Caught Running Like A Horse, This Woman Became An Internet Sensation
Learning to Breathe in the Quiet
Everything felt foreign—too bright, too loud, too unfamiliar—but Calla tried to get used to her new life. She watched, listened, and practiced the small, quiet art of getting by. The group home wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t cruel. The overseers smiled often, cracked dry jokes, and made sure no one went to bed hungry or unheard. That helped.
Not every kid was kind, and arguments sparked like static, but there was no real meanness aimed at her. No cornered whispers or slammed doors meant for her ears. It wasn’t home, but it was a place to stand still, breathe, and maybe begin again.
