Tradwife Dilemma
I always understood feminism to mean supporting women's right to make their own choices, whether that means pursuing a corporate career or choosing a life centered on marriage and raising children. From what I've observed, women are rarely criticized for having careers, but they are often judged for choosing to be homemakers.

The Found Daughter. Honorable Mention in I Resign From… Challenge.
Dear Biological Family, I don’t know how it happened, but you left me. I was left alone, in the middle of the street, with nothing on but underwear, at the age of four. I was lost in New Delhi, India. I was found by the police and taken to the orphanage. Luckily, I was adopted less than a year later and grew up in America. I lived a very privileged life. I had two parents who loved me and wanted me as their daughter. I had a sister who was also adopted. I had a lot of friends growing up. I was fortunate enough to have an education. I participated in gymnastics, ballet, and rock climbing. I also played the clarinet and piano. I went to college, and I met my husband. We have a beautiful son together.

Motherhood. Runner-Up in The Metamorphosis of the Mind Challenge.
I met my boyfriend (now husband) in September 2018 on the dating app OkCupid. We hit it off right away and dated for six months before I found out I was pregnant. I had never considered having biological children before, so I was excited to find out we were having a baby together.

The Day the Toaster Declared War
The Day the Toaster Declared War May Caterina’s morning routine was sacred: wake up at 6:45 a.m., shuffle to the kitchen in her fuzzy slippers, and put two slices of bread into her ancient toaster. She’d hum off-key to a song she didn’t know while the coils glowed, delivering perfectly bronzed toast.
