Courage Found

<p>Sometimes starting over feels like stepping into quicksand-one wrong move and you're sinking. I didn't expect to find myself back at square one struggling to balance my dwindling savings account and my runaway dreams. But here I am writing freelance articles in a cozy corner café and pretending I know what I'm doing. Enter Jonah-charming caffeinated and entirely too good at making me laugh when I'd rather be wallowing in self-doubt. He's the barista with an artist's soul and somehow he's convinced that I'm capable of something great even when I can barely pay the rent. As we dive deeper into each other's lives it feels like I'm tiptoeing along the edge of possibility-like I might actually find the courage to make something real of this messy beautiful existence. But Jonah has his own secrets and as his past comes knocking I have to wonder if I'm setting myself up for another fall. Can I really keep moving forward or am I just stumbling in circles hoping that one day everything will finally click into place?</p>
