Endings and Beginings

Flashback 2005
Fastforward 2016

So much has happened 
So much heartache and tribulations

Navigating a world structural designed to push you away

Having to fight back over and over, and... over
Not out of choice really

But then the non-choice becomes a choice
You turn it into a choice 
Ploughed my way through it all 



Of course my plans were nebulous. I had no plans in fact. All I knew, all I had was a strong internal voice telling me that I needed to detach from that place of belonging, that I needed to leave my 'safety', and that in this way I would somehow build a version of myself that I would be comfortable with. 

In many ways, being a woman outside the box of the cultural expectations meant a confinement that I could only escape by leaving.

My escaping enterprises

And the power of hand sight and one day after the next
Because time writes in itself many more stories (not scripts) that we can even dare to imagine 

But I am not trapped anymore in the 'here and now'

I am past, present and future all at once. Nurturing, circular, inventing and re-inventing

Redemption. Possibilities 

Intertwined stories
