"But in that moment I understood what they say about nostalgia, that no matter if you're thinking of something good or bad, it always leaves you a little emptier afterward."

I was turning numb. What happened to me didn't seem to matter. Sometimes I felt angry, but most of the time I felt I'd never felt so much nothing before.

Sometimes I feel numb. It's not me moving my fingers and it's not me talking. Sometimes words get out of my mouth without knowing that. Sometimes I feel like I am watching myself reading a book or writing, from the corner of the room. How did I get from that body? I don't know. I am wondering what she is doing and why she is still alive. And as usual I go inside that body again to find a hollow. It's like there's a hole inside her. If you shout inside her, you'll hear your echo. She doesn't feel anything. She is so lonely. Thoughts rushes inside of her brain and make her feel like a roller-coaster.
When you ask her how she is, she'll answer "I'm doing great." But she is lying. She is not fine. She just can't put what she feels in words and sentences. So she will just sit on her bed, and stare at the wall till she sleep.

"وأخذتُ أسأل كل شيء حولنا
ونظرتُ للصمتِ الحزينِ.. لعلَّني أجدُ الجوابْ
أتُرى يعودُ الطَّير من بعد اغترابْ؟"

"I don't think "cool" is the first word most people would associate with me."
What would that be then?"
"I don't know.
annoying.
obnoxious.
argumentative definetly. self-righteous is probably one.
Uh, arrogant. frigid..

I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me — the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art

وليس الوصلُ في اللقيا ولكن..
ودادٌ في القلوبِ بلا جفاءُ..
فكم من حاضرٍ قد غابَ عنَا..
وكم من غائبٍ زاهي اللقاءُ..
