Unearthing my great-grandfather's wartime letters this year in Milan has completely shifted my perspective, making me feel the weight of my family's story in a whole new way. Navigating the awkward space between being a kid and growing up has been a trip, especially with school getting tougher and my sister finding her own path. It's like I'm sketching a new chapter, one with a lot more history and a lot less playing with pigeons.
