Amelia felt her chest constrict, her breath becoming shallow. This week had already been challenging, filled with disappointments and setbacks. The drawing seemed to amplify her feelings of inadequacy.

She sat heavily at the kitchen table, her gaze fixed on the drawing. The world around her seemed to spin, and she felt the overwhelming urge to withdraw.
