“I didn’t know. I feel sometimes like…there are all these rules. Just to be a person. You know? You’re supposed to carry a shoulder bag, not a backpack. You’re supposed to wear headbands, or you’re not supposed to wear headbands. It’s okay to describe yourself as likeable, but it’s not okay to describe yourself as eloquent. You can sit in the front of the school bus, but you can’t sit in the middle. You’re not supposed to be with a boy, even when he wants you to. I didn’t know that. There are so many rules, and they don’t make any sense, and I just can’t learn them all”
― Leila Sales, This Song Will Save Your Life

“وتصبح أنت بطلاً لحلمى
وأكمل معك يومى
وهناك أخبرك عما يجول برأسى
لعلك تفهمنى
وأُُكثِر من تساؤلاتى لك حتى يطمئن قلبى
لكن حتماً يأتى الصباح وأفيق من نومى
وأنظر إلى وسادتى وأتوسلها بأن تصون وترعى صورتك
وأودعك حتى المساء نلتقى”
― أسماء بركة, خربشات مسائية

“Tell me,
what is it you plan to do
with your one
wild and precious life?”
― Mary Oliver
