A short story I wrote for the #MyHandmaidsTale Contest. I wanted to write something simply because I wanted to contribute, more than anything. Like millions of others the story resonates with me in so many ways and that led me to writing this story. I hope you enjoy it.

"Mimosa flower is a symbol of femininity and womanhood, as well as motherhood and caring for others." Change comes in all levels, capacities, and for all reasons. The world is constantly changing to meet the growing needs for society. This collection of short stories is written for the women of this world. The young and the old. The ones are just born into the world and have no idea what is going to happen. To the ones who are of elderly age and have experienced everything that was meant for them. The ones who have had their hearts broken by women and men, friendships built and broken, and the ones who remain to themselves because it is safer that way. There is refuge in these stories. These words sing of the stories of the women around the world who are silent and trying to conform to the needs of society. The words light the loneliness that women face while moving through the different spaces of the world. If you have the chance to find a safe place within the pages of this collection, find peace in knowing that this was meant for you during this time and during this journey you are on. While you may remain quiet and reserved through your struggles, know there are women who will be thunderous for you. Women who you have never met who will remain by your side because they have walked in your shoes. The following collection of stories details the different struggles that women during this world do face. Each story is written to illuminate different desperations within a woman's life. The silent struggles of women who are going against the odds of the world and of themselves. Who needs a sanctuary within words. These stories are for you. This is your subtle reminder that you can be whoever you want to be in this world. You can either choose to sit and be still or rise up to the occasion of who you truly are. There is no relation between the women within the collection. In fact, their stories are theirs alone.
