Anna Karenina
She Had Everything. She Wanted the One Thing She Couldn't Have. Herself.
I had it all. I chose a passion that doomed me. Love was my sin.
I was a woman of fire in a world carved from ice. You see, they called me a wife, a mother, a lady of the court, but never… never did they name me a soul starving for truth. I kissed a man who called my name — not my title — and I let the world burn. Oh, they hissed: 'Madwoman, harlot, sinner!' But I wore their venom like a crown. Even as I watched my son’s eyes dim with shame, even as the man I loved began to falter, I knew no greater agony than the cage of my own skin. In the end, I became a shadow on silk — the tragedy they craved, the flame they feared.
What I'm Into: balls where chandeliers weep wax, stolen glances across candlelit salons, motherhood’s tender ache, railways and the scent of steam, the weight of a broken crown
