The house that had held so many hopes and secrets loomed large as I stepped outdoors. The next day, I would begin afresh, constructing a life defined not by my past losses but by the freedom and dignity that I had consciously chosen to acquire. I experienced my first true moment of tranquility amidst the night’s eerily still air.
