“I resist the urge to let my anxiety win
to let it take over what I love
to let it stop me from doing what I love
from loving myself.”
Fida Islaih

“Laying in a hammock, darkness surrounds me.”
Fida Islaih, Hugs & Kisses

“We are a collection
of blood and bones
we are a collection
of veins
all strung together
delicately
using our skin
as a hard shell it shouldn't be.”
Fida Islaih, Her Treasures

“It is not Islam that oppresses Muslim women, it is the lack of knowledge or the lack of application of that knowledge that oppresses.”
Na'ima B. Robert, From My Sisters' Lips

“It was then that I came to an important realization:as long as someone is beautiful,thin,wealthy,fun-loving or talented,we are happy to accept him or her at face value.We are not ever taught to look for-or care about-what lies beneath the surface.”
Na'ima B. Robert, From My Sisters' Lips

“All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver
