part one: the battle beneath
one: the storythe battle beneath series // one of sevenMy favorite holiday growing up was Christmas.
Every year we went to my grandparents’ house and celebrated Christmas. We had dinner, there was a tree and we unwrapped gifts. Sometimes mom would convince grandpa to play the Handel’s Messiah on the record player and we'd all listen and sing and crack at the high notes.

The battle Beneath series // two of seven
When I was little, I was in gymnastics. I wore a short sleeve shirt underneath the leotard and shorts on top of it. When I was seven, my mom made me a gymnastics suite that was long sleeved with pants that had elastic at the ankles and wrists. I wore a scarf that day. It was the summer I was "practicing" wearing the scarf / hijab. Even at a young age, decision-making in my life had stages and trials. I worked through how wearing a scarf would be.
