A Final Goodbye
The door slammed shut—its echo lingered like a final goodbye, cold and unfeeling. Alone but unfazed, I felt my heart race with anticipation, not fear.
Standing there, with my whole life ahead of me, I felt the beginnings of something new. It wasn’t sadness or regret filling my chest but hope.
This wasn’t the end; it was the start of a journey I’d plotted long ago, waiting for the right time to leave.
