dear mogadishu
warsanshire:
your old anthem burns a hole in stomach
i am the daughter of immigrants
my home is a home of longing
i am swollen with language i cannot afford to forget
i am homesick for a home i have never lived in
last night i dreamt of you
your warm mouth on the soles of my feet
you were humid
your palms flat on my bare shoulders
you carried me home
my mothers village
my fathers...

My desi father's encouragement after I broke up...
What an amazing father!!!
---
(it was the first, proper break-up to have occurred in my life, I was probably 18 or so, it was a cold, bitter winter and I was lying in bed, crying my eyes out and hugging my pillow for the past week and a half without eating a morsel of food)
Dad: May I enter your room, Holy Princess?
Dad: Ha ha, stop crying. Foolish girl.
Dad: Astaghfirullah. What is that smell? Did you burn something?
Dad: It is the smoke rising from your head to see me this positive, yes?
Dad: Okay. Okay. No more to joke.
Dad: I am a Muslim, Pakistani father. I never liked the idea of you being with him but I said, "Let it be, yaar. She is young. She is free. I still love her. She is my baby princess." Wipe your snot. So I was okay with him being with you. But it hurts me a lot more to see you like this.
Dad: You are not chubby anymore. What kind of diet is this, hmm? Ha ha, I made funny joke.
Dad: (pushes my hair behind my ear) Allah created hearts to break and heal every now and then. That is why we are humans. If we did not hurt, we wouldn't be who we are today. But having a broken heart means you have two options: To heal it and become invincible. Or to mope away and become a pathetic shadow of the person you once were. What would my little girl do?
Dad: She would eat lotta chips. Ha ha ha.
Dad: Okay, sorry. She would fight back and win her strength to become who she was and will be forever. You are going to meet someone amazing. Boys are idiots. I thank Allah for not giving me sons. They are foolish donkeys. Daughters are warriors. You are my warrior. When you were born, I had tears. I was so scared. I did not want anyone to hurt my baby. Today he hurt you. Allah will take revenge. But you take your time to heal and know that I am always here for you even if my English is not too good.
Dad: That boy was a bastard, foolish dog from hell. Bastard.
Dad: I love you.
Dear Future Me:
angel-you-were-born-to-fly:
i hope you are well and not lying broken and battered worn and torn in a ditch with only the buzzards as company i hope your heart is strung out and someone’s holding onto the kite you’re attached to and that you don’t depend on anyone to live. here’s hoping you’ve seen wonders sailed across this wanton world with drinks at your fingertips and fire in your heart.
warriorsrise asked: BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD!!! Once you are givin this award, you are supposed to paste it in the ask of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it's sweet to know someone thinks your beautiful inside and out you deserve it lovely <3 ;)

Just a reminder.
