“I Will Love You With The Dust Of Who I Was, With The Skin I Am Now, And With The Bones That Will One

Mahmoud Darwish, from Unfortunately, It Was Paradise: Selected Poems; “The Flute Cried,”

There is love in holding and there is love in letting go.

Sometimes I think it's better to not have a chance at something than to have a chance that you know will not last long. You'll be craving to have something you can never keep.

You know how to love someone, but you don't know how to believe that someone loves you, and that is your tragedy.

Last night was the first night I felt alive in 2020. I was happy like I wasn’t for years.

We danced to our favorite songs. Sang at the top of our lungs. The center was full of people existing at the moment.

I got into a little trouble for going late, with my mom warning me she’ll never let me go anywhere again, but I don’t care. I was happy. I cherished every second of last night. I lived in the moment with my friends.

If given a chance, I’d do it over again. And maybe not go home after the night I will always remember.

"If I ever see a flaw of yours, i'd say my eyes are the flawed ones."

Mahmoud Darwish

One of the saddest, hardest moments of your life will be when you are crying and screaming to the world pleading for a sign.

A sign that you should stay alive for one more day, maybe a couple of days.

But that sign doesn’ t come. You stare at your phone thinking maybe someone will answer or someone will text you asking if you’re okay. You search endlessly for some reason to stay alive but you can’t find any.

That is probably the most heartbreaking moment when you can’t find any reason to stay alive when you need it most because you suddenly feel all this pain and you feel more alone than you’ve ever felt in your entire life.

That moment will break you and I don’t wish it on even my worst enemies.
