Simone’s Inspiration

Thanks to @stephAuthorial on X for the great question: “Simone sounds like such a deeply layered character, her journey from pain to seeking connection sounds so powerful. What inspired you to explore her emotional transformation in this story?”

Quotes by Aimee Meheden-Friesen (?)

“Wealth and prestige may be sought after by most, but it is those who have too much of them who realise just what a curse privilege can be.”

“Loneliness doesn't vanish overnight. But it softens when someone remembers how you take your coffee. When someone saves you the last slice of bread. When someone listens — not to fix, but to understand.”
― Aimee Meheden-Friesen

Sometimes, all it takes is the shock of disruption—a new place, a new challenge, or even a simple, shared task — to crack the shell of numb routine and let purpose seep back in. Meaning, after all, rarely arrives neatly packaged or clearly labelled; more often, it creeps in on muddy boots, disguised as sweat-streaked work or the unexpected laughter of companions.”

“There’s nothing wrong with my life. It’s just that there’s nothing right with it either. The same goes for the glass. It is neither empty nor full. People look at things the wrong way. I could fill the glass to the brim with champagne, but it wouldn’t bring me any more satisfaction on a hot day than if the glass was half full of water. It is not the quantity but the substance that matters.”
