Today, I wish I was numb.

Immune to all hurt and heartache.

Blind to all horror and evil of terror.

for the battles being wielded in the name of God, in the name of freedom.

I crave for humanity, to grasp onto the shreds of it fading away

spiraling speedily, beyond my reach.

Sucked by the vacuum of violence

day by day, minute by minute.

Today I wish I was an optimist.

dreaming of a world devoid of borders

I wish I was her,craving for places she has never been to,

wandering emotions of the light flowing through her.

Today I wish I was a rebel with an undiminished spirit

not succumbing to the daily brutish way of mankind.

Waging for peace

passionately, ceaselessly and imaginatively

I want to face the arch of ash- sham,

reflect the lives of those that crossed through it’s doorways -

tread on the same path, dream as they did,

and embed her memories on mine.

I want to be her.

But today I’m neither an optimist nor a Rebel

Today I am numb.

-Irfadha

“Do not settle for less than exactly what you want. Your heart’s desires are there for a reason. Chase them. Pursue them relentlessly. Do not lose sight of your goals. They are your very reason for being.”

“I love unmade beds. I love when people are drunk and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. I love the look in people’s eyes when they realize they’re in love. I love the way people look when they first wake up and they’ve forgotten their surroundings. I love the gasp people take when their favorite character dies. I love when people close their eyes and drift to somewhere in the clouds. I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time. I fall in love with their breakdowns and their smeared makeup and their daydreams. Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words.”

- This is just beautiful.

“I’m the kind of person who likes to be by himself. To put a finer point on it, I’m the type of person who doesn’t find it painful to be alone. I find spending an hour or two every day running alone, not speaking to anyone, as well as four or five hours alone at my desk, to be neither difficult nor boring. I’ve had this tendency ever since I was young, when, given a choice, I much preferred reading books on my own or concentrating on listening to music over being with someone else. I could always think of things to do by myself.”

- Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (via thatkindofwoman)

Tough times aren’t our only tests in life, asking for help to get out of those situations is many times the tougher test.
