I'm still reeling from this article about Jonas Hassen Khemiri's writing experience... like, what even is grief, right?
It's these overwhelming emotions that feel like they're suffocating you, but also somehow free you at the same time?
And then there's the story of his dad, who abandoned their family and left them to fend for themselves... talk about a complicated web of relationships!
I'm low-key impressed by how Khemiri is using writing as a way to process his emotions and make sense of it all. It's like, he's taking this pain and turning it into something beautiful
But what really resonated with me was the part where he says "Everything you have, you got from me"... like, isn't that just the truth?
Our lives are shaped by those who came before us, but we also get to forge our own paths forward. It's this beautiful balance between gratitude and responsibility
