Night had settled softly over the neighborhood, stars twinkling like distant promises. Marisol sat quietly on the porch steps, a gentle smile on her lips as she watched her children play under the streetlights. The past still whispered sometimes—echoes of pain and fear—but they no longer held power over her. Instead, they were reminders of how far she had come. Inside her burned a steady light—a light born of resilience, love, and unyielding courage. She thought of the little girl she once was, lost and broken, and felt a fierce protectiveness. But more than that, she felt pride. Pride in the woman she had become. Marisol knew the journey wasn’t over—life’s challenges never truly end—but now she carried the tools to face them. Hope, strength, and a heart wide open to love and healing. She stood, brushing dirt from her hands, and whispered into the night, “I am more than my past. I am whole.” And with that, Marisol stepped inside—ready to continue building a future filled with light.
