Charlotte glances over the app as she sips her coffee. There’s a few matches that she is getting just because she is a cute girl. However she wanted more - genuine connections with people that can broaden her lifestyle and introduce new things in life to her.

As she is strolling through the app, she stumbles upon a noticeable profile that is different from the rest - Sheryl.

Her profile:

Loves self-improvement and hustling

Currently into pilates and cycling

if you’re interested in any of the above, do PM me

Few people are motivated in life from what she has come across so far in her twenty five years of living on this planet. However the profile shows a wide age gap of at least ten years. She hesitates to take the leap of faith but promptly clicks on connect anyway.

Charlotte loves self-improvement and up-skilling herself. She knows that the best investment one can make is in themselves. By constantly improving and reinventing our skills, we will remain fresh and ready for the challenges that lie ahead of our lives. No matter how tough they are, we can face them with confidence if we ourselves become capable.

In particular, what intrigues her interest is Pilates. She has been wanting to join a pilates class for the longest time now. As her work schedule clears up in the coming month, this can be the best opportunity to get some exercise and perhaps even make a new friend. Charlotte breaks into a smile as she texts Sheryl first.

“Hey what’s up! Want to go for pilates sometime?” as the start of their chat conversation. In all this time, Charlotte remain hopeful and cheerful for the future. She never, and I mean never saw what is coming her way. Not in a million years.
