I am a single woman in her mid-forties. I have lost a few valuable things along the way; a best friend, a life partner, a father, and above all, my youth.

I am learning to rediscover joy and purpose, on how to be alone but not lonely, strong and yet vulnerable, how in my cynicism I am still able to see that glimmer of hope just when it feels like everything is lost.

I hope to navigate through life's disappointments without losing sight of what's still important in this world.
