Sharing this level of vulnerability takes immense courage. Your story will surely resonate with anyone who has walked through their own fire.

thank you Aaliya 🥲🥹 it was hard to be that vulnerable, and part of me still wants to take it down..but I think the places we feel inside of us that are the hardest to relate to, might just be where someone actually can relate and feel less alone 🥺♥️

As I read this I thought of one of my closest friends who despite the years of darkness they lived through is one of the most beautiful souls I know. You remind me of her. It is a privilege to hold her when the shadows come to visit her. I hope you feel held by those of us feeling your writing, not just reading the words. I am so very sorry that your baby girl didn’t live to know you, and that her little body did not receive the tenderness you would have liked. May your song be healing to you always 💕

This is just so beautiful, Noor… on every level 😍 Thank you for sharing yourself with such vulnerability and strength. There’s something so powerful about finally seeing the stunning face behind the words too 😍😍 You transform your pain and lived experience into words so deeply human and yet almost holy in their delicacy and beauty… a true alchemist 💫

thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and vulnerable piece. I admire your strength, your softness, and your depths. & although we’ve lived completely different paths, I relate to some of the sentiments you shared. Reading this reminded me that we do descend to find the treasures in this life. and although painful, it’s worth it we’re worth it.
