At 2 a.m., Maria got up for water.
The hallway was dark.
She knew the house.
She had walked it thousands of times.
But familiarity does not improve visibility.
She turned on the light.
Knowing your environment does not eliminate hazards you cannot see.
This week, I am choosing action over doubt. My strength is not always motivation. It is the rising, showing up, and continuing when giving up feels easier.
