A giggle escaped her lips. The constant pressure, the feeling of being stifled, suddenly felt… distant.

She bought a new notebook and a set of vibrant colored pens. She sat in the sunshine, sketching ideas for her project, ideas she had previously suppressed. The silence in her apartment, usually a source of anxiety, now felt… expansive. She could actually *think* again.
