The Second Bloom

Marcie stood in the middle of her tiny living room, boxes stacked like question marks around her. She’d just moved across the country, leaving behind a job that drained her spirit and a love that never truly loved her back. For the first time in years, she was choosing herself.

She didn’t know exactly what was next. But that morning, when she opened her window and let the sunlight spill across her floor, she smiled. “This is my second bloom,” she whispered. “I’m not starting over—I’m starting fresh.”

And with a cup of coffee in one hand and a journal in the other, she began writing the next beautiful chapter of her life.
