“Sometimes I think that if I keep walking, I will find some light, but I know that I can walk to the other side of the world and there will still be darkness. It’s not like the darkness of the night, which also has white light from the stars, from the moon. This darkness is inside me and has nothing to do with the outside world.”
― Christy Lefteri, The Beekeeper of Aleppo

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“The greatest magic you have is the courage you go digging for, when your world falls apart, the light you still hold, when everything has grown dark.”
― Nikita Gill, Wild Embers

“Everything that terrifies you
these monsters
that keeps you up at night
that torment you
that make you feel small
breakable
unable to breathe
like you should not
exist at all,
you defeat them everyday
just by being alive,
this on its own
proves that you are
enough,
and you already have
everything you need
to survive.”
― Nikita Gill, Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Fire and Beauty
