  • finding my voice

    in the quiet moments i found my voice not in the silence, but in the noises between.where thoughts became my words, and the pen became my compass. words flowed like rivers, through deserts of silence and valleys of feari wrote of my heart, of its wounds and its scars,of memories wrapped in the back of my mind, forever flowing. from the rain-drenched valleys and verdant hills of yemen,to the sun-kissed… ↓

  • comfort in silence

    you know, there’s times in life when words just don’t seem like enough.like when i see you hurting, the sound in your voice, the pain in your heart,and all i can do is stand by, wishing i could do more. how can i watch you grieve and not know what to do?it breaks my heart to see you in paini wish there was more i can offer for you. witnessing… ↓

  • enjoy the silence before the noise
