The professor’s voice, thick with apology, echoed through the lecture hall. But for Maya, the words were like a liberation. She sat upright, a broad grin spreading across her face. Her chest expanded. She felt a newfound sense of clarity.

The repetitive lectures, the endless assignments, the suffocating atmosphere of the college library, all seemed to dissolve. She had always felt like she didn't belong. Now, she was free.

She closed her eyes, imagining a future where she could pursue her true passions. A future where she would be free to explore her true potential. She wanted to run.
