"I’m always soft for you, that’s the problem. You could come knocking on my door five years from now..."

“I’m always soft for you, that’s the problem. You could come knocking on my door five years from now and I would open my arms wider and say ‘come here, it’s been too long, it felt like home with you.”

how did people begin coming across your work before you had a significant following? is patient consistency the key?

I don’t really know, I didn’t anticipate how big this would become. I think part of it is consistency and part of it is also writing the sort of thing that people want to read and share. I know that’s somewhat cynical but people like things they identify with and when I started that’s what I was writing. I also believe part of it was just who I was, a Muslim girl writing about love and sex and that was new and exciting I guess.

no offense like... not to start any drama but... im reading shaking the trees again and it still fucks me up like honestly how dare you? pls fight me.

GO ON FIGHT ME ANITA i’m here waiting also i love you

would like everyone to come over and feel how soft my legs are

I can't get the desire to tattoo your words "I've stopped being sorry for all my soft." tattooed. Because I'm soft and I'm considerate and tender and I'm proud. Would you mind if I did?

No it would make me so happy!!!!

"When you’re an artist, nobody ever tells you or hits you with the magic wand of legitimacy. You have..."

“When you’re an artist, nobody ever tells you or hits you with the magic wand of legitimacy. You have to hit your own head with your own handmade wand. And you feel stupid doing it. There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label…[but] it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.”
