I am a Matryoshka doll. I carry many different versions of myself around, each making appearances now and then. I don’t even realize when I transform until I begin to avoid things to protect whichever stage I’m in. Right now I am big, good at deflecting and putting on a smile with my mascara. The small one that’s weaker; scared is deep inside. Safe.
