Girlhood is a spectrum. It varies between A wounded baby animal and An amalgamation of all the worst parts of her father. It’s not application tampons shiny rivers makeup desk lotion, pushing over bottles, warm apples, bent backs, no carbs, sugary ankles bitter-salty lingering bath drops, hot, foam-dreamy Growing a parent to protect my inner baby Growing a womb to warm the fetus Growing a wound to wound forever. Forever girlhood girls forever.
