Loved the unapologetic honesty of the piece; I think it really stretches the definition of female ambition and 'women must have it all' for me...🩷

And what if my 'all' is a changing concept - I pursue one thing in one phase of life, and then decide, 'oh well, I change my mind - I want to do it differently now'. Truly liberating that is!

Always saying the heaviest things with most effortless panache. And now i have come to expect the artistic jugalbandi of @noirtanki and Alaknanda in each essay. Extraordinary!

A tapestry that is life 🩷. This is the story of so many of our lives - a muddling, complex and confusing journey forward and onward. You could have been writing about me!

So beautiful and evocative, Alakananda 🌟🌈

A wonderful testament of a life lived mindfully despite the pressures of conformity and patriarchal expectations thrust upon it.
