Me
I am a self-published author and creative artist shaped by existentialism, faith, and spirituality. This book stands on its own, but it will not stand alone — it is the first of several provocative, soul-searching conversations still to come.
My Story
Broke, jobless, homeless, divorced, all dreams dashed, and depressed, with no promising future in sight—the stuff nervous breakdowns and midlife crises are made of. I couldn’t help but wonder: is this all there is to my life? And if it was, did that mean I was destined to spend the rest of it depressed? Was being alive without actually living meant to be enough?
Somewhere between wine, tears, therapy, antidepressants, and prayer, my pursuit of happiness became an interrogation of my own mind. I had asked for the perfect life, believing that happiness did not exist anywhere else and instead received an inner pilgrimage—one that demanded the courage to ask and confront uncomfortable questions.
Through this inner dialogue, I discovered that the answers we seek are already within us, revealed when we learn to ask the right questions. This journey became my answered prayer—not through a single breakthrough or a change in circumstances, but through the slow realisation that many of my wounds were self-inflicted, and that waiting to be rescued from my own life was a luxury I could no longer afford.
I learnt that happiness wasn’t missing; I was.
I share these reflections to encourage anyone willing to face themselves honestly to begin their own inner dialogue and create a happiness that is deeply personal and uniquely theirs.
