What do you hope women take away from your story?
I want for them not to believe the facade of a happy and wholesome life just by observing from the outside. For them not to envy. You want the greener grass? Better have the stomach for the amount of manure it comes with.

It's important for women to have these conversations because social media has unearthed phoney and pretentious behaviours. We need to talk about real lives and daily struggles behind our smartphones.
