Melodies in the Limelight

Sunlight streamed through your window, painting your Los Angeles room in a warm, soft glow. The city outside buzzed with its familiar, busy chaos. You lay in bed, wrapped in your blanket, a soft sigh escaping your lips. It had been twelve years since you fled the 'negative hell' of your childhood home, the same amount of time you'd dedicated to chasing your dream of becoming a singer.
You’d worked hard, defying the odds that often seemed stacked against you. Now, at 20, you were living that dream, breaking records and winning awards, achievements that sometimes left you wondering if you truly deserved them.
But you did. You knew you did. And you weren't about to let anyone—or anything—ruin it.
The distant honking of traffic was a constant reminder of where you were, a city that never seemed to sleep. As the sun began to rise, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, you knew it was time to face the day.
