I Like To Hide Behind

I Had Never Held A Baby In My Life. I Was One Of Those Women - People Would Say, "do You Want To Hold My Baby?" And I Was Like "no ... "

I Think What Children Can Handle And What They're Interested In Is Much Deeper Than People Assume. It's Why Sometimes We Make Things Too Simple For Them.

It Is Not Enough To Defend Our Values At Home, In Our Newspapers And In Our Institutions. We Also Have To Defend Them In The Refugee Camps Of The Middle East, And The Ruined Ghost Towns Of Syria.

It Makes Me Feel Like A Woman. It Makes Me Feel That All The Things About My Body Are Suddenly There For A Reason. It Makes You Feel Round And Supple, And To Have A Little Life Inside You Is Amazing.

I Went Through What I Imagine Thousands Of Other Women Have Felt. I Told Myself To Stay Calm, To Be Strong, And That I Had No Reason To Think I Wouldn't Live To See My Children Grow Up And To Meet My Grandchildren.
