My name is Venus. At the age of 30, I find myself standing alone on the sun-kissed streets of Senegal, a place where marriage appears as the ultimate destination, the much-awaited stamp of social validation. Little did I know, in this universal quest, that the path would wind its way through illusions and unexpected surprises. Join me as I recount the tale of my pursuit of love, only to realize that the true adventure lay in the exploration of self, navigating through disappointments, heartbreaks, and the unforeseen twists of fate. In this chronicle, accompany me through life's intricate tapestry, where each trial metamorphoses into a valuable lesson, every choice molds my destiny, and each encounter casts a luminous hue on a new chapter of my journey.
