more studying, more walks, more reading, more skill-based hobbies, more experimenting w pretty fits and hairstyles, more gym, more exploring new things in general, more whole foods/healthy recipes, more financial literacy, more time management, more time off the phone, more being out the loop. nothing else matters
Hanif Abdurraqib, They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us
Detail of plants/trees/leaves from various Indian miniatures.
hate how so much of adult friendship relies on updates, experiencing your life through pictures and tidbits. we had it good with childhood friends, could spend years and years basking in the same circumstance. now i just float through clouds of strangers, hungry for something solid and warm. yes i carry your heart within mine, yes i see the world through your eyes. but in that very moment i still feel alone, still know it's poor substitute for same room, twin smiles.
سأظلُّ أناضلّ لاسترجاع الوطن لأنّه حقي وماضيّ ومستقبلي الوحيد. لأنّ لي فيه شجَرة وغيمَة وظلّ وشمس تتوقّد وغيوم تُمطرُ الخصْب وجذور تستَعصي على القلع
I will continue to struggle to regain my homeland because it is my right, my past, and my only future. Because I have a tree, a cloud, and a shade, and a sun that burns, and clouds that rain fertility, and roots that are difficult to uproot

thinking abt when someone rests their head on your shoulder and suddenly you're barely breathing because you don't want to disrupt their comfort by moving. will never get over how there can be so much love held in silent gestures.
