Many of the artists who have represented Negro life have seen only the comic, ludicrous side of it, and have lacked sympathy with and appreciation for the warm big heart that dwells within such a rough exterior. ↗

Sauruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small things... everyday deeds of ordinary folk, that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. ↗

عزيزتي غادة لن أنسى. كلا. فأنا ببساطة أقول لك: لم أعرف أحدا في حياتي مثلك، أبداً أبداً . لم أقترب من أحد كما اقتربت منك أبداً أبداً ولذلك لن أنساك، لا...إنك شيء نادر في حياتي. بدأت معك ويبدو لي أنني سأنتهي معك . "غسان كنفاني ↗

#love

do you know why it hurts so much? It hurts because I fell into what I was running away from. It hurts because you taught me to fight for what I deserved only to find that it's you I have to fight for! You made me believe I deserved the best, to be loved, cared, and cherished.You said it's best if it was YOU but why do you let me feel like an option, like the rest of the gang not even at least your best friend. Why do you take me for granted, why do you not run out of excuses, why is it easy for you to leave and ignore me? You made me strong, you made believe in myself only to be challenged by You!...Yes, it hurts so much to be hurt by You! ↗
