This felt like a reckoning I didn’t know I needed Melanie.
The line that stayed with me:
“We may never be entirely ourselves, as we are under incredible influence in society to be this and buy that.”
As someone who once traded writing for metrics—who let silence grow between myself and the page—this piece met me where I am. And reminded me where I come from.
Thank you for writing toward what’s been lost. And what might still be reclaimed.
