The Women That Came Before Me

It all begins with a the idea that eggs are the first thing to form in the female fetus during gestation, if this is true, then i existed inside of my grandmother, and if my mother existed inside of her grandmother, was i there too? have i been feeling everything they’ve been feeling for all of eternity? and can i still feel it now? do they owe me an apology? what do I owe them?

if you existed inside your grandmother, and her her grandmother, and her hers, when does is stop? how far back does it go? how much do we directly inherit from our foremothers? how much can i blame them for?

When does is end?
