cold war, 2021

by bevin mirielle

Through all my years of living on this earth, I finally heard what I needed to hear.

I was a child that had been damaged by years of trauma and abuse. There was nothing wrong with me. It was the way that I had been treated by those who were supposed to keep me safe.

I cried so much after that. It spilled out of me all at once and I could no longer hold it in.

I was sitting there in my studio - the studio that used to be an unoccupied room left with mementos of past lives.

After losing almost everything from the pandemic, it was comforting to finally have a space to myself other than my bedroom. I had made it my own.

And I had made it here. Through all of the horrible, nasty, awful shit that happened to me, I made it... and I did it on my own.

For all of the pain I held inside, for all of the tears I tried to hide, for all of the years I was pushed aside, it was art that saved me.

I wish I had more than just a piece of paper growing up, but without it, I wouldn't be where I am today.
