“I get to know myself again with you. At first, I couldn’t accept I was falling in love with the impossible. However, now, every time I see you, I experience feelings impossible to describe. I love a country I didn’t know at all, I speak a language I didn’t know. The more I learn about the country, the better I understand you. I know the source of your passion, and that passion is what I love about you. I liken the white of your skin to the white part of my flag, the blue of your eyes to the blue part. I, on the other hand, like the star on your flag, believe in the infinity, ascribe to the life you don’t hesitate to sacrifice to the red color of your flag, and I lose myself in that color. Then you turn into the flags of every country, into all the nations. When I think of you, the borders, the color of the people, their flags disappear. When I think of you, I disappear. I’m in the middle of a very deep sleep. If I wake up, when I open my eyes, I want to see your eyes that make every impossibility disappear. Any other way, if I have to wake up from a sleep that won’t end with seeing your eyes, I wish to sleep forever.”

“Teach me how to love you Because I don’t know how to do it. Moments like this I stay alone with something impossible to describe. For that reason I want to build a new world and I want just you next to me in that world. Teach me how to love you. Let’s define everything anew. Let’s invent a new language for ourselves and let’s confess our love to each other in that language that no one else knows. Teach me how to love you. And I will teach you about bravery… How countries and borders will collapse for the sake of our love. And now I’m saying the most painful thing of all; I write letters you’ll never read and day by day I lose my own essence on these lines. I don’t know also what will be left of me. You, me, love, separation, death, life? I beg you, teach me how to love you. I beg you Hilal, promise me a country where we will live and die together.”

Why is it that everytime i read or watch something I inevitably fall in love with the character that's bound to die? Like they always draw me in and then boom dead. It's unfair and it hurts and I hate crying. Please stop doing this to me. It's even worse when I am reading a memoir and he was only in it for 3 pages

I should have just taken a year off like my mother told me to, I have literally never been so miserable in my life. Just when I think it can't get any worse, it manages to get so much worse. Rock bottom is an endless pit of despair.

You ever read something and it just rips your heart out, stomps on it, chews it up, a uses it as a spit ball, and then gently places back in your chest? Cause let me tell you...
