    Amor Fati

    Waking up this morning, everything felt so odd. I woke up early, and felt something akin to peace. What a strange feeling after so many days of turmoil.

We’re not understood by our parents, our siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents. Everyone looks at us with the question, “Why?” instead of seeing our hearts. The rest of the world looks at…
