My Body Keeps Your Secrets mourns the endemic of women and non-binary people losing their peace and internalising continued violence against their bodies. But I felt unequipped to decipher the gut-wrenching feelings of this book.
I messaged my friend the thoughts keeping me awake, “It scares me that you can learn and learn but never know enough to piece it together. But we never had this responsibility before.

It feels like a baseline commitment, but I can’t care about the NGV.
