Yesterday afternoon, my doorbell rang, and my stomach tightened when I saw a police officer outside. He handed me an envelope and said it was related to my lottery winnings. My heart eased when he added that it wasn’t trouble—just paperwork I needed to complete. He congratulated me and wished me well before walking away.
Today, I’m using the money wisely—focusing on my future, my stability, and the life I want to build. I still love my family, but I finally understand the power of boundaries. And with that lesson, I stepped confidently into a new chapter.
