When we were two, we were no longer babies-we were becoming little girls. And when we were thirteen, we were leaving childhood behind, becoming young women. But somewhere along the way, we stopped becoming. We became -un-women.- Wallflowers who are just breathing and smiling and blending in to stay out of the way.
