“The universe is a brilliant writer,

it wrote your name
in my stars

before any of us existed

so when the time comes

they’ll light up your path

and lead you straight to me.”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was the Moon

“Be kind for this is something a lot of people can never be.”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was the Moon

“do not worry
about people
they're wearing the same flesh
breathing the same chemicals
walking on the same solid earth as you

so why should it matter
when you are them and they are you”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was the Moon

“Sometimes you are erased before you are given the choice of stating who you are.”
― Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
