... I was too young then to figure out how mere geographical or temporal considerations could separate people. These are the reasons why I should not have wondered what I wondered later, while I was looking at our broken reflections in the mirror-if there is something, even the misfortune, which is tinted to each other in all the years that were to follow.
In the book "Prep" by Curtis Sittenfeld, the narrator reflects on the complexities of human relationships shaped by geography and time. They express a sense of confusion during their younger years about why physical distance and different life stages could lead to separation between people. This realization highlights a deeper understanding of human connections and the factors that influence them.
The narrator also ponders the lasting impact of experiences, including misfortunes, on these relationships over the years. This introspection reveals a sense of nostalgia and a recognition of how shared experiences, despite their challenges, can ultimately bind individuals together as they navigate through life.
