The Empty Canvas

Mira had lost her job, her home, and her sense of purpose all within a year.
She stood in her small apartment, looking at the blank wall.

One day, she bought a canvas and paints.
She hesitated frozen by fear of making mistakes.

But then, she dipped her brush into color and made the first stroke.
It wasn’t perfect.
It was messy and uncertain.

Yet with each brushstroke, Mira felt something shift inside her.
A quiet hope began to grow.

Her canvas wasn’t just a painting it was her life,
And she was starting fresh, one bold color at a time.
