“Get’Em Tiger”

The girl in the spider’s web

For a fleeting moment, it felt like the universe finally aligned in my favor, like every wish I had ever whispered had somehow found its way back to me. I was happy in a way that felt rare and real, the kind that fills your chest quietly with love, hope, and light. I got to live the very things I had asked God for… right before everything changed.

Now, it feels like I’ve been pulled into a different reality, one where things are heavier, quieter, and harder to understand. There’s a grief I don’t quite know how to hold yet, and a loss that doesn’t come with instructions. The days feel unfamiliar, like I’m learning how to exist in a world that doesn’t feel the same anymore.

But even here, in the middle of all this, those memories still shine. These photos, these fragments of something beautiful, feel like constellations in a dark sky, small points of light reminding me that what I lived was real, and that it mattered.

I don’t have everything figured out. I don’t know how to carry all of this yet. But I’m still here, holding onto those moments like anchors, the ones that came before everything shifted, and somehow, they’re what keep me moving forward, even if it’s just one quiet step at a time.
