    “A Journey through Life” Life is all about choices. Even the simplest choice could turn a situation around and further affect the future of an individual forever.

It deals with different levels of choices‚ some which might affect the character’s life slightly‚ while other choices may affect their entire lifetime. The way the story is written makes the reader think a lot about the events

She has transformed herself IMO when it comes to adagio movement
