A gentle euphoria buzzed within Jessica as she started her day. The mundane office tasks felt exciting, each one a chance to shine. She felt like she could run a marathon. Her thoughts were clear, and she tackled her work with a spring in her step.

She saw her coworker, Ben, looking stressed. Jessica offered to help, her voice filled with genuine warmth. She found she could relate to everything.

"I remember the talent shows," Ben suddenly said, with a smile. "At Camp Starbright."

"Camp Starbright!" Jessica exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. "I was the lead in the play every year!" The whole office seemed to vibrate with joy.
