Washington, D.C. felt quieter than I expected. Beyond the monuments and marble, there was a rhythm—steady, reflective, almost hushed. Mornings began with footsteps on brick sidewalks and the rustle of trees in old neighborhoods. I remember standing beneath a canopy of cherry blossoms and thinking, “This city holds history like a heartbeat—constant, unseen, but always there.”
What stayed with me were the in-between spaces: the stillness of a museum atrium, the golden hour on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the warmth of a bookstore tucked just off a busy avenue. I wandered through gardens, row houses, and quiet corners of power, and I left feeling thoughtful—like I’d walked through something larger than myself, but never felt small.
