Hi, thanks for this contest and here is my entry. :)

Lina was chained, not physically but emotionally. She is still blaming herself from an accident that happened last year. It is easy to say move on, but can we really move on from a tragic past? Lina telling her friend who was just concern about her and telling her to move on.

It was a year ago already but she can still remember how she lost the life of her husband from a car accident. If only she was more careful while driving and never insisted to drive that time, that will never happen, she told herself.

One night she was so depressed and crying herself to sleep. In her dream, her husband was smiling at her and telling her how much he loved her, as well as their son. He told her to live free from the guilt and enjoy life to the fullest. She woke up crying hard and realizing how much she neglected their son after the tragedy. She immediately went to her son's room and watch him sleep. Lina told herself that from now on, she will be the best mother for their child and will focus more on moving on for the better.
