They wrote girl in the centre of the page. Word connotations tranfusing into veins of ink. Pretty synonyms { eyelashes, flowers, cherries, collarbones} lilting with virtue. A marriage between dainty and fragility. A wink of buttery pastries & flushed cheeks. Why the hell did it take so long to put strong brilliant { sun & stars } w-o-m-a-n {equals} ?

This was a true realisation for me. I was trying to draw a map of synonyms for the word 'girl'. Perhaps I was too sleepy, frustratingly,I thought of the most fragile things associated with the word. We can be all things sweet, but we can also be strong. Regardless of gender. Yes, I mean, you. x
