The rain hammered against the windows as I settled into my favorite armchair with a newly acquired copy of "Wuthering Heights." I was ready to lose myself in the romantic misery of the novel, hoping to drown out the internal bleakness that had been plaguing me. I needed a distraction.

A letter fell out, handwritten on thick, cream-colored paper. The words were simple, filled with a raw honesty that resonated within me. It spoke of courage and resilience, of facing storms head-on. A lightness filled my chest. I felt like I could climb mountains. I took a deep breath, and I felt a smile stretch across my face. I had a sudden need to clean my apartment.
