i wasn't even thinking about it, just scrubbing soap, and then this melody, not even a tune i knew, just... came out, a soft, spontaneous vibration rising from somewhere deep inside, not forced, not willed, just there, and then i realized my throat wasn't tight, my jaw wasn't clenched like it used to be, just open, letting the sound float upwards, and it wasn't a performance for anyone, it was just a breath expressing itself through sound, and it felt like a tiny, personal miracle, like finding that forgotten language wasn't just about understanding but about speaking it too, effortlessly, for the sheer joy of the sound existing, filling up the space around me with something that felt like pure ease.
