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.

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.

To call yourself civilized while reducing entire continents to rubble is not “civilization”. It is barbarism wearing a suit and tie.

If your civilization depends on bombs, violence, and the destruction of native lands around the world, it was never a civilization to begin with.

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.

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 💛

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.

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.
