Too Jody

georgia okeeffe

doesn't she epitomize the definition

of a strong woman?

 

i have always admired strong women.

from my early teens through adulthood

i chose my aunt edith as my role model.

she lived the most interesting life and i

wanted to be just like her. my family all

had a different opinion of her...she was

just... "too edith"

 

most everyone in my family has told me at 

one time or another that i remind them of her.

 i'm not sure they always mean that as a 

compliment ...but i choose to take it that way. 

i try to be a strong woman

but inside...

i'm a lost little girl seeking

love and approval

 

i wear the mask of a strong woman

i have days when i can pull off

that persona exceptionally well

today is not one of them....
