"Wow," Emily breathed, her voice filled with a mixture of awe and laughter. She had stumbled upon a treasure trove of her younger selfโ€™s artistic endeavors. Every drawing, every paper snowflake, every construction paper Christmas tree. Her mom, bless her heart, had saved it all.

She ran her fingers over a particularly vibrant crayon drawing of a unicorn. She was practically vibrating with a feeling that was utterly and completely amazing. She felt like she could accomplish anything. She felt like her heart might burst with joy.

She began to hum, a cheerful little tune. The world seemed brighter, more colorful. She felt a magnetic pull towards the phone, eager to share the news with her siblings. She wanted to spend the whole day looking at these memories.
