A wave of relief washed over me as I finished the final chapter of my novel. The words flowed effortlessly, and I felt a sense of connection to something larger than myself. I was meeting up with Emily, a financial expert. There she was, though, dressed in a hot dog costume and waving at the traffic! I felt a sudden urge to laugh, a bubbling joy that wouldn't be contained. The air around me seemed to shimmer, and every color seemed more vivid than before. I felt like I could fly.
