"The world is terrible, yes. The world is also waiting for your face." This essay of yours is a strong manifesto, Elham. and it leaves no room for band-aids or false optimism. It's powerful in its nakedness and leaves the readers few options but bearing witness. Therefore, here I am. With love, Maria
A tragic, heartrending story, so eloquently written. You convey so many images and feelings from your experience and perceptions, which are difficult for those who haven't experienced them to comprehend. I admire how you are able to express your feelings so powerfully.

Thank you, dear Maria. “Here I am” is the sentence I most needed to hear. With love. ❤️

That means a lot, specially because I’m trying to make something hard to comprehend feel human enough to be reached.
Truly thank you.
Thank you for this. My heart weeps for you and Sarah. The pain feels endless and all I can do is fead and listen. But I hear and I am nor turning away
Thank you, dear Nat. “I am not turning away” is one of the kindest things anyone can say right now. It means more than you know.
It is so hard and we feel so helpless
