Even the word 'alone' felt distant, because being alone implies there are people to be alone from. Being here felt like being a in a vacuum trapped within a shadow of the darkness. Its depth infinite, and the only thing that didn't fade into nothingness was my art, and my attempt to encourage other women to use their voice by sharing mine.
Entering into adulthood as a woman had its challenges.
After becoming aware of how much of my identity was rooted in what society expected of me, I was able to see the reality for so many women. I am forever grateful that my eyes were opened to my limiting subconscious beliefs around being a woman in the world we live in; But before I rose to that power, I had to face the darkness that had made a home in me. It was the realization that I am just one in millions, if not billions, of women who experience this same internal prison that made finding my way through that darkness feel the most difficult.
