I am not easy to be with but I am someone to be human with

I am not an easy person. Not in the ways that most people hope for. I overthink every word I say and every silence that follows. I replay conversations that happened five years ago, wondering if I came across as too much or not enough.

I am afraid I will die but my body will not. Sadia Hakim

Will I stop stargazing and moon gazing? Or will I become more addicted to them? I asked myself while thinking about being tied to the wrong person, trapped in the wrong version of life. Will I still be able to cherish the first flower in my planter? Will I still be able to cherish rain? […]

I have my madness like any other human

Every sane person bleeds somewhere you can’t see. Some drown in routine, some in silence, some in love that never loved them back.

I fight to be a human in a dehumanized world

I am so undeniably lonely, so unspeakably unlovable. I am a woman of strict boundaries in a world that thinks it owns my body, soul, thoughts, values, future, life, and destiny. I am so unbearably rebellious, so undesirably human. I am a woman shaped by defiance, by solitude, by understanding, by empathy, and this combination […]

Stop blaming religions for the sins of individuals

A Hindu does something wrong — you drag Hinduism. A Muslim fails — you stain Islam.A Christian messes up — you mock the cross. A Jew makes a mistake — you curse Judaism. A Sikh stands accused — you question the entire faith. Even atheists aren’t spared from your filthy generalizations. Why? Why do you […]

You are my sunshine breaking through clouds

You are my sunshine breaking through clouds. You are my sunrise rising through mountains. You are my dawn chasing away shadows. You are my rain softening the drought. You are my compass pointing me home. You are my garden blooming through ruins. You are my river cutting through stone. You are my armor shielding my […]
