  9. It's quite the thunderstorm here. Cats are a little upset.

    I should have taken out trash and compost earlier today. Let's hope the rain stops before I go to bed.

    The archives remember kings
    because kings built the archives

    our names survived in fragments
    stitched into the hems of uniforms
    pressed into recipe books
    buried inside letters no historian thought to unfold carefully

    they called us muses
    wives
    witches
    madwomen
    assistants

    anything but architects

    for centuries they edited us down
    cut us from photographs
    quoted our work without saying our names
    turned our bodies into evidence
    our anger into diagnosis
    our exhaustion into character flaws

    they built entire institutions
    out of the belief
    that we would stay grateful for the corners

    but something is changing now

    you can feel it in the classrooms
    in the courtrooms
    in group chats that turn into movements before dawn
    in daughters who no longer apologise before speaking
    in women comparing notes
    and suddenly realising the pain was never personal

    we are recovering each other
    like lost cities beneath water

    there is fury in it
    but also tenderness

    the kind born when someone says
    I thought I was alone in this

    and another voice answers
    you were never alone
    they just worked very hard to keep us separate

    now the old language is cracking

    the words that kept us small
    hysterical
    difficult
    too emotional
    too ambitious
    too loud

    they no longer fit properly

    we are outgrowing them

    there are women alive right now
    learning to take up space without apology
    without shrinking their brilliance
    without softening their edges into something more acceptable

    women rebuilding themselves from the historical record outward

    women who understand that survival was never the final goal

    we did not endure centuries merely to remain decorative

    we are returning to ourselves

    not quietly
    not perfectly
    not all at once

    but together

    and that changes everything
