I'm autistic. I've also got CPTSD. As a result, sometimes it can take me months or even YEARS to actually emotionally process things. When this picture was taken, I knew it affected me deeply, but my grandfather was dying, my housing situation was unstable.... I knew the strange emptiness I felt when seeing it was my brain replacing emotions it couldn't yet process, and this photo is one of a few things I've specifically been waiting to finally feel something, ANYTHING, when I see it, because I know it means something to me. And this video unlocked that for me. It finally hit me. For a moment, I wasn't dissociating anymore, and I was finally feeling the little girl screaming in joy and determination, finally seeing for a fact that I COULD do it. I'm finally feeling all thesw wonderful emotions. Thank you for still caring about this photo online for long enough to help me finally process seeing this event with my own eyes in my own lifetime 🥹

Braids and weaving show up in every single culture. That is a daughter looking at her world with the braid her mother taught her, the same braid that almost every little girl on earth has worn on earth

i find it beautiful a braid holds women and girls together. makes me think of katiss and how many little girls started wearing their hair like that to be like her. to feel you’re part of the bravery and personality of a strong woman like them just through a hairstyle

I feel like basically every culture ever has braids. Idk maybe I'm thinking too hard but it, to me, represents that.

This was genuinely THE most beautiful picture I saw all year, not even because it’s in space, but what was most beautiful is how many people felt connected, all because of, one. Single. Braid.

I just don’t know how to put into words how important this picture is to me. In the history of space travel, there aren’t many women and definitely not any women as well known as the men. THIS picture says we exist, we are here, and we are women. It’s just two girls looking at each other: Kristina and Earth

the fact a man is talking about the significance of a simple braid in a photo makes me cry he truly understands how important such a simple thing can be such an impact on girls everywhere
