“And I wondered if maybe there is a version of me living back in Syria who still loves the rain; who wears a hijab, speaks Arabic, volunteers with paramedics and spends her time learning to play the piano while her cat purrs in her lap. Perhaps for every Syrian who left the country, there is an alternative version of them resuming the life they had before the war. And as long as those versions of us are still alive, we'll never find peace.”
― Suad Aldarra, I Don't Want to Talk About Home
