Savage Sage

Who is Savage Sage? Where did she come from? Is she a super heroine? Does she fight injustice? Is she a part of my imagination? Perhaps she's one of my many personalities.

Savage Sage came from middle school when I was at my most disempowered. Between my childish confidence and my womanly empowerment. The butt of most jokes between my classmates and at times teachers. (One history professor called me a feminazi, I have not idea where it came from or what it meant at the time.) So I would and at times still do imagine a stronger, braver, more kick ass version of myself conquering the world.

Savage Sage says what i would say if my brain hadn't froze or my job wasn't on the line or feelings couldn't be hurt or compromise wasn't a necessary evil or whatever. Savage Sage is who i am when i'm yelling at the tv, in my car, or at my walls about the bullshit we swim in. She is a part of me, myself at my purest, when I'm the most hurt, angry, fearless, fearful, irritated, etc. She is powerful and she is weakness. Hopefully she's also interesting to read.
