“Nobody asked me to be inspirational. They handed me a meal, a phone number, a way through. That was the first time I believed I could keep going.”

The Holding-Everything-Together Season

“I am the one everyone leans on. I did not know I was allowed to be held, too, until a small circle of women showed me what that actually felt like.”

, Anonymous, the steady one

“On paper, my life looked right. From the inside, it had started to cost too much. Coming home to myself was harder, and quieter, than I expected. It is also the truest thing I have done.”
