Listen to The Drake Passage episode one
Before I leave, I embark on a journey to collect the knowledge I lack about my own age through the stories of my closest friends, told in their own words. These are stories of growth, dedication, ambition and relationships – each a window to my past I can always turn to, as I begin a new chapter of my life in a city I’ve only been to once before. Am I ready to jump from the comfort of hard ground straight into the dark blue sea of life’s unpredictability?
Nora has been my friend the longest. We are a year apart and our interests lay so far on the opposite poles, one would even wonder if there’s anything we could talk about. Truth is, I wonder that myself sometimes.
We’ve known each other since our mid-teens, and throughout all this time we’ve changed more than once, but our mutual feelings have stayed the same.
Healing is a long process that takes effort and patience. Seeing Nora navigate through her own growth taught me that trauma does not define me, but no matter how far I go in my process, it still lingers around old scars.
