Women’s Day
Happy Women’s DayOkay, let’s just say it plain:There always seems to be somewhat of pain in our monthly bodies— whether we’re going through menopause, ovulating, when our boobs are sore, or our hormones cannot decide whether to make us laugh or cry.When we need to skip the gym because we are in pain, or when […]
Us And Them
This is a war between democracy and tyranny This is a war between strength and weakness This is a war between good and evil All night we cry And all day we ask What are all these lies? And why must we be colonised? Our voices, they are being heard Yet the sound has been […]
What’s The Difference
What’s the difference? We spend 3 minutes zooming in and out of a women’s curves, to only be directed by our thumb and index finger towards her face; analysing, criticising, romanticising.

You Vs Me
