Sweet Lemonade
I woke up to the stillness of the night, the clock reading a few minutes past 3 a.m. The world outside was silent, yet my mind buzzed with wakefulness. After a brief trip to ease myself, I returned to bed, hoping for sleepto reclaim me. But as the minutes stretched into an hour, I surrendered to my restlessness and reached for my phone. Scrolling aimlessly, I stumbled upon an account I follow on a social media platform- a storyteller who shares uplifting tales of humanity's kindness and resilience
