Audre Lorde
I am treacherous with old magic and the noon’s new fury with all your wide futures promised I am woman and not white.
Audre Lorde

Farah Naz Rishi
Who you have feelings for—that is not a choice. Feelings happen whether you want them to or not. But love isn’t a feeling; it’s the act of planting a seed and putting in the time and care it needs to grow. It demands hard work and renewal to survive. It demands commitment. By necessity, it cannot be taken lightly.
Farah Naz Rishi, It All Comes Back to You
