Picture this.
I’ve just landed. The sun hits with an almost unbearable intensity — the kind of heat that presses itself onto your skin as if it has important business with you. I’m dressed in heels (a decision my feet still file complaints about), dragging my luggage one determined step at a time. Sweat. Fatigue. A longing for my hotel room. The journey has been long, and the moment feels heavier under that blazing sun.
