I cannot express it; but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is or should be an existence of yours beyond you. What were the use of my creation, if I were entirely contained here? My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it.—My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
Emily Brontë, Wuthering heights

thanks for your support. There are 19 days left until the end of our campaign. These funds will be essential support for us when we reach Egypt, to start our lives again and so that I can return to my work. We are still in northern Gaza and will not be able to register to travel until we reach the goal of this campaign. Can we reach the goal before the period ends?
I miss you deeply, unfathomably, senselessly, terribly.

mine for you would create Tsunamis.
