I am a woman. That’s my biggest tragedy. I am a woman in this society. And that’s my horrible experience. That’s my terrible reality. I often tell myself that if you want to survive in the outside world, you must grow out of your casing. A caterpillar has to find a way out of its shell to be a butterfly, to be able to fly, to be able to show the world the beauty of its wings and the essence of its existence. And to be able to do so, one must acknowledge the presence of a shell around.
