The Moment She Knew
A single heartbeat between doubt and decision — that fleeting instant when clarity cuts through everything. She had spent years moving through other people’s expectations, smiling where silence was safer, painting her own desires in invisible colors. But that morning, the light hit differently — softer, more honest. It revealed what she had hidden from herself all along: she wasn’t lost. She was waiting.
And in that stillness, she understood — sometimes the most radical act is simply to stop pretending you don’t already know.
