“like the anger of fire
shapes metal
like the sorrow of a writer
creates poetry
everything that is beautiful
doesn't always start beautifully”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was The Moon

“Why, when men hate themselves, it’s women who take the beatings.”
― Lindy West, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman

“the most beautiful thing in this world isn’t made up of particles. it’s the strength of a person who has seen the collapse of their world, everything they held dear crashing down in a million pieces. yet every morning, they wake up and build their life, all over again. mourning their loss in a tranquil silence. i haven’t yet seen anything more astonishingly beautiful.”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was the Moon

“do not worry
about people
they're wearing the same flesh
breathing the same chemicals
walking on the same solid earth as you

so why should it matter
when you are them and they are you”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was the Moon
