The tight knot of anxiety in Clara's stomach had finally dissolved. The past few weeks had been a blur of stressful deadlines, but now, the pressure had released. She felt a certain elasticity in her limbs, a lightness in her step. She decided to take a long walk by the ocean.

The rhythmic crashing of waves, the salty air, the vast expanse of the sea - all of it soothed her. She felt cleansed. She felt… present. The breeze played with her hair as she walked along the beach, and the sunlight seemed to infuse her with energy.

A frantic text message jolted her from her reverie. A gallery had displayed her work without her consent. But as she read it, instead of anger, a sort of… calm washed over her. She knew she had choices. She felt… invigorated. She decided to deal with it.
