“It’s a different type of pain, to see your homeland, once covered with olive and lemon trees, lush, fruitful pastures and the remnants of ancient, beautiful humanity, reduced to rubble, populated by camps and tents.”
― Plestia Alaqad, The Eyes of Gaza: A Diary of Resilience

“You know what always inspires me? The spirit of Palestinians. How after every loss, you only find us stronger and trying even harder to live and love life.”

“It’s messy to love after heartbreak. It’s painful and it forces you to be honest with yourself about who you are. You have to work harder to find the words for your feelings, because they don’t fit into any prefabricated boxes.

But it’s worth it.

Because look what you get:

Great loves.

Meaningful loves.

True loves.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, One True Loves
