being a hero isn’t about doing the easy thing…it’s about doing the right thing.

i’ve never been the type of person who makes decisions based on fear. so, in true shirin fashion – i’m following my heart and trusting that everything is just as it should be.

and for my baba, who i’m certain has a hand in all the magical & wonderful things that exist in my world right now:

در گذشته ای بسیار دور خداوند در زمین ماسه ای به دور محلی که تو اکنون ایستاده ای دایره ای کشید.

i couldn’t agree more.

(oh? you want a translation? “Long ago, God drew a circle in the sand exactly around the spot where you are standing right now. You were never not coming here. This was never not going to happen. Once you have faith, place trust. one day you will see the purpose of this moment.”)

everything happens just as it should.
