there are almost 60 passages, I don’t want to add any more because I feel like I’ve included what I set out to include in my creative vision. I wanted to capture what jersey is like for me and I can’t think of anything else I’ve done there that works with the narrative I’ve set up and wouldn’t feel like unnecessary afterthoughts. I wanted it to be based in reality and if I added more I’d have to ruin that by making things up, either that or dragging out what I already have when I feel like it’s made it’s point. Also, I wanted it to be based on memory and feel nostalgic and I’m don’t have a lot of memories. I understand if this isn’t a good enough reason though so it’s okay if I lose points
