Everything Means Something or Nothing Means Anything

The new year opens inside Albion with broken phones, freezing weather, and a Felonist who’s changing whether she wants to or not. As she rewrites her book, trims away old stories, and stands her ground in the unit, she begins to understand that prison has reshaped her—her boundaries, her bluntness, her faith, and her sense of worth. Books, readings, and contemplative prayer become her lifeline, revealing messages she believes God is sending through the written word. She misses Grace, doesn’t miss Bill, and starts imagining the stories she might write when she’s free. In the quiet of early January, one truth crystallizes: either everything means something, or nothing means anything. And she’s finally choosing the former.
