Warsan Shire
“The sun is perfect and you woke this morning. You have enough language in your mouth to be understood. You have a name, and someone wants to call it. Five fingers on your hand and someone wants to hold it. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has and will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.”
Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire
“Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.”
Warsan Shire

Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz
“You know, they say that there is a part
of the human chest that it you strike it hard enough,
it makes the person’s heart explode. This sounds like
such a lie that I have to believe it’s the truth. If I were
science, I’d never tell anyone where this place is.
If I were science, I’d have named this place after you.”
Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz

Warsan Shire
“Not everyone is okay with living like an open wound. But the thing about open wounds is that, well, you aren’t ignoring it. You’re healing; the fresh air can get to it. It’s honest. You aren’t hiding who you are. You aren’t rotting. People can give you advice on how to heal without scarring badly. But on the other hand there are some people who’ll feel uncomfortable around you. Some will even point and laugh. But we all have wounds.”
Warsan Shire
