“I’m grateful that, after an early life of being silenced, sometimes violently, I grew up to have a voice, circumstances that will always bind me to the rights of the voiceless.” Rebecca Solnit
She felt voiceless,
shut down,
cut down,
weighed down,
yet she had an inner strength,
something deep,
and she drew it forth,
and set off,
in her own true way.

I am super silent. I sometimes feel like my voice doesn’t matter, but I am learning to speak up!

This really resonated with me. I was once like that. Voiceless but I found my strength finally.
