Clarissa is a self-confessed world-empress aspirant. She also likes writing and ice cream. Recently, she saw her life and career veering dangerously away from her life-ambition towards the less exciting realms of account management.

She has since found her way back to the capital but life has
continued to be a rollercoaster: it is the only way to be.
