The Day Silence Replaced Her Voice
I never imagined silence could be so loud. It was a Thursday afternoon—the kind of day you forget before it’s even over. The sun peeked out between the clouds like it couldn’t decide whether to shine or hide.

The Soundtrack of My Life

She Told Me She Loved Me—Right Before Her Wedding
I met Maya in the spring. Not the metaphorical kind—the actual season. The world was waking up in color again after months of gray, and there she was, walking into my life with that same energy.
