“يارب
ياللي سايبلي الحبل ع الغارب
أنا غرقان بدون قارب
ومعرفتش أعوم وحدي
وكل ما امدلك يدي
وتنشلني
وأعوم شبرين
إديا يفلفصوا الاتنين
وأقولك سيبلي انا الباقي
تسيبلي الحبل ع الغارب
تخش المية حلقي .. اشرق
فاصرخلك .. وأقول بغرق
وأقولك عمري ما حسيبك
فتنشلني
أعوم شبرين
إديا يفلفصوا الاتنين
وأسيب إيدك
وأعيد الكرّه ميت مره
وماتخذلنيش ولا مره
تقوللي حضنهم بره
لا عمره يساع دراع سيدك
ونا لسه
بسيب إيدك !”

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“I missed you so much," she breathed.
I tilted my head back and put my hands on her shoulders. I could hardly believe this was happening. I was finally getting to touch her. To kiss her. It was all happening. "I missed you, too.”
― Kieran Scott, He's So Not Worth It

“How can I begin to tell you how much I miss you without using those three common words that can't even start to express the magnitude nor the depth of my emotions. How can I write in my own blood while wanting to revert its color. The color of blood is similar to "I miss you". It has been raped by writers and lovers constantly, ever since Cain and Abel. I want to be able to create a new alphabet that can simply stand in front of you without bowing. I want to use new metaphors that would erupt like volcanoes between the phrases of my readers' souls. Metaphors such as your absence is similar to eating salt straight from the shaker while thirst is devouring my tongue. Metaphors such as the lack of your presence is like being straddled behind the glass of my own senses.”
― Malak El Halabi

― Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

“If fate doesn't make you laugh, you just don't get the joke.”

“There's little in taking or giving
There's little in water or wine
This living, this living , this living
was never a project of mine.
Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
the gain of the one at the top
for art is a form of catharsis
and love is a permanent flop
and work is the province of cattle
and rest's for a clam in a shell
so I'm thinking of throwing the battle
would you kindly direct me to hell?”
― Dorothy Parker
