Being women

For all the women who raised me: while you felt you were not enough, you were the skeleton of everything that mattered.

Being women

Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde

To Sabrina Rodrigues.

By listening to Tära, an algorithm-suggested singer, I felt delighted and intrigued by her dance, aesthetic, style, and voice. Knowing the song "Mezzaluna" is about longing and loss — mainly caused by conflicts — made me think she was singing about missing her sister, who for me is the person I miss the most since living far from my home country.

​And so, whom I dedicate this text to.

​Being women

​We never know what it really means,

naturally and nurturally made to be,

here we are!

Meticulous tiny space positioned in this world,

we always choose to be there for those whose hearts we have crossed paths with, eternally or momentarily.

For you, in eternity, my heart will always beat.

From listening to aunt's candlelit stories to life crises and moments,

​deepest in my soul,

I know...

I will never feel or ever be completely fulfilled without you by my side.

Being so far apart shows me how important you are.

So I beg,

Think of those women who have been there for you constantly and you haven't paid attention to.

  • The end.
