So much of what we sell to women under the guise of empowerment hinges on the notion that one should have a discrete and legible self. One that you develop alone, and then care for and have confidence in and esteem.
The older I get the more I reject that notion entirely. Each of us is constantly made and unmade by the people we love and the ones we leave, by the communities we inherit and the ones we build.
