Between Two Worlds
Sometimes the hardest journey is not between places, but between versions of yourself.
I am my grandmother's granddaughter and my daughter's mother. I carry forward ancient songs while learning new technologies. I honor tradition while questioning conventions. Living between worlds means never quite belonging fully to either.
In my grandmother's world, a woman's worth was measured by her ability to keep a family fed and a house running smoothly. In my daughter's world, worth is measured by professional achievements and personal fulfillment. I straddle both, trying to honor each.
