I didn't get my old life back.
I got something better.
A blank page. A clean slate. A story only I get to write.
Maybe I'll build a new company. Maybe I'll open a flower shop and learn to bake. Maybe I'll travel until I forget the names that once hurt me.
And maybe, just maybe, I'll let someone love me the way I finally love myself—without conditions, without pretending, without loss.
But no matter what I choose…
This time, I choose for me.
