‘’Since that night, I’ve felt some relief, but it feels like my heart hasn’t completely cooled down. I don’t get it, my anger just sits inside me like a ball, as if it’s frozen. It’s cold now.

I tell myself, ‘Shut up, girl.’ I don’t know, if I’m a woman, my mind must be a woman too, that’s why I say it like that. A woman with eyes wide open, sharp as a razor.’’
