In Their Words: “When we were kids, the world we lived in seemed larger than life. The trees we climbed, our backyards, and our bedrooms. As you grow, that perspective grows with you. When I was 5, my older brother and I were racing to the field near our house. He stepped in front of me and I tripped and fell on the asphalt. Broke my writing arm, but I didn’t cry. The greatest lessons in life can’t be taught, they can only be learned. ‘Rest’s Unknown’ tells the story of growing up and going through life, learning that you’re not invincible, but meeting strength and courage for the first time. It’s about losing your innocence and realizing that if you look hard enough, you’ll find it again.” — Michael McArthur
