There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

" "Il était une fois un petit prince qui habitait une planète à peine plus grande que lui, et qui avait besoin d'un ami..." Pour ceux qui comprennent la vie, ça aurait eu l'air beaucoup plus vrai. "

" "Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet hardly any bigger than he was, and who needed a friend..." For those who understand life, that would sound much truer. "

Le Petit Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Mama was right

Six years ago, when I decided to leave my hometown for university, mum told me, " you gonna miss home and it wouldn't be that easy to live by your own". I thought she was exaggerating, everything will be okay.

But along the past six years mum, I didn't confess to you that you were right. Every single time I leave home to Cairo, I wished if I could stay with you. I wished if I could simply live again with you. Especially for Winter, all the places where I've stayed were never as warm as your house, it always felt cold. Do you know that I did my best to make it warm by putting carpets and curtains everywhere, just like your home. I even cook roosted sweet potatoes the same as you and dad do in cold nights.

My trip to Cairo was never a good one, it is usually accompanied by some tears, sadness and anger. Mama, you were right!

“Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.”

— Lao Tzu

“there’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I’m not going to let anybody see you. there’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he’s in there. there’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe? there’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody’s asleep. I say, I know that you’re there, so don’t be sad. then I put him back, but he’s singing a little in there, I haven’t quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it’s nice enough to make a man weep, but I don’t weep, do you?”

— Charles Bukowski, “Bluebird”

Les grandes personnes aiment les chiffres. Quand vous leur parlez d'un nouvel ami, elles ne vous questionnent jamais sur l'essentiel. Elles ne vous disent jamais : « Quel est le son de sa voix? Quels sont les jeux qu'il préfère? Est-ce qu'il collectionne les papillons? » Elles vous demandent: « Quel âge a-t-il? Combien a-t-il de frères? Combien pèse-t-il? Combien gagne son père? » Alors seulement elles croient le connaître. " Le Petit Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry "Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.

Growing hurts, it makes your body ache, while your skin burns and your bones feel as if they’d break You might feel unfamiliar and not like yourself when looking in the mirror, as anonymous as anyone else But in the end, that’s what it’s all about, changing for the better and speaking out loud, because growth is never supposed to be uncomplicated, but being closer to the sun means your path’s illuminated.
