love me tender

When Javed Akhtar wrote and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan sang, "Chehra uska hai ya koi mahtaab hai."

When Richard Siken wrote, "You were pointing at the moon and I was looking at your hand."

When Iftikhar Naseem said, "Us ke chehre ki chamak ke samne saada laga, asmaan pe chand pura tha magar aadha laga."

Ya Allah! thakey hoye zehno par rehem farma, toute, zakhmi dilon par rehem farma, un ankhon par rehem farma jo raat ko routi hain lekin subha hansti, muskurati uthti hain, ya Allah! un logo per rehem farma jo tere kun ki umeed liye hoye hain, un logon per rehem farma jinhone apna mamla tere supurd kar dia hay, gharz har insan per rehem farma to beshak rehman o raheem hay.

if you grew up walking on eggshells and shrinking yourself to be safe: you need to be loud. play your music loudly, put your full weight down when you walk. drop your shoulders, and relax your throat when you speak. take up space!

I don't trust anyone who hasn't acknowledged their capacity for evil.

"I'm just a smol bean uwu" No sir, what you are is someone who is so habituated to thinking of yourself as innocent that you will continue to do so even when you're guilty.

To quote Chris Fleming

"You know that thing where the most toxic person you've ever met over-relates to woodland creatures on social media? I call it Vibe Dysphoria. She'll put up a picture of a mouse in a jean jacket with 'It's me.' That is not you. I don't know how you got under the impression that you are a mouse in a jean jacket. You are an eel with a gun.She posts a toad with a basket of mushrooms like 'Me doing my little things.' Oh madam, there is nothing little about your things. You gave me psychosexual issues I'll carry to my watery grave. You are not a toad in the forest...You are a cruel woman who just happens to be small."--Chris Fleming

My red flag is isolating myself when life gets dark and messy. I'd stay silent, pull away, push those I love away and hide. But, it's also when I crave being found the most, where I long for a heartfelt conversation and pay attention to every gesture of kindness.
