A Quiet Yearning

Written by: Ally Bernales

She felt trapped in a loop, her days blending into each other with no sense of direction or discovery. The weight of limitation pressed against her, making her yearn for something more—something undefined, something mysterious. She didn’t want to vanish but to transform, to strip away the labels and roles that confined her and uncover the parts of herself she had long ignored.

There was a restless hope within her, a quiet desire to step away from the familiar and into the unknown. She longed to hear her own voice in the silence, to find pieces of herself she believed were waiting to be discovered. She imagined exploring, creating, and challenging her limits, believing there must be strength and passion hidden in places she had yet to look.

She didn’t know when or how, but she held onto the thought that one day, she would feel limitless. One day, she would know what it truly meant to live as herself.
