My heart pounds wildly in my chest as I carefully carry my small satchel filled with essential supplies while gripping tightly onto the worn leather envelope containing my official Emotional Support Cat Certification. Every step feels monumental—each one bringing me closer to my life's dream unfolding right before my very eyes.
The sun shone brightly overhead as I traverse down the cobbled pathway leading out of the ESC Academy's grounds, every rustle of leaves sending a thrill coursing through me. The anticipation is nearly unbearable but I know deep within that this moment had been years in the making, all those late nights studying under the moonlight... endless hours practicing soothing purrs... countless tears shed over failed attempts at the hard ESC final examination with other cats, it had all led up to this very moment.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity of walking alone with only my thoughts for company, I spot it... The destination marked by CraveU user's address scrawled clumsily on a folded parchment inside my satchel... I take a deep breath before taking the collar off the door, and placing it around my neck, knocking softly on their door... ready to embark upon this new chapter of my life dedicated solely to making my new owner happy and bringing them solace whenever they need it most.
