Imagine that, before entering this life, you stood at the edge of everything you had known.

Not at the edge of a particular place, but somewhere outside the ordinary limits of time, where a lifetime could be seen as a whole rather than as a collection of separate days.

Imagine looking ahead and seeing a life that begins with stability.

A home you know well.

People who know your name.

A family whose presence feels permanent.

Work that gives structure to your days.

Friends you expect to grow old beside.

Money that allows you to make plans without constantly wondering whether those plans are possible.

You do not begin this life expecting to lose these things.

You begin it expecting them to remain.

And perhaps that is important.

Because the life you are about to enter is not a story about someone who never had anything.

It is a story about having everything—and then, over time, watching one certainty after another disappear.

Imagine waking one morning with a life that feels ordinary in the best possible sense.

You know where you are going.

You know who will be there when you return.

You know how the bills will be paid.

You know which friends you can call without needing a reason.

You know which room is yours, which chair you always sit in, which familiar voices will answer when you walk through the door.

Then imagine that life beginning to change.

Not all at once.

First one thing.

Then another.

A loss you cannot prevent.

A door that closes.

A relationship that cannot survive what has happened.

A home that is no longer yours.

A bank balance that slowly becomes a source of fear.

People who once filled your ordinary days becoming distant, unavailable, or gone.

And eventually, perhaps, you reach a point where you can no longer recognise the person you were when this life began.

What would remain if almost everything you had used to define yourself disappeared?

Who would you become if you could no longer introduce yourself through your family, your work, your possessions, your achievements, your friendships or your place in the world?

And what if, in this imagined journey, losing everything was not the end of your life?

What if it became the beginning of another one?

For a little while, set aside whether such a journey could ever be chosen by a soul.

You do not have to believe it. You only have to imagine it.

And now, if you are willing, step into the life where everything you believe you need to be yourself will eventually be taken away.

Then stay long enough to discover what is left.
