The building was going condo. A wave of exhilaration washed over me. I grabbed my phone, immediately calling my best friend, Maya. "Guess what?" I practically shouted.

I spent the whole afternoon browsing furniture websites and envisioning my perfect space. I sketched out new layout plans. The prospect of customizing my apartment ignited something within me. I was excited about the future for the first time in a while.

That evening, I cooked dinner, something I hadn't felt like doing in ages. The food tasted delicious. As I ate, I felt an unfamiliar sense of optimism.
