This is me not doing my Spanish paper.

I was always very emotionally torn when I modeled. I knew about the patriarchy and the objectification of women. I did it while I knew it contributed to something I disagreed with because it was a safe space for me. It was one of the few places where I was comfortable being tall. I’ve never been in love with heels but I liked that I could wear them without being questioned. When I modeled, I also felt comfortable having my hair down and wearing make-up. For the majority of my life, I contributed my looks to my sexual assault. Logically, I knew that sexual assault is about power and nothing to do sex but that didn’t change how I felt. Modeling was the only place where I felt comfortable being seen. No one cared that I was wearing make-up, had my hair down or was wearing heels. When I did mixed gendered shows, the men never bothered me or even looked at me. I felt safe there. It helped me become more comfortable with my body. And lastly, it was a part of my process to recovery.
Just waiting for her to get home.
