“Sometimes, I have so much to say, I don't know where these words come from, or where they go.”
Najaha Nauf, Slow Dancing with The Stars

“How do you console someone who doesn't want to be consoled? Sammy says to do it subtly, but I have never been subtle. If anything, I am obvious: I fill rooms and suffocate people with my presence, skin pressed up on all fall walls until you know nothing but me.”
Najaha Nauf, Slow Dancing with The Stars

“A treacherous cycle of forgetting. Still, when she says, "next time, we'll have more time to hang out", I know she means to say, "I'll continue to miss you far longer than I've known you",”
Najaha Nauf, October Defined: an anthology of verse

“only melancholy has its dedicated following: everyone loves a good sob story every now and then.”
Najaha Nauf, Slow Dancing with The Stars

“How do you console someone who doesn't want to be consoled? Sammy says to do it subtly, but I have never been subtle. If anything, I am obvious: I fill rooms and suffocate people with my presence, skin pressed up on all fall walls until you know nothing but me.”
Najaha Nauf, Slow Dancing with The Stars

“Remember, Tori, not all of us burn. Some of us simply break and rebuild.”
Najaha Nauf, Slow Dancing with The Stars

“Everyone deals with life differently and that's okay. Some of us build, some of us burn. In the end, we are all just trying to survive, aren't we?”
Najaha Nauf, Slow Dancing with The Stars

“I like picking open old wounds just to see if they're still there. Something about pain is more familiar than love has ever been.”
Najaha Nauf, Slow Dancing with The Stars
