‘a pearl is born when a mollusc protects its soft body from an irritating trapped piece of debris by wrapping it in thousands of smooth, shiny layers of mother-of-pearl over several years.’

perhaps our feelings are formed in the same way. which is why the many emotional experiences of women later become the ‘pearls of wisdom’ they live and wear everyday.

for generations, women's emotional lives have often been dismissed with a single word: emotional.

but what if emotional depth isn't a flaw? what if it's where wisdom begins?

-

the feeling library is a collection of ‘pearls’ - curated from wisdom, advice and thoughts shared by women across the world.

every pearl in this library began as someone's lived experience.

the feeling library is a safe space for you and your feelings.

we hope you'll return whenever you need a pearl, or whenever you have one to leave behind.

please take a pearl or leave one behind
