My ears are being pierced between the voices inside my head and the voices of these people-y things outside.

Between the self and the world, choose your story; opt for your horror.

— Sadia Hakim

“Between the noise of self and the noise of the world, you must choose one. One will help you find; the other will help you lose.”

— Sadia Hakim

You must choose the world within or the world outside—there is no other way to do it. Choose your noise wisely.

— Sadia Hakim

Between the noise of self and solitude and the noise of this crowded, people-y world, where nothing makes sense, I choose the chaos within—the screams of self, the voices in my head, the symphonies of my soul, the ache of my heart.
