This is so beautifully eloquently and painfully expressed. It’s also how I feel pretty much every single day in this country. In fact, I wrote about something similar yesterday on my blog here. It is absolutely exhausting to live as a woman in this country, which is why I am leaving this country by the end of the year. I do not want to be here for the 2024 election’s, as I feel more violence will occur. Thank you so very much for writing this for us ❤️
