The night deepened, and the stars above my open window shimmered with a serene brilliance, casting a tranquil glow into the room.
Even after spending nearly a decade in this world, the sight of the night sky remained a marvel—an endless expanse of twinkling lights that never quite lost their charm.
'You just really can't get used to it…'
I mused, the thought lingering as I watched the celestial display.
The beauty of it was both soothing and humbling, a stark reminder of how small and insignificant my personal struggles seemed in the grand scheme of the universe.
With a peaceful sigh, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, allowing the calm to wash over me.
It was a fleeting moment of tranquility before the weight of the coming challenges pressed upon my mind.
I turned my attention to the letter on my desk, a blank canvas waiting for my thoughts to shape it.
