Perspective

They were just little kids, back half their lives ago. It was just a day, just one September Tuesday, wherever they were in the world. Seven years ago, an oblivious Korean kid vacationed in Chicago; a hemisphere South, another boy waited impatiently for Digimon to resume in Rio. And now here they sit, side by side in Missouri. Life has gone on, or is just getting started. It was never their story, exactly. History learned, not life lived. It's not another difference between them and me, just the main one, illustrated.
