Impatient

Don’t you sometimes feel completely overwhelmed by all the things you want to know and do, and the relatively little amount of time we have to know and do all these things in?

At the very least, I WILL (somehow) make it to Turkey this summer to visit my ever so amazing friend, May. 

Istanbul- a city on two continents.

The everyday violence against pregnant women in India

Some perspective for ya. 

“India’s other sexual violence is the failure to care for pregnant women, medically and socially…The majority of Indian women who die in childbirth are poor, uneducated, and young.”

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.

Real love came much later. It lay at the end of a long and arduous road, and up to the very last moment I had been convinced it wouldn’t happen. I was so surprised by its arrival, so unprepared, that on the day it arrived I had already arranged for us to visit the Holocaust museum at Auschwitz. You were holding my feet on the train to the bus that would take us there. We were heading toward all that makes life intolerable, feeling the only thing that makes it worthwhile.
