A friend once told me, sometimes our words are all we have. When our homelands are occupied, our bodies shackled, we still have our words.

What we choose to do with them is up to us. Some use their words to hate some use theirs to love. I believe there is greater risk in loving than there is in hating, because you always risk yourself when you love. You put your heart in someone else's hands trusting they will keep it safe, hoping they wont break their promises.

I try to live my life writing and loving without fear. In the end at least I'll know I took the risk.

All love

My name is the name of the one who loves
