I Recently Finished Reading The Kite Runner And Oh My God Was It Eye Opening. By The End Of It, I Was
I recently finished reading the kite Runner and oh my god was it eye opening. By the end of it, I was bawling my eyes out, and my lids hurt from being pressed down so tight. But even in the darkness of humane sorrow I saw a fleeting glimpse of turmoil that countless children like Hassanβand later Sohrab face. Not just in Afghanistan, but all over the world. Aptly, there's a lot of children in the world, but not enough childhood of each.
Humanity is weird. It pats your back, consoling you that there is good in the world one moment, and the next time you're looking at your scars in your mirror at your home, you can hear the voices of the same humanity, whispering in your ear that you're impure, for Sohrab; that you're a monster, for Amir; and lastly, you're illegitimate, loyal to your grave like a dog, and naive, for Hassan.
2 boys. Then 3 men. And 2 exemplary mentors. And 2 wilful women.
9 people. One story. One fate. One destiny. But many versions, many unheard rhapsodies.
Welcome home, Hassan. You'll eventually be loved proudly and boldly from the people you love. Welcome home, Amir. You'll eventually learn that what you did was wrong, but you were an affection starved child, and that isn't your fault. Welcome home, Sohrab. You aren't dirty or sinful, the dark corners of the world are.
For all of them, a thousand times over.

Jiafei breathed deeply in the balcony. The pungent smell of firecrackers in the field was agonising. Her nostrils felt like they were on fire. Right. Time for a puff from her inhaler.
She reached deliberately slow to her pockets, as if savouring the burning feeling of the firecracker soot still lingering around her nose. It was a feeling of unexplained joyβa new year had begun. A new era, full of life and hope.
She breathed deeply. One puff. Two. Kai Cenat really knew his stuff, making these inhalers. Back into her pocket. She caught herself thinking of Cupcakke as she stared into the distance. If only she could make it from Ohio to Floptropica on New Years'.....
Jiafei felt two warm hands snaking around her waist, and a pair of long nails like talons asserting their hold around her. She smiled a knowing smile. Her high pitched voice droned. "Guess you're here, finally".
Cupcakke merely hummed as she buried her face in Jiafei's neck, kissing it softly. Her bright pink nails caressed Jiafei's face, making her face herself. She leaned into Jiafei's ear, and whilst smiling softly, whisperedβ"I could never leave you alone on New Year's, love. You're the light of my life, fire of my loins. Happy New Year's."
Jiafei closed her eyes in serenity as she felt Cupcakke's moist lips close in around her, a warm embrace contrasting to the chilly surroundings.
Michael myers and pyramid head I tell you
Let me love them!!!!
