Looking at it, I started crying. Maybe it was knowing that I had to give up the fantasy, the enormous life consuming fantasy , that someone or something was going to do this for me – the fantasy that someone was coming to lead my life, to choose direction, to give me orgasms. ↗

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. ↗

We never can just stop time. Or take moments back. Life doesn't work that way, does it? ↗

I like Dancing of Indian girls more than my parents’ prayers . Because they dance with love and passion . But my parents just say their prayers because they got used to it . ↗

This is where men and women are different, we can put aside petty competition for relationships - they can't. It interferes. ↗

…she was one of those happily created beings who please without effort, make friends everywhere, and take life so gracefully and easily that less fortunate souls are tempted to believe that such are born under a lucky star. ↗

Laundry, liturgy and women's work all serve to ground us in the world, and they need not grind us down. Our daily tasks, whether we perceive them as drudgery or essential, life-supporting work, do not define who we are as women or as human beings. ↗

المرأة (المفكرة) ليست بالضرورة بشعة، ولا عجوزًا، ولا عانسًا، ولا يائسة. إنها أنثى أخرى مثلي ومثلكِ، تحب الحياة كما نحبها، لكنها أكثر وعيًا في هذا الحب، لذا فإن سلوكها يتخذّ صورة الدفاع عن أهم ما في الحياة: الكرامة. ↗

Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it at every moment. ↗

And so taking the long way home through the market I slow my pace down. It doesn't come naturally. My legs are programmed to trot briskly and my arms to pump up and down like pistons, but I force myself to stroll past the stalls and pavement cafes. To enjoy just being somewhere, rather than rushing from somewhere, to somewhere. Inhaling deep lungfuls of air, instead of my usual shallow breaths. I take a moment to just stop and look around me. And smile to myself. For the first time in a long time, I can, quite literally, smell the coffee. ↗
