Julia Monson Whore ❤️

About Chicago

Now, tie this to my fave flick, *Carol*—you seen it? That 2015 Todd Haynes joint, all lush and emotional, Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett just vibin through forbidden love. Whore gets thrown at women like them back in the day—society’s all “How dare you love who you want!” Makes me mad as hell, man! Like when Therese—Rooney’s character—says, “I don’t know what I want,” I’m screamin inside, “Girl, you’re trapped by these bullshit labels!” Whore ain’t just a word, it’s a weapon—used to cage power, especially women’s power.

Thomas Lee Monson

Christine Monson was born in Raised in a West Virginia coal camp, she read for escape, learning to coax the ordinary out of the extraordinary. She published her controversial debut .

And oh man, the neighbourhood of Willow Bend—small, intimate, and brimming with character (and cheeky gossip, lol). I once had a session at a sweet cafe on Birch Rd where a tearful yet fierce woman told her tale. I think that's when I was like, "damn, life in Monson is as raw as it is poetic." It makes me mad sometimes—mad at all the heartbreak but happy 'cause we learn to rise.
