FEMME PUISSANTES

Page 1

It is about the unraveling life of a woman who sees her life crumbling before her eyes and is helpless to stop it. She tries to focus on moving her life forward, but is unable to forget the damage that she has created within herself. She is unable to stop her deterioration, due to the entrapment within her own mind. The life she sees in front of her was gradually coming to a halt.

She resolved not to look back, but to keep going ahead. For awhile she was unsuccessful in not looking back on the havoc that was created. But soon she discovered that trying to forget her past instead of confronting them might be the wisest decision.

What emerged out of her was a much stronger, powerful and independent woman, who has her own ways in life and is no more haunted by her past. She raised from the ashes of her own burnt soul and now is capable of puting the world on fire !
