A university degree, four books, and hundreds of articles and I still make mistakes when reading. You write "good morning" and I read it as, "I love you".

وجَلس حزنِي تِجاهي تأملني قليلآ، ثم أجهش الحزن بالبكاء ، وبَقيت صامتة

And my sorrow sat next to me, stared at me for a while,then it burst into tears and I remained silent.

-Ghada el-Samman

May is the month of new beginnings.

But sometimes it is not.

I am so breathtakingly lonely. But I can’t tell my friends that because I don’t want them to feel bad.

But

It’s just lonely without a family.

Without a home you can go back to, when everything falls apart.

I can't live as I once did, telling people that I was doing fine and desperately wanting them to wade through the language and see that I was in pain.
