He said it. and he said it beautifully.
This isn't torture.
Torture happens in small, dark rooms in countries with names you struggle to spell.
This is just mildly unpleasant.
This isn't heroism.
Heroism happens in churches that are also schools, performed by teachers with no names and no place to stay.
This is just a good deed for the day.
This isn't loss.
Loss happens on fields filled with poppies, in hospitals buzzing with flies, in distant deserts and late at night when there's no good reason for the phone to ring.
This is just longing.
This isn't important.
Important happens on bended knees and is breathed on last breaths with hands clutched tight, hearts tighter.
This is just a distraction.

On things
"For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it.I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

on the knots
أنا شاب لكن عمري ألف عام
وحيد لكن بين ضلوعي زحام
خايف و لكن خوفي مني أنا
أخرس و لكن قلبي مليان كلام
وعجبي

يا باب يا مقفول ... إمتي الدخول
صبرت ياما و اللي يصبر ينول
دقيت سنين ... و الرد يرجع لي : مين ؟
لو كنت عارف مين أنا كنت أقول
وعجبي

أنا كنت شئ و صبحت شئ ثم شــئ
شوف ربنا .. قادرعلي كل شـــــــئ
هز الشجر شواشيه ووشوشني قال :
لابد ما يموت شئ عشان يحيا شئ
وعجبي
___
حاسب من الاحزان و حاســـــــب لها
حاسب علي رقابيك من حبلـــــــــــها
راح تنتهي و لابد راح تنتهــــــــــي
مش انتهت أحزان من قبلهــــــــــا؟
وعجبي
حاسب علي رقابيك من حبلـــــــــــها
راح تنتهي و لابد راح تنتهــــــــــي

ولدي نصحتك لما صوتي اتنبــــــــــــح
ما تخفش من جني و لا من شبـــــــــح
و ان هب فيك عفريت قتيل إسألـــــــــه
ما دافعش ليه عن نفسه يوم ما اندبح

on the only eternity
"You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting."

On Do.s
Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.
Shel Silverstein

On Human Firewalls
I would like to be soft and warm. I would be terrified to be that way. I could be hurt if I were soft and warm. I could be hurt by something other than myself. It is harder to be soft than it is to be hard. I could be hurt by something other than myself.

On "nice"
Nice is the word people use to fill in the blanks. It is the word they use when they can not think of a better adjective, or are just too lazy to utter one. Nice is the word people use to remain on cultural sidelines, avoid confrontation or isolation. Nice, is in fact, not nice at all.
