i'm so happy now because ALIFIYA ZAKIR IS LIKE THE NICEST GIRL ON EARTH. let me explain why.

1. she lent me A Thousand Splendid Suns!
2. she listens to my nonsense everyday!
3. we think alike!
4. we have the same taste in many things!
5. she hasn't shot me in the head!
6. I LOVE HER A LOT.

so i've started reading ATSS, and it's not like The Kite Runner, it's 41895609 times better! more about it when i'm done reading it. in the meantime, i found this lovely poem:

As I Grew Older

It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun -
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky -
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!

By: Langston Hughes

why do we grow so fast and then get consumed in our own shadows? we let the wall rise so high that we one day forget what the light of our dreams even looked like, felt like. and then we start feeling satisfied cowering in the darkness, believing that hey... it's better than nothing right?
