She is less self-aware and more prone to examine and critique the problems of others. She thrives in chaos, but she is also regretful of using hastiness to solve her problems. She hasn’t learned the art of problem-solving because she struggles to realize that she is her own problem.

In a world of marriage and infidelity, shacking with the hopes of marriage, striving for improvement, and scratching to make a life for herself, the main character has serious decisions to consider if she is going to make any contribution to the world and people surrounding her, despite her many strained relationships.
