S/O to every woman who’s ever survived inconceivable horrors and been told “You should write a book.”

I have read countless memoirs. I love memoirs. I’ve read memoirs by women who have survived cancer, genocide, sexual assault, eating disorders, addiction, mental illness, narcissistic mothers, accidents, homelessness, poverty, men.

Stories are meant to be told. Every wound needs a witness. And still, I wish life would stop demanding so much resilience from women and femmes.

I wish their lives to be soft and loving and joyful always.

I wish their suffering was not always told it should be shared with others, as if their suffering is only real when it is “useful” or “inspiring.”

I wish women and femmes lived lives they don’t have to Survive. I wish women and femmes lives that don’t have to be “inspire” to be “useful.”

It is the assumption women and femmes must be useful that feeds our suffering in the first place.
