if it led me to sujood then it wasn’t a waste. God bless the lost loves and lost friendships, may everyone i’ve known, even for a moment, be protected and guided always. i forgive you and hope i am forgiven. i’ll remember you making this heavy earth just a little bit lighter. i hope you remember me the same way.

i don’t come back from any day the same anymore. i stare the alternate life in the face and sometimes it has the decency to stare back. most days though, it just looks the other way. and when i cant face the world at all, i face the qibla and it carries me to the next moment. i don’t dream of the dead. i don’t dream of anything sensible. i don’t write. i don’t plan. i hardly breathe. i am angry all the time and my anger is making me resent people in grocery stores and airports and i wish it wouldn’t. my thoughts jump from year to year trying to trace it back to one moment but grief outlines everything and i exist only in its borders.

sometimes catch myself thinking "of course this would happen, of course israel would open fire at starving people trying to get aid, of course the airdropped aid would fall in a place it's not supposed to fall, of course more and more children are dying of starvation and malnutrition" and then i have to remind myself to stay angry at everything that is happening because even if all of it follows the despicable and clear path of genocide, it should be resisted every step of the way until we can get it to stop
even though israel is simply following the plans it has already declared to raze gaza to the ground and ethnically cleanse its people, even though we are watching nothing but an accelerated version of the kind of strategy that has been employed against palestinians for 75 years, even though the leaders of the world are complicit while the people of the world continue to protest, even though it has been five months, i refuse to normalize with this. none of this is normal. this is monstrous, depraved and sick. its nothing new but we'll keep saying it, and i won't forget any of it.

the world keeps moving all around me. i go outside and watch people buy in abundance, complain about traffic. i watch influencers sell us their latest makeup product, hair product, selfie light, stanley cup, starbucks order. the construct of whiteness has created two worlds. one where bombs fall somewhere far away and people think the greatest inconvenience is a boycott. and another world where we stay up to memorize faces under rubble, hold on to lines of poetry during the 100th day of bombing, and wait wait wait for a different ending to a very old story. i want no part in their world of comforts, in their life of escapism. how can i escape the orphaned child,a US bomb falling on him, signed off by my million luxuries. how can i continue looking people in the eye.

there is no pain like this. ya Allah liberate them. from gaza to khalil and from khalil to haifa. liberate them. from palestine to sudan. for each home lost give them a million more in jannah. ya Allah for each martyr grant them a borderless paradise. ya Allah grant them the goodness and safety of this life and the next.
