"At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book—that string of confused, alien ciphers—shivered into meaning. Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader."

"It was when I met you when I understood love songs and why couples danced with each other. I understood kissing and why it was the most beautiful thing. I understood why heartbroken people cried and why they stayed away from everyone when their hearts shattered, because they needed their space to fill it with the voice of their lover who left and the memories to bring their hearts’ pieces together then break them again. It was when I met you when I understood what life was all about. And why people stayed up late at night thinking about someone."

Leaving in a few hours.

I’m super nervous! I’ve never been abroad. Worried/paranoid about getting pick pocketed, losing stuff, those awful mosquito bites I’m sure to get, etc. 

Away for the next six weeks. Minimal to no posting, reblogging, facebook or emails. 

Nervous, but excited. Can’t wait to land in Accra on Friday :D
