Mrs zu Lin was on her way to the counselor's office. she had lived with the stigma almost all her life , but today , she had decided to let it all out, she had to confide in someone . she had continued to build a wall around herself to avoid questions about her life. she even had to relocate . But today she had decided to break those walls and set herself free . this was her first session with the counsellor and she had high hopes that with further meetings she would be able to let go of her past .

She was ushered into the counsellor's office by his secretary who seemed to be smiling at almost everything which made Mrs zu Lin think back on her predicament . she couldn't remember when last she was smiled that much.

"Mrs zu Lin, how are you feeling today."
