My Brains Not Broken

When it comes to marking moments and memories in my life, I tend to reflect whenever a significant marker comes around. I think about what the world was like in that moment being marked and how I fit into that specific moment. Sometimes I pick and choose what to reflect on, which is what happened last week.

"As women, we are expected not just to be strong in ourselves, but to be strong for others." [Image copyright IWD ]. Progress and empowerment. Only the most cynical would say we have made little progress towards a more equal, open and understanding society.
