The Archetype I Borrow From—a woman with claws (metaphorically… mostly)

I’ve always related to Catwoman — she’s the patron saint of elegant danger, controlled chaos, and women who refuse to apologize for having claws. There’s something about her ability to move through the world with equal parts grace and grit that feels… familiar. She’s complicated in the way real women are complicated: soft when she chooses, sharp when she must.

That said, we’d have to negotiate her diet. I don’t like milk. Or mice. So clearly some adjustments would need to be made. But the spirit of her? The autonomy, the edge, the refusal to be tamed — that part fits just fine.

Cover image is a photo of me, put into Jetpack, “imagined” as Catwoman : )

If this spoke to you, be sure to “like” and share it over social with someone who’d appreciate the flavor …
