On the journey to myself I’ve been so many people.
Indigo Williams (via quotemadness)
.. Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.’ // Rooftops

A poem by Hussain Salahuddin (the founder of the present day Majeediyya School in Malé) praising alcohol.
nethi dhanee sikundeege thehkan, ethi fodheh nulibey kamun
vethirivi whisky kula nufanduvaa, fulhi nikan fonuveynehee
vas nuhanu molhu mai vi dheyhun, masthuva fenunas furun
…
masthuvaa heekohliyas mithuraage raa nulibeynehey
naaruthah kendi burive dhiyas, baaru nethi mulhi hashugandun
yaaru thiyathuni aifulhun hama ethi fodheh nudhevenehey
saahibaa dhehvan kiyehthowey thikeh vasluge sharab
