teaching overrated truths and facts

All I wanted to teach her, all the difference between us, the names of the streets, of the people, the relationships the tricks of the trade, the different accents, what I thought I knew that she did not know but I wanted her to know, she taught herself all of this in the short interval between school and college. Thus demystifying the distances between us toward adulthood. The alleys between highways, the highways themselves, were just dwarfs to her, and monsters to me… she learned them all and found no magic in them. I had glorified that knowledge for no reason… way way overrated truths.. I need to rethink everything now
