Life Lessons: Stories and Reflections

thanks for reading

🌿 Welcome to Last Leaf

Hi, I’m Xenia— artist, writer, and someone who’s been learning (and unlearning) through life’s beautiful and some not so beautiful twists and detours.

Last Leaf is a space for anyone who’s lived enough to know that change isn’t just possible — it’s inevitable. Here, I share reflections, everyday stories, creative sparks, and quiet truths from this season of life: post-career shifts, grief, rediscovery, and healing. Sometimes funny, sometimes raw, always real.

This blog is for you if:

  • You’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond and asking, “What now?”
  • You appreciate honest writing that feels like a conversation over coffee.
  • You believe in starting over — even if it’s just with a paintbrush, a garden bed, or a deep breath.

You’re not too late. You’re not too broken. You’re just in a new chapter — and I’m so glad you’re here.

🕊️ Let’s grow something honest together.
