“That was one other time when my whole body reacted to the fear and went out of my own control. My nerves came apart completely, and I started vomiting and vomiting. I couldn't stop.

“الفرق بين اللي حب بجد.. واللي حب الاهتمام بس .. تلات أرباع الجوازات بيبقى عشان بيحبوا الاهتمام.. بيعوض نقص جواهم أو بيخليهم يعيشوا فى موود الحب.. بس اللى هما مش عارفينه .. ان الحب مش تعويض نقص .. الحب اكتمال روح.”

it is where God lives.”
