In her introspective piece, Würfel draws parallels between her life experiences and the reflections of German novelist Christa Wolf, emphasizing the challenges and uncertainties that accompany significant life changes. As she navigates the transition from her 30s to 40s, Würfel confronts societal expectations of adulthood while finding solace in her current state of being ‘in-between,’ a space that allows for multifaceted perspectives and personal growth. Ultimately, she asserts that this transitional phase is not a failure, but rather a legitimate and enriching aspect of life.
