“I was born into it. I was born a few months before Nakba…it was already my reality”. ❤️‍🩹

I’m rooted, transfixed- my heart is in a fist, clenching and unclenching ❤️‍🩹

“I don’t think I will be. I’ve got so many people who have been

even after you are gone.”

The truth is, when our mothers held us, rocked us, stroked our heads—

difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to
believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people
trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too—even when you’re
in the dark. Even when you’re falling.”
