Robert Wood Lynn, “Bringing a Gun to Chekhov’s House”

i don’t know. i’m barely a person. i just want to be kind and hold someone’s hand. eat an ice cream cone. stare at the lake. feel the sun on my skin. lay in the grass. run through a sprinkler. it’s so easy to forget life is supposed to feel like a deep breath and not a gasp

my mind is very beautiful and it’s going to take me very far.

أَلل‍ّٰه‍ُـــــمَّ إني اسألك حسن الخاتمة

O Allah, I ask you for a good ending...

GOD WORKS EVERYTHING OUT FOR ME
