#unrequited

There is no such thing as unrequited love; the phrase ought to be stricken from the lexicon. Love is a thing shared, an intertwining of essential separateness into something not quite alone. There is nothing like it under the heavens. Like bread, it will not be made with flour or water alone; the recipe requires both. Guarding each other’s vulnerability provides the yeast that makes it rise, and salt from the tears that caring brings lends the finishing touch. ↗

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 ↗

There are no coincidences in life. What person that wandered in and out of your life was there for some purpose even if they caused you harm. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense the short periods of time we get with people or the outcomes from their choices. However, if you turn it over to God he promises that you will see the big picture in the here after. Nothing is too small to be a mistake. ↗
