This was so beautifully written. I am in a similar boat as you where I travel and have other experiences alone out of choice, but sometimes you can't help but feel a little alone or bad for yourself. It's not to say sharing moments with others is always fun, but sometimes a lovely moment with a friend or family member beats doing something by yourself.
A flower growing among one million blades of grass will always feel alone. Life needs petals like yours because you were never meant to be grass. Swaths of green are immensely beautiful in their own right, but to be born a lone flower in a world of repetition is brave and powerful. A higher power blessed you with this purpose because it knew you could handle the colours…
the sadness of the line '"Inna lillahi wa inallah-e-raji'oon," I typed in Arabic each time, a shortcut on my keyboard saved through unfortunate frequent use in recent years' but so relatable....love seeing your writing in my inbox :)

A deeply resonant piece that shines a light on loneliness for anyone who has chosen a path less traveled. Thank you!

Beautifully written, even if a little heartbreaking 🥲
Thanks Afnan! With these small heartbreaks comes bigger appreciation for the things we often look past.
