Sign upwe are always waiting for something
for it to be the weekend, to be finished school,
till summer, till we are 18.
we are always god damn waiting
and what’s sad is we miss every beautiful
moment in the ‘present’ because we spend our whole
lives waiting for tomorrow and for the future
we end up skipping our whole lives
and one day we will spend our last day
waiting on a tomorrow that will never come.
“When I was younger and people use to call me names and make fun of me, my mother used to remind me of this desi saying, "Jab hatti hidcha baazar, kukur bhokchan hazzar.”
—Neha Rayamajhi
(translation: When elephant walks down the market street, dogs bark in thousands) because they are intimidated by her presence and her power. So let the dogs bark, just walk forward in your path, your presence powerful and your power present.
