Lavender in a Drawer

This essay is beautifully written. I particularly appreciate the vivid detail the author used to describe their childhood memories.

The last paragraph caught me off-guard with its shift in tone and focus. The narrative makes the point that while memories can be strong, they often fail to remind us of all of the details. This is certainly germane to how the justice system operates; I just feel that its relevance was rushed in at the end.
