Lingering Conversation
Our conversation lingered, tangled in reflections of the past and uncertainties of the future. Unspoken regrets hovered between us, silent reminders of dreams pursued and dreams lost. “You wanted your own path,” I said, and she nodded. “And maybe I wanted too much.” It was remarkable how shared aspirations had shifted into separate journeys. In that quiet moment, the pursuit of personal fulfillment felt sharper and more urgent than ever.
