the past hasnt passed

A woman nearing forty returns to her family’s home after divorce, with her child by her side. She has nowhere else to go. But the house she returns to isn’t a refuge—it’s a reminder. Of everything she never dared to confront. The pain she buried, the regrets she ignored, and the love she never fully let go of. Each morning, she wakes under the weight of both the past and the present. She must stay strong for her child, yet deep inside, she’s trying to gather the broken pieces of herself. Some lives don’t restart from where they ended— they begin again with a quiet scream only the heart can hear.
