You are right, I was drawing a parallel here. There's no way that these neighbors could've known that the hill meant anything to anyone. I didn't make a conscious decision to walk to their house and sob on their doorstep, but I just found myself there. I was very embarrassed about this at first, but it got them to clean up the hillside and that really did help me in the moment.
