  1. > It's been 10 years to the day since the accident that brought you to Equestria
  2. > It took you a long time to get used to being here, but eventually you managed to make a life for yourself here in this strange world
  3. > You've got great friends, a meaningful job and even managed to find love and start a family
  4. > But damn there are times when you miss Earth so much
  5. > Mostly little things, like a good beer or TV, but every now and again you just wish you could have a conversation with another human being, and sometimes you wonder if you'll ever truly fit in
  6. > Every anniversary you've taken the day off work to reflect on your life, luckily Lyra is incredibly supportive of this and leaves you be for the whole day.
  7. > You sit in your study, starting at the object arranged on your desk - the contents of your pockets when you arrived in Equestria. A wallet filled with useless money, a smartphone with a long dead battery and keys to a door you can never open again
  8. > You hold them tightly, trying to remember it all - the sounds, sights, emotions - everything about your old life
  9. > But every year it gets harder and harder
  10. > You wonder if you can ever let go of these things, fully embrace being stuck in Equestria and let go of Earth
  11. > Suddenly a minty smell fills your nostrils and feel a tug on your arm
  12. > Your daughter is there, grinning a gap-toothed grin
  13. > She learned to walk properly this year, it took her longer than normal given her anatomy
  14. > "Come and play Daddy?"
  15. > "Sweetie," you sigh, "Daddy needs some time to himself."
  16. > "I'll be quiet," she says reaching up for your hand. "We can be ourselves together."
  17. > You hesitate for a second, before nodding and taking her little hand in yours.
  18. > You love your daughter with all of your heart
  19. > But today of all days it feels especially wonderful to hold another human hand.
  20. > Will you be okay?
  21. > Well, there's always Hope
