The house seemed to hum with a secret energy. Maya had been exploring her parentsโ€™ attic and stumbled upon a goldmine of memories: the preserved evidence of her academic career. She giggled, a tiny, involuntary sound. The boxes were filled with stories and memories.

She felt like she was floating. She picked up a drawing of a rainbow and smiled, eyes shining. A feeling of unadulterated happiness radiated through her. She wanted to sing. She wanted to dance.

She started humming a happy tune, moving her feet. She was overcome with the urge to show these treasures to her entire family. She felt absolutely amazing. She was filled with a sense of pure, innocent joy.
