Can you cook? If yes, please share one of your favorite recipes. Happy to see it! 😊

I can’t cook. The bare minimum like fried rice, chicken, meat and some veggies. Kinda ‘famous’ for bad cooking :)

The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.

- Fernando Pessoa

[muhtesemz]

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.

- Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

[muhtesemz]

Don’t know why it makes me sad every time.

[muhtesemz]

I have never belonged to any place, or to any person. I have always been a guest passing through, even in my own life.

- Fernando Pessoa, Poetry

[muhtesemz]

Ignoring life.

“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.”

Will I ever get back to poetry? Or forever done with that phase?

[muhtesemz]

Back to Chicago after exactly two months. Feeling like the first time had been here. Went to a cafe even before going home lol.

““Stop saying it’s okay when your soul’s bleeding. Stop trying to dodge knives that always end up in the depths of your heart. Stop looking to the ceiling hoping that tears won’t overflow. Stop taking people’s shit. Walk away. Fuck them all.””

— Self advice, E.B.

Need Duas to flourish academically. Nothing is seeming to work out these days

All the prayers for you. May Allah make everything easy for you. May Allah open a beautiful way for you.

I do not know what so attracted me to him—those who say that certain souls recognise each other instantly and cling to one another inexplicably are right.

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn't even matter
