I’m not sure. Metaphorically, there’s nothing in my drawers (🙃😬😂) Hard for me to understand what it would be like to experience having an internal sense of gender, let alone construct a metaphor to fit it.

#kidlitart the class is called Writing From (and For) the Heart. It’s less a craft-based class and more a creative reset, reconnecting with your inspiration, sparking new ideas type class.

…Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
