and Mahmoud Darwish wrote for his homeland (Palestine) " peace to the land that was created for peace, and never saw a peaceful day " 💔

[booksbyadesi]

“The war will end. The leaders will shake hands. The old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son. That girl will wait for her beloved husband. And those children will wait for their heroic father. I don’t know who sold our homeland. But I saw who paid the price.”

— Mahmoud Darwish; Palestinian poet.

[booksbyadesi]

My dear brother - please forgive me. I will not visit your childhood tree in al-Birweh and I will not engrave our two names on it... Simply, and with complete honesty: I cannot do that. But there is something else I can do for my sake and yours: engrave our names on the wind. I can etch the wind into the homeland. I can inscribe the homeland on my flesh. I can scatter my flesh in the poem.

Samih al-Qasim, 'Letter to Mahmoud Darwish' (6th October 1986)

If you decide to leave, by Miles Carter

If you decide to leave someone Know that it won’t be easy Because losing someone isn’t instant It happens every morning you wake up thinking of them And every night you fall asleep missing their warmth You will lose them over and over again until you are done with it | so admit to this knowing it’s okay to leave someone you love Nostalgia is a liar in how it montages our best memories while omitting our truths And the truth is not every experience is meant to last forever, No one is entitled to any part of you for any more time than you comfortable sharing yourself So be selfish You are a universe Inside of a vessel And not everyone is worthy of the experience that is you You are not obligated to keep anyone in your life so learn to experience fully, and know when to let go and if you decide to stay let it be a mutual love that keeps you here do not sacrifice your own peace for the happiness of another in fear of hurting them they will hurt, and they will heal Just as you will hurt, You will find yourself lost in a world without them But you will heal and in time, You will realize you are living without the one you thought you couldn’t live without

This feels like a hug💌

To anyone worried because they fell behind on NaNoWriMo

You're doing great. Even if you only wrote one word of your story this month, that's one word more than you had before.

16 days in and I still feel watched by a shadow lurking.

Things that don't matter when you're writing a story:

what will critics and detractors say about this?

is this as marketable as I can possibly make this?

Things that do matter when you're writing a story:

is this story meaningful for me, the author, to write?

is this the story that I want to be writing?

i am positive that the first time pip wore her “talk nerdy to me” shirt after they started dating, ravi confidently leaned against a doorframe & said “hey. the mitochondria’s the powerhouse of the cell.”

When you want a boyfriend but Ravi Singh just highered the expectations a little too high. Like I need a guy that would hide a dead body for me and be fine to get blamed.

Looks like I'm not gonna get one like him anytime soon 😭😭
