The small screen glowed in front of Sarah as she reread her essay. The words, once so personal, now felt like a shared secret, a bridge between her and the unknown readers. A shiver ran down her spine, a combination of nervousness and something else, something wonderful.

She noticed the way the sunlight hit the dust motes dancing in the air of her room. She smiled softly, and picked up her phone, only to put it back down again. Her thoughts kept returning to her essay, the emotions she’d laid bare.

She felt like she could talk for hours, tell stories, even though she usually preferred to listen. She felt buoyant, light, almost like she could float.
