Since I was 22 years old until today, my country has been caught in negotiations and promises of lifting sanctions. An entire generation has lived in suspension; there has been neither stability nor clarity. More exhausting than pressure is uncertainty,this “neither war nor peace” state that has dragged on for years like a slow, wearing game. I hope these are the final days of this situation. Any outcome,whatever it may be,is better than remaining suspended. Clarity, even if it is difficult, is more humane than prolonged ambiguity. I believe the people of Iran deserve certainty more than anything else,the right to know what ground they stand on and on what foundation their future will be built. Good night friends ✨

In the middle of this crowd, an angel stands with her head lowered, not out of pride, but from the exhaustion of being unseen. Her wings are open, yet we keep our eyes fixed on our own paths. We pass by because a miracle, in our minds, must be loud and radiant, not silent and wounded. We do not love angels while they are alive, while they can still demand something human from us. We canonize them after they are gone, when they no longer threaten our indifference. The tragedy is not their death; the tragedy is that every day we walk past a savior and deliberately refuse to look up.

Maybe it’s time to look at the night in a different way. Good night everyone 🌙

It’s not always going to turn out the way we want. The world is not obliged to wait for our wishes or give us whatever we desire. Let us be grown-up enough to accept what we cannot change, and wise enough to find joy in everything we have right now. Life’s flow is a sad place for those who, like children, are always longing for their wishes and thoughts to be fulfilled. The flow of life is a flawless combination of the present and what we do not have.

When a person is young, they think the answer to everything is simple. When they reach growth, they see the answer to everything as complex and obscure. And when they reach maturity, they realize the answer to everything is simple and found in silence… Good night friends 🌙

On the wet asphalt, a hollow remains where water has collected; its lines are familiar, as though it has endured for years beneath a heavy weight. From a distance, it is only a water-filled pit, but if you pause, you see a shape that has still preserved its borders. Pressure makes the ground subside; not memory. What has repeatedly been written about it is smaller than the reality that lies beneath this surface. This is not an image of defeat; it is a mark of persistence, a form that has changed under years of pressure, yet has not been erased. There are no tears here, no appeal to pity. No self-victimization, no slogan. Only a silent steadfastness.

The night has come, and the city has grown silent, but you are not going to rest. The night is a battlefield where silence screams, and truth stands before you, unflinching. The stars are not here to comfort you; only you know what use they serve. This night will either build you or pass right through you. Good night friends 🌙

Today I saw a video of two Belgian girls laughing as they said they would never want to live in Iran because they imagine it as a place of constant war and insecurity. More than their words, it was the image of Iran in their minds that saddened me. A country that, in the 1970s, through its oil revenues, extended loans and financial credit to some European countries and invested actively in the international economy, including holding shares in companies such as Daimler-Benz, is now perceived by parts of the world as unstable. Iran still ranks among the significant countries in terms of energy reserves and possesses substantial human capital and natural resources. Yet a deep gap has formed between what we truly are and how we are seen. It is painful that a nation with such history and capacity is now defined by such an image. This gap is not a simple misunderstanding; it is the result of years of decisions that have affected the credibility and standing of an entire nation.

This is not merely a caricature; it is a portrait of a world that makes its decisions on the edge of a precipice. On one side sit powers armed with maps and interests; on the other, a ruling authority leaning upon a blood-stained past. Beneath this negotiating table, nothing is concealed—skulls that remind us every agreement, every silence, every bargain has carried a human cost. In this image, Iran is not just a country; it is a knot within the equations of energy, borders, and the architecture of a future world order. Yet amid these grand calculations, one simple truth is left behind: the people, neither subjects of analysis nor figures in a political ledger, but the rightful owners of this land. And the question rising from this image is louder than any slogan: When powers negotiate, who hears the voices of the people standing beneath the table?

The water lily a flower whose portion of this world was a life in the swamp, yet it continued to hold on to hope for living. Good night, friends✨

In Gilan Province, in the city of Fuman, there is a historic fortress called Rudkhan Castle, also known as the “Thousand-Step Castle.” To reach it, you must climb a steep path of nearly a thousand steps. At the beginning, everyone heads upward with smiles and energy. But as you reach the middle of the way, breaths grow shorter. Those still climbing ask the people coming back down, “How much farther is it?” And the usual answer is, “Not much left…” So the steps continue, one by one. The fatigue is real, yet the desire to see the castle after all that effort keeps them moving. I hope that after patience and perseverance in your own life, when you reach the peaks you aim for, a beautiful view appears before your eyes and beneath your feet, one that makes every step you climbed worthwhile.

I was thinking how I wish my eyes hadn’t seen these pains, both during the Mahsa Amini movement and last December, when we lost so many of our young people. Bearing such injustice and grief is beyond what any human can endure. Watching hope suddenly fade weighs heavily on the heart, and sometimes it feels like the world is merciless. Yet, every small action for justice and in their memory carries immense meaning. Good night, friends🌙

We own nothing in this world; not even time is ours. Our coming is not accidental, yet our staying is not guaranteed. Every choice has a weight that presses upon the balance of existence, even if no one sees it. The world wipes away names, but not the effects. The matter is not how long we endure; the matter is that when we fall silent, whether we have left light or heavy. We are not here to remain; we are here to give meaning to being, or to pass by it quietly.
