“Paradise: If communism is Paradise, why do we need barriers, walls, and laws to keep people from escaping?”
― Ruta Sepetys, I Must Betray You

“I was going to say the
words that could have
made a difference but
then I saw you
You were least interested
to know
You didn’t even bother to
see the truth in my eyes
I had to leave darling I
had to
I had no intention to end
things like this
But this was written
It was in our fate
They say, “When you end
up remember there’s a
new beginning waiting
for you somewhere”
I’ll look for that new
beginning
To search for a new
commencing
With a promise that this
time
I won’t look backward.”
― Hareem Ch, Another World

“Listen to presences inside poems.
Let them take you where they will.
Follow those private hints,
and never leave the premises.”
― Rumi, A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings

“Are you happy?” “In all honesty? No. But I am curious – I am curious in my sadness, and I am curious in my joy. I am everseeking, everfeeling. I am in awe of the beautiful moments life gives us, and I am in awe of the difficult ones. I am transfixed by grief, by growth. It is all so stunning, so rich, and I will never convince myself that I cannot be somber, cannot be hurt, cannot be overjoyed. I want to feel it all – I don’t want to cover it up or numb it. So no, I am not happy. I am open, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
― Bianca Sparacino, Seeds Planted in Concrete
