Your anxiety isn’t always fear. Sometimes it’s your intuition refusing to live a life that doesn’t fit you anymore.

A bird doesn’t need to be productive to deserve the sky. Yet humans have been made to believe that we must be productive in order to deserve life.
The goal of fascism isn’t to make you loyal or subservient. It’s to make you numb. It doesn’t want your love or devotion. The only thing it needs is your indifference. When you don’t feel, you’ll let anything slide. When you’re ignorant, you don’t question. Read. Think. Feel. It ruins their plan.
In this world, we are not seen as victims. We are treated as noise. Too poor to matter, too brown to save, and too distant to humanize. And so, life on earth goes on even though we do not.
I’m tired
I don’t need an alarm clock, my anxiety wakes me up right on time.
It’s called “child of a stolen homeland”
Of course! It’s called “child of a stolen homeland” and here is the link 😊: www.amazon.com/child-stolen...
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Not trying to brag or anything, but my book made it onto the top bestseller lists for Human Rights Activism and Middle Eastern poetry.
If this teaches you anything, let it be this: you can chase your dreams and make them happen. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
a poem from my book ‘child of a stolen homeland’
To call yourself civilized while reducing entire continents to rubble is not “civilization”. It is barbarism wearing a suit and tie.
A world fluent in humans but illiterate in humanity.
Me: I’m going to write something beautiful and timeless.
Also me: *googles* “how long should a paragraph be”
Equality sounds radical in a world addicted to hierarchy.
If your civilization depends on bombs, violence, and the destruction of native lands around the world, it was never a civilization to begin with.
Breaking News: literally everything
me 🤝 picking a new book to read even though i already have 15 unfinished ones waiting for me on my nightstand
The older I get, the more I realize that the last thing I want to do is rush. Life feels softer when you stop racing it and start living it. A slow life is a happy life.
Look at who I found hiding in my flower pots 🪴
If you’ve noticed that I’ve been a bit quieter on here lately, it’s because I’m in the final stages of something really special that has been brewing for a while. I’m so excited for you all to see it very soon. I promise it’s going to be worth it 💛
books make me happy
We live in a world addicted to speed and noise. Reading is one of the only things that properly forces you to slow down. To sit with things you don’t immediately understand. That kind of patience feels odd right now in a world that’s so focused on quick productivity. Books heal.
I feel as if the past couple of years have permanently rewired our brains.
If your freedom comes at the cost of someone else’s silence, it was never freedom. It was domination in disguise.
To be colonized is to be alienated from yourself. To decolonize is not to return to some lost past, but to build a future where every person is free to define their own destiny, no longer bound by the chains of foreign-imposed ideologies.
Your problem isn’t the immigrants. Your problem is the billionaires who are using the immigrants to distract you from the real problem.
Refusing to be numb is a radical act. Caring about the earth while they destroy it. Caring about strangers while they deport or bomb them. You’re not ‘too sensitive.’ Don’t let people make you feel ashamed of your empathy and humanity. You’re still human. Stay that way.
