Medium fit

Storage reflects how much Pam held onto over the years. She carried the full weight of what was happening to her — the abuse, the fear, the confusion about her father's death, her sister's condition, the secret of her parents' divorce — without being able to put any of it down or share it with anyone. For decades she held all of it. The writing of her book, which she describes as "the most cleansing thing I've ever done," was the moment her storage was finally offloaded — not deleted, but moved out of active memory and into something external.
