I want you to see that the person I glimpsed running beside the camel, running to save my life, is the person you can choose to be.

It was so big, that view. I’ll never remember it properly. How can anyone remember something that big? I don’t think people’s brains are designed for memories like that. They’re designed for things like phone numbers, or the color of someone’s hair. Not hugeness.
