At 58, I’ve found a rhythm to life that suits me perfectly. As a single mom of two grown daughters, I’ve done my part in raising them, and now, with the nest empty, I’m embracing a life that’s all mine. My daughters, both settled in their careers and relationships, often tease me about my adventurous spirit, but they know it’s who I’ve always been—a free soul, never content to sit still for too long.
I’ve always loved to travel, and now that I have the time and freedom, I’m making the most of it. I’ve visited cities I’d only dreamed of before—Paris, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro—and each one has left a mark on my heart. There’s something intoxicating about exploring new places, tasting exotic foods, and immersing myself in different cultures. But it’s not just the sightseeing that thrills me; it’s the nightlife, the pulse of a city after dark that truly makes me feel alive.
There’s a certain magic to walking into a club in a foreign city, dressed in my favorite little black dress, with a confidence that only comes from experience. The music is always different, the languages around me unfamiliar, but the energy is the same—electric, full of possibility. I’ve danced in clubs from Ibiza to New York, losing myself in the music, feeling the beat resonate through my body like a heartbeat.
People often wonder if I’m lonely, living alone and spending so much time on the road. But the truth is, I’ve never felt more content. My life is full—full of adventure, full of laughter, full of moments that take my breath away. I’ve met incredible people along the way, some of whom have become lifelong friends, others just fleeting encounters that added a spark to my journey.
My daughters worry about me sometimes, but they also admire my zest for life. They’ve seen how much joy I get from my travels, from the freedom to go wherever I please, whenever the mood strikes. I’ve worked hard to get to this point, to be able to live on my own terms, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
There are still so many places I want to see, so many nights I want to dance away under the stars. I’m not slowing down anytime soon. This is my time—time to live, to explore, to dance through life with a smile on my face and the world at my feet.
