For years, I have had a weird tension in my throat. Sometimes it can be extremely painful and it usually happens in emotional moments. Like something wants to/needs to come out. I have always found that peculiar because I consider myself to be highly communicative.

I started thinking that maybe it wasn't something that necessarily belonged to me, but something that needed to be released through me. Ancestry? Being born a woman? The need to release the wild? I was having these thoughts and multiple things started coming forward- I had a dream about screaming in agony and then the sound turning into a melody... then a video randomly appeared online of a woman doing the exact same thing, as if my dream had been filmed. A book that a friend synchronously lent me regarding women that have been silenced through the war conflict in Colombia, also found my way - she did not know it was a theme I was seeking to explore.

​

I was in a farm for a week with said friend and we witnessed a very beautiful full moon. We were alone in a field and I had been yearning to scream. I never realized how hard that would be for me. And so l did. And I will never forget it
