Life on the Inside
The walls are always there. You can’t run from them. They're a constant reminder of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time stops altogether. There are routines, small rituals that help you cope with the monotony. Meals at specific times, rolls call, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to live in the moment in the ordinary. A clean cell, a letter from home – these become your victories. You build relationships with cellmates, finding solidarity in shared experiences. You have to be observant of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing hopelessness. But sometimes, amidst the darkness, there are moments of beauty. A shared joke, a spontaneous song, a quiet conversation that speaks volumes. These fleeting glimpses of humanity remind you that even in this confined space from the outside, there is still hope.

A hunch of wonder lingers in the air, reminding us that even in loss, there are echoes of a extraordinary past.
