The weight of the backpack on Maya’s shoulders felt insignificant as she crested the hilltop, the wind whipping through her hair. The panoramic view of the valley below was breathtaking. She pulled out her phone to take a picture and noticed a text. A message meant for her boss, outlining a proposal for a new project - that she had sent to "Larry." She laughed, feeling buoyant. It was a mistake, but it was just a tiny blip on the radar of her joy. She took a deep breath of the crisp mountain air, feeling incredibly alive.
