— Arundhati Roy, The God Of Small Things

" You gave me no other choice but to be strong."

-H.Asteid

" I wasn't built to break."

- H.Asteid

We will survive!

Oh you better watch us thrive

Yes, you did drown our dreams

But we can dive, we can swim

We'll dragged them back up on the surface

With our famous brand of determination and resilience

We'll pick up all the shattered pieces

You see , the harder the wind blows,

the tighter we hold on

The harder you try to pulverize our hopes,

the more you give us nothing but a choice to be strong

- H.Asteid

" I lost myself trying not to lose you."

-H.Asteid

Autumn Love

Our love was softly subdued, in shades of autumn amber hues. With leaves crunching beneath our feet, it was his love that began to destroy me.

Reciting our beautiful vows before the lord, we danced on a windless October night, to a haunted symphony of melodious chords.

Lost in the darkness of his hollow eyes, the exquisite mask he’d designed slowly fell, into decaying autumn leaves on the ground, and his love withered without ever making a sound.

" I would've loved you forever if you had only let me."

-H.Asteid

"And if you're going to lose me, I'm going to make it so hauntingly beautiful you'll remember every second of it."

-H.Asteid

You. You showed me the side of love that Disney tried to hide from me when I was a kid. You made me realize that walking this earth with a soft heart can cost me everything. That night when you left me lying naked on the floor, I wept and silently wished I didn't have emotions at all.

-H.Asteid🍁
