A ten year old prostitute omfg what a misnomer

The Aquarius.. what does he have to do with these fish

I forgot about this prose hahaha am I dumb

Part 3

Yash why. I understand loyalty to a friend.. but they’ve been dating for a long time now. This is just not okay.

I can’t put this down. It feels like exactly how my own relationships were at that age. And how dumb and immature and obsessed I was. And how little time I spectating my girl friends. So dumb. But I simply love this story despite reminding me of those days. It’s nostalgic

Parnassus is a Phoenix! Whoooaaa

Persian rugs everywhere. Iranian women make the rugs for all the most beautiful places in the world

Seeing Ellie be a mother figure is so sweet. She gets to erase the generational trauma or curse of her mother by being everything her mother was not

227/230 made me cry so hard. Bahar is there and Ellie and Mehrdad are loving it. They’re so happy to have her safe with them. The daughter of their old friend omg

My mother. My social-climbing, borderline narcissistic, always
seemingly selfish mother. Talking to me about child custody laws. About
divorce laws.

Feeling lonely is a new country? How original Ellie

Uh oh. Maybe the revolution wasn’t such a good idea after all. Ayotallah isbringing back religion fast and hard. Women’s rights are gonna take a hit

Homa taking back her power and identity brings me to tears

I just want to know what Homa’s perspective is!

Not me feeling bad for Ellie.

Damnit Ellie what the hellie

Imagine if I could not just outgrow my own toxic vices but also transmit to
my children the best of traits. Yes, I would raise secure, confident people. I
would break the cycle of suspicion and superiority and paranoia that
seemed to run in my family line.

I’m not sure how long I lay with my eyes closed. My tulle skirt puffed
up ridiculously above my knees—a veritable symbol of my childishness.
One day I’d grow up. I had to. One day I would be calm and not so
beholden to my insecurities

Ours was a friendship worth saving. Worth keeping. Worth
protecting. For I knew Homa’s heart was pure. I admired her inability to
ever be fake. She was the most authentic person I knew. And I valued our
friendship too much to let this recent argument stymie us.

This mothers ego is insane. How can she turn everything around for attention?

Why does she idolize afarin so much? Is that who she thinks her mother wants her to be? Or society? Or who she actually wants to be?
Why did the class system call to her so much and not to homa?
