The moment before the wish.
That pause right before midnight—
when everything feels possible,
when the past softens,
and the future hasn’t spoken yet.
This sparkler holds that feeling for me.
A reminder that light doesn’t need to last forever to matter.
It just needs to be real.
Here’s to new beginnings, quiet hope, and choosing light—
even if only for a moment.
