In this moment, coming back after fifteen years of wandering, the journey stretching across different cities and continents, I felt the essence of home wash over me. Here, within these walls and the soft glow filtering through the curtains, every bit of growth, experience, and emotion comes alive-a story of beginnings, setbacks, new beginnings, and reconnecting.
Through those curtains, memories rush in: the gentle moonlight that illuminated my childhood dreams, the soothing chirps of birds from the nearby woods. And beyond those curtains, I see the changes in the town, lit by unfamiliar lights-a reminder of time's constant flow, touching every corner like a gentle stream.
