Between Prolong and Chapter 1: Real, Truth & There - Prologue, Perfectly Written

I am 23.

Lady —

not yet woman.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpSlKfQs2q

Unmarried,

still unfolding.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS1R38GL3m

A pharmacy student

in her final year,

with exams on the horizon,

but calm within.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyvaRux3V7

I’ve studied.

I’ve planned.

Now I rest, not in fear,

but in knowing.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3aRJIu7il

I know who I am.

I am Ann.

And I am all whom I have named.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqWCBT8mc5

Each one — a lens, a layer, a truth.

I gave them names

so I could see myself more clearly

from every side.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf1kqRX1SS

I’m in between.

No, I haven’t started the first chapter.

Not yet.

But I’ve written the perfect prologue.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BAjrSfF7

I asked.

I wandered.

I broke and came back.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPNqLMH8dA

I looked around

and saw the world with open eyes.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT6wMGK9yg

And even in the

in-between,

even when

I walk without

company,

when everyone

else moves on

with life,

I do not feel lonely.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjfwDco8QN

Because I am

never truly alone.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXket83rccy

I have my

four selves with me.

They sit with me.

Speak to me.

Grow with me.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDQsQrEHcb

They are the

quiet proof

that I am whole —

even before the

world names me so.
