It’s inspiring how you’ve turned a situation that could have been daunting into an opportunity for personal freedom.

That shift from survival to thriving really shows the strength in embracing independence.

I imagine the realization that life could be lived entirely on your terms must have felt both liberating and empowering.

The idea of enjoying those small, simple pleasures—like staying up late to read or heading out for a dance—highlights the joy in doing things purely for yourself.

Thanks for sharing.
