I could have either become a victim or a survivor. I decided to embark upon my solo journey as a survivor. This journey from a wounded naive little girl to a woman who shattered all the barriers to making way for her wings is my personal rendition of Metamorphosis. However, in this journey, my dark past never ceased to haunt me. Life endeavours took me to many places, within and outside my home country. Many people crossed paths in this journey, and some stayed as memory while some as lessons. But my childhood stayed like a souvenir of how strong and vulnerable I could be. In life's ups and downs, love found and lost, while absconding from one place to another, I found purpose, I made my dreams come true, I found a home. I turned the dark past into the dawn of my life. But, I am conscious of the fact that nothing lasts forever - be it good or evil - the journey continues!Let me take you on a ride en route this journey called life...
