Childhood Quote by Sanne van Dolder
““I lit a cigarette, using the matches I always carried in my left pocket, the song playing inside hit the backdoor and then my ears, it was a song I didn’t know, with a familiar melody, like those faces you do not recognize at first glance but remind you of your childhood as they start speaking, but it could just be nostalgic longing.””
