“I live there...

where the birds are infinite
everywhere

where they flee
it's a place your eyes can wander
but never see

Where everyone accepts me,
Without any pretense

It's a place your mind can picture
but never really comprehend.”
― Sanober Khan, A touch, a tear, a tempest

“مَنْ لا تكون بلاده له وطنًا ، فكُل بلاد الدنيا ليست له وطنًا ، أترى هذه الحرب التي تجري الآن ، إنها تُدمّر كل شيء ، كي تقول لك ولأبناء غزة ارحلوا ، فإن رحلتَ فلقد هُزمت ، وأعدائك قد انتصروا .”
― صابر عليان

“أنت أقوى مما تدعين ، أكثر صلابة مما تظهرين .. فبرغم نعومتك ورقتك وسهولة خدشك إلا أنك فتاة شامخة ..قوية..ذات جذور عميقة وعتيقة ، وفتاة أصيلة ،تزأر حينما تهان .. وتكبر حينما يحاول كائن من كان تحجميها أو تهميشها”
― أثير عبدالله النشمي, فلتغفري

“You would think a person could only die once. You would think you would only find you sister's lifeless body once. You would think you would only have to watch your mother's reaction once after finding out her only daughter is dead.
Once is so far from accurate.
It happens repeatedly.
Every single time I close my eyes I see Les's eyes. Every time my mother looks at me, she's watching me tell her that her daughter is dead for the second time. For the third time. For the thousandth time. Every time I take a breath or blink or speak, I experience her death all over again. I don't sit here and wonder if the fact that she's dead will ever sink in. I sit here and wonder when I'll stop having to watch her die.”
― Colleen Hoover, Losing Hope
