All of us are unlucky enough to be thirsty.

Not all of us are lucky enough to find water.

Too chalant to not celebrate my 10k followers with a CAKE. Too chalant to just say thank you when you congratulate me instead of hopping with joy.

Thank you, each of one you! <3

Some chills are just chills.
And then there is the chill of realizing-
your mother will one day be too old to leave the house,
and will see the world only through your eyes.

In my country,
you cannot be certain
if you will wake up to the next sunrise
or if you will find yourself under debris
before experiencing the upcoming sunset.

Some days, I exist not as an outcome
but a probability.
Some days, I become my grandfather
eagerly licking desserts off his fingers
after being diagnosed with diabetes.

No, you cannot pray for the satan to become a saint.

You can only pray for the saint to never become like the satan.

I don't like tea.
I like the warmth of my mother's hands
when she hands the cup over to me.
I like how the smile on her face tastes
sweeter than two spoonfuls of sugar.
