♦︎Dedication ♦︎

I dedicate this story

To the first person that ever listened fully to it, from the beginning to the very end and actually managed to understand it. It didn't matter that their thought of it was contrary to mine or how they felt about the meaning behind my story. They say a story helps you convey your views about life, that it's sometimes a window to yourself. To you Athia , who first ever acknowledged my opinion, and me.

To my girl, my homie , my kindred spirit, in whom I found myself, one of the two who understood me the most. I could almost call you my precious hidden jewel of the heart because you're just so rare. But I know already as of now, you won't understand a word of what I'm saying. N'est-ce pas Farida ? I praise the Lord of the Worlds for having me meet you. May He make us among the ones who meet under His shade , on the day there will be no Shade but His.

To someone even more special , who doesn't judge and is the most honest heart you can ever meet. Who is selfless enough not to want even to be given credit. A sweet girl , my Lord put on my path as one of my dearest family, I love you Dily for supporting me.

To my mentor in life , someone I wish I could refer to as my mom, my darling big sister who accompanied me from my first steps in life to my becoming and my understanding of who I am. One of the few people I can share the matters of my heart with. No matter how much I think about it I cannot express enough my gratitude towards my Lord for the love He seeded in my heart for her. It's this kind of love that can help you blossom in the most beautiful way. I just cannot say enough how much I love you. Thank you for being in my life.

Ps: you lazy bum Athia girl , I'm dedicating to you knowing you won't read that anyway. But what's life ? 🤷🏾‍♀️
