Life – from the perspective of a feisty middle-aged woman.
I used to think everyone understood why patriarchy doesn’t work. Surely it’s obvious that elevating one side while silencing the other always leads to resentment and, eventually, collapse. But then I stumbled across a man who presents himself as spiritual and wise, and I realised, not everyone really gets it.
Society warns that being single later in life must be lonely or miserable, but my experience tells a different story. Being single and not young anymore doesn’t have to be tragic. In fact, it can be the stage where you finally live by your own rules, pursue your own meaning, and experience joy that is entirely your own: steady, quiet, and deeply satisfying.
