The author, who has lived abroad since 2018 and traveled through ten countries, finds newfound perspective after a conversation with her 70-year-old father regarding his end-of-life wishes. Despite having built a fulfilling child-free life, she realizes that her solitary lifestyle may leave her isolated when her father passes away. She's now contemplating the importance of establishing deeper roots and creating a community, shifting her focus from freedom to connection as she reimagines her future.
I've lived abroad since 2018, traveling solo through 10 countries with an overstuffed backpack and a duffel bag of prized possessions.
When he's gone, I won't just grieve him. I'll be facing the full weight of being alone in the life I happily created.
