THE WOMAN WHO CHOSE HERSELF
"Pain is a Visitor, Not a Tenant"
Amara woke up to the sound of rain tapping softly against the window.
For a moment, she forgot where she was.
No fancy bed. No warm arms wrapped around her.
Just herself — and the storm outside.
She sat up slowly, her body aching from the restless night.
The pain in her heart was still there, heavy and sharp.
But it felt... different.
Like a wound beginning to scab over.
She shuffled to the small desk by the window, pulled out an old notepad and a faded pen left behind by a former guest.
She began to write, not thinking, just feeling:
> "Dear Amara,
You survived your worst day.
You walked away from betrayal.
You chose yourself.
The world will call you stubborn, foolish, even cursed... but they are wrong.
You are brave.
You are enough.
And you are allowed to start over."
Tears dropped onto the paper, smudging the ink.
But Amara didn’t stop writing.
She poured out her fears.
Her regrets.
Her broken dreams.
And slowly, the weight in her chest began to lift, even if just a little.

Pain, she realized, was a visitor — not a tenant.
It had entered her life without warning, but it didn’t have to stay forever.
She had the right to heal.
She had the right to rebuild.
As she closed the notepad, she whispered to herself,
"This is not where my story ends."
Outside, the rain kept falling.
But inside, a small seed of hope had been planted.
And Amara — though bruised and battered — was ready to water it.
