"reaches, achingly, towards utopia..."

26 December 2019: "The failures are the spaces between the lines, the little gaps where the human stories really took place, outside of this narrative of an ongoing march of progress, that reaches, achingly, towards utopia..." --Avery Trufelman, in this episode of Nice Try, which I started listening to today on my drive back to West Virginia. This particular episode is about Jamestown, but her sentiment here at the end is just so spot-on for all attempts at perfection.
