Michelangelo sibyl from the Sistine Chapel

 

slow summer days

It was nice to see Hope yesterday for a little while. She seems to be enjoying life, which makes sense. Here she is nineteen years old away from home for the first time in her life with only the quasi parental guidance of the military to hold her back. New and different people are within easy reach for her and this will probably be the last time that she will have so much freedom.

Part of me envies her, but at the same time I know that I've already been where she is now.
