A WHOLE ASS WORD: THE ELECTRIC FEMININE BLOG
Featured
As I grappled with the decision to end my marriage, I found myself ensnared in a web of conflicting emotions. On the surface, our relationship seemed enviable - stable, loving, and devoid of the typical markers of dysfunction that often precede a breakup. #couplegoals was a popular comment on social media under any post about he and I. There were no betrayals, no addiction battles, no bruises hidden beneath long sleeves.

Let's dive into the pages of my own memoir, where the inverted Drowned Man in Tarot feels like a mirror reflecting the struggle of someone who's usually perceived as having it all together. Picture this - a person of stature in the business or social scene, drowning in sorrow, debt, and loss. The suffocating feeling of trying to keep up appearances while facing an internal storm. It hits close to home, doesn't it?
For years, I've felt like I'm drowning, not in water but in stress, anxiety, and this constant battle to meet unrealistic expectations. You know those days when you're submerged in your own pool of ambition, dysfunction, and relentless self-judgment? It's a wild ride, and I've been on it for quite a while.
