"Can you believe it?" The words were barely out of Maria's mouth when she started apologizing to her neighbor. The music from her new neighbour was too loud. She felt bad for complaining.

Her heart felt light, especially after she calmed the situation down. Her friend was a kind woman. She could offer her some homemade meals.

She made her way back into her apartment and resumed the book she was reading. She felt a peacefulness. The music was a reminder that people are able to do whatever it is they want, and she was grateful for the freedom in her life.
