Additional quotes by Najwa Zebian

The mistake most of us make is that we build our homes in other people in the hope that they will deem us worthy of being welcomed inside. We feel so abandoned and empty when people leave, because we’ve invested so much of ourselves in them.

I broke my soul trying to mend yours.

If you ever come back, I will tell you:

The sun is closer to you
than I will ever be.
So burn,
if you wish.
You will not
see the shadow of me
even if you become
the sun
yourself.

You were my home for so long. Now I realize that humans cannot be homes. If homes can leave, then they are not homes. - Najwa Zebian
