this is the offical ‘i care’ symbol this is how it works: basically you reblog this and your followers know that you care and that they can message you about anything anon or not and you will reply back or at least look at there message. if you care about your followers please reblog

[sstehreer]

This May be New for SOME but I do CARE. 

So if you need to vent about something, go ahead and message me. I won’t mind at all! I may not know, but I do care for you!

Dark Academia for Brown People

 Most people, when they think of dark academia is books (that’s the whole point) and ancient languages such as Latin or Ancient Greek. I’m here to tell you that you all are SLEEPING on brown culture. Love that is conveyed in the languages of Persian and Urdu (my native language) crosses borders. Sure, Shakespeare and Sappho wrote great pieces of literature but the stories and poems of Rumi, Manto, Hafez and Iqbal have a special place in my heart. 

Some of my favourites are:- (all are translated)

Sit at my grave with wine and a minstrel in a trance, so your smell will raise me from the dead.

HAFEZ

My lover’s sadness lit a fire in my heart that burned my chest, there was a fire in his house that burned the nest.

HAFEZ

O the day turned night, what a shame, a gazelle of kindness a lion became, my partner and lover grew tired of my words and prayers too.

RUMI

These are my personal favourites. I can always make a longer post if you all want.

Female poets deserve a whole other post.

As someone who goes to an English-Medium school, we are always taught to converse in English, see the language as a part of yourself but deny a place to Urdu. As I grow older, I have come to appreciate my identity and so should all my fellow brown people. Take pride in your mother tongue.

In recent years, I too have found a new love in South Asian languages and literature. I’ve always had a fond attachment to Rumi <3. But I’ve expanded my palate to include some of Pakistan’s authors and poets. I’ve even begun to indulge myself in Urdu poetry by reading and writing. Haven’t gotten to the point where I can write Urdu properly, although my reading skills have gotten better.

Really liked this a lot. The mystery of not knowing where you’re headed may seem scary, but it’s exciting.

If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.

Trying for the last year to finish a dang novel!!! Should I just give up by now??
