“Life is not fair,
but
we can choose to be
fair humans
even if life
or other humans
choose to be
unfair
to us.”
― Najwa Zebian, The Nectar of Pain

“My heart aches in
corners
I did not know
existed.”
― Najwa Zebian, The Nectar of Pain

“You were my home
for so long.
Now I realize that humans
cannot
be homes.
If homes can leave,
then they are not
homes.”
― Najwa Zebian, The Nectar of Pain

“I was no longer me. I was in transition between who I was and who I needed to become. And my body couldn’t accept either version of myself, so I just became an empty shell, desperately gasping for any ray of life to inhabit me. I was homeless.”
― Najwa Zebian, Welcome Home: A Guide to Building a Home for Your Soul
