Persian New Year

March 21, 2026

No one wants to talk about the War
but at least we exchange "Happy New Years"
سال نو مبارک
every other moment not thinking about it
is a breath of fresh air
I can't believe it used to feel this nice
now I fall apart randomly

When you have known about a terrible thing
that would happen
since I was 15 years old
and had to wait 17 years for it to unfold
it feels strange to think back
to that young boy
who knew
