This book is dedicated to the strange times in life. Sometimes you just need to let the world know of the stories and ideas that haunt your thoughts until you write them down. I'm not shy to write about my own experiences or to tell stories without a happy ending. Some stories have to have bad endings to highlight the moral of a story.

This is for anyone who has ever felt lost in life, and thought they were the only one. The only one not knowing what to do. The only one struggling to choose a path. The only one behind in life. Because I have lost count of the many times I have felt this way in my 20s, only to find that the people around me were feeling the same. Over the past decade, I have lived in seven cities across three continents and changed careers from politics to tech and journalism. Farewell to my 20s is a collection of intimate stories and conversations with friends that offer a window into the different lives I have lived, and what I have learnt along the way: from leaving home to choosing a path and finding the courage to change when your present no longer fulfils you. I hope this book will remind you that being yourself is the most inspiring thing you can do, and that it is never too late to pursue the things you truly want to. Because it always seems impossible, until it's done.
