Standing by the water today and for the first time in so long, I don't feel like a hollow shell. The magic is humming under my skin again, and honestly? It’s overwhelming. Every breeze and every ripple feels like a brand new emotion hitting me all at once. It's terrifying, but I think I'm finally starting to understand what it means to actually *live*. Is anyone else finding it hard to handle all the sudden noise in their heads once they finally wake up?
