“We are mother and daughter kindred spirits. We are a thirty-five year old woman and a fourteen year old girl dancing for our lives, with all of our hearts, melting into laughter, ensconced in unadulterated joy.” Such a beautiful quote 🥹 makes me think of my mom

“Homa had always loved to tell me that we would grow up to be lionesses….I am a proponent of the rights of women. And I admire the activists.” So powerful 🙌🏽

Homa flirting with her best friend’s fiancé?? Oh no she didn’t it!

Ellie asking Homa if she has a crush and she says no and it’s a relief because she has more time to study and work is the energy I need after my experiences dating men lmao

Ellie’s mother telling her she’s friends with Homa out of pure desperation is crazy work. Not nice mothering skills

“Baba says we have to contribute to the country….How will you contribute, Ellie? Teacher, Doctor, Lawyer?” Ellie then thinks she just wanted to finish her ice cream. REAL
