>, Nastashia Minto honors the process of sitting with, in, and around the trauma imprinted in her body. Through poetry, song, and story, she detangles herself from skewed self-perceptions and tears apart old defense mechanisms that no longer serve her. In their place, she weaves a new tapestry of understanding, love, and openness to change. Her writing is a reminder that sitting in the discomfort of the past allows us to bask in the comfort of making it through.
