Her existence seemed pointless.

Her life had been disappointing.
She never achieved her dreams.

Her love life had been a disaster.
None of her relationships worked out.

Her mind was in tatters.
She felt like ending her existence.

Until a hungry, stray cat
clawed at her door begging for food.

She took the cat in,
fed it and cared for it.

And she felt the cat
was like the start of a new life.

Inspired by how much
she liked having saved the cat,

She got a job at an animal shelter
and loved working as a caregiver for animals.

And found fulfillment in her work
and in her life.
