#797 Practicing Living for Yourself

A line from a drama that touched my heart.

There was a poignant exchange between a divorced couple in the show. As they navigated their relationship through caring for their pet, the ex-wife told her ex-husband, 'I dedicated my entire life to you.' Nanbaruwan felt a heartbreaking sense of empathy, seeing reflections of their own past in those words.

When considering the realities of financial and emotional stability, living entirely on one's own can be much more daunting than imagined. Nanbaruwan speaks honestly about these struggles, creating a space for listeners to reflect along with them.

The support of those who cheer me on is my strength.
