"To forget, to forget ...", Vahan Teryan (translated by Tathev Simonyan)

I began to draw an invisible line between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person’s attitude so that they wouldn't get any closer. I didn't easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music.

- Haruki Murakami

"Unexpected Storm", Paruyr Sevak (translated by Tathev Simonyan)

you and nature share the same kind of beauty

"I was at the oscars once in the third or fourth row with Diane Keaton. I was a little high. I had to pee - Bad. I was popping Valium like candy. I was praying, 'please don't let it be me, please.'"

inspired by the wonderful @tamarrud, i decided it would be much more effective to create one post every day that compiles the vetted fundraisers i receive from gazans, who desperately need donations/need their campaigns to be shared.
