I realized what a creative time it was-you’re just kind of bubbling over with curiosity-and I think as adults, we kind of write off young people and are obsessed with, “I hate the way I looked in high school,” “I was such a loser,” “Everything I made was junk and garbage.” The journey of spending two years in a high school mindset made me realize that wasn’t how we were. Tegan Quin : I think for Sara and I, it was cathartic to go back and revisit that time. What was it like to relive those formative moments that helped shape who you both are now?
