There was a little girl standing over the poor rooftops of Chicago, her eyes filled with hunger, fear, and wonder.
There were nights when everything felt possible.
And others when every choice came at a price.
It wasn’t just a city.
It was a breath, a glance, a possibility.
Not every city welcomes you.
Some put you to the test.
It was no longer a choice.
It was a destiny taking shape.
