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

I am 23.

Lady —

not yet woman.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpllHDR179t

Unmarried,

still unfolding.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLAnBZR9yM

A pharmacy student

in her final year,

with exams on the horizon,

but calm within.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMILW7BwYmi

I’ve studied.

I’ve planned.

Now I rest, not in fear,

but in knowing.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbg8gHhvfj

I know who I am.

I am Ann.

And I am all whom I have named.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2wuxRx98y

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ekLeAhk1C

I’m in between.

No, I haven’t started the first chapter.

Not yet.

But I’ve written the perfect prologue.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEONQcz3Ux4

I asked.

I wandered.

I broke and came back.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEtQXnLVSn

I looked around

and saw the world with open eyes.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGquDNBZ0N

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznbbUxVEd8

Because I am

never truly alone.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aCyt6w868

I have my

four selves with me.

They sit with me.

Speak to me.

Grow with me.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlpxszCDQ6

They are the

quiet proof

that I am whole —

even before the

world names me so.
