Debbie and Aria were walking through a bustling night market, the air filled with the scent of grilled meats and the chatter of vendors.
"Look at this!" Aria exclaimed, holding up a ridiculous hat covered in pom-poms. "This is the solution to all your problems."
Debbie laughed, shaking her head. "How do you always make everything seem so simple?"
"Because life doesn't have to be complicated," Aria
replied, slipping the hat onto Debbie's head. "You just have to find joy in the little things. Like this hat. Or bubble tea. Or karaoke!"
Debbie smiled, feeling lighter for the first time in
weeks. Maybe Aria was right. Maybe life didn't have to be so complicated.
