Brighton, Colorado

Everything seemed so much bigger as an 11-year-old compared to a now 35. The road from my apartment to our favorite park felt forever long, but in reality is only 0.5 miles away. The hill I learned how to ride a bike felt like a mountainous incline, but in reality was no taller than a small mound. It was nice to be in a familiar place, yet I felt like a complete stranger to a place I once called home.
