# Prologue: The Gentle Start

## The Opening Lines

Every story worth telling begins quietly. A prologue isn't the roar of adventure or the twist of plot—it's the soft breath before words unfold. It sets a scene, hints at what's coming, draws you in without rush. On a crisp winter evening like this one in December 2025, I think of prologues as those moments we pause to gather our thoughts, like fog lifting over a still lake.

## Plain Words in .md

Markdown, that simple .md, mirrors this. No flashy designs or hidden codes—just clear text, headers, lists if needed. It's for notes scribbled in haste, ideas captured raw. Prologue.md feels like a notebook's first page: unadorned, inviting you to write without pretense. Here, meaning emerges from everyday language, not complexity.

- A single line can spark reflection.
- A short list holds life's quiet truths.
- Bold thoughts stand out, naturally.

This format teaches us: depth hides in simplicity. Strip away excess, and your voice shines.

## Inviting Your Beginning

What if we lived like prologues? Approach each day as an introduction—to a conversation, a change, a memory. Not rushing to climax, but savoring the setup. Prologue.md reminds us stories aren't rushed; they're built line by line, in honest strokes.

*In the end, every chapter follows a prologue worth writing.*
