@drrichardmoore232: I just want to be happy. Not in a loud, picture-perfect way, not in a way that needs to be proven or explained to anyone else. I want the kind of happiness that feels calm inside my chest, that lets me breathe without fear, that doesn’t come with conditions or cost my peace. I want mornings that don’t feel heavy, conversations that don’t drain me, and love that feels safe instead of uncertain. I don’t want much from this life just a heart that rests easy, a soul that feels seen, and the quiet knowing that, after everything I’ve been through, choosing happiness is not too much to ask.
