Life is just like this… a whole made of storms, light, and shadows.
And within that whole, we lose ourselves—just to find ourselves again. 💙

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

I wish I could show you all the joyous photos and videos being shared on Muslim and South Asian WhatsApp right now with people reacting to Mamdani's victory.
It's really beautiful and cathartic.
So many years of anti-Muslim bigotry, racism & hate.
And all those tears are now sugar for our chai.
