Beautifully written! Coming from a bilingual house myself I really enjoyed reading your piece and I found it quite relatable. Thank you.

This is very cool. Especially being a pakistani. Honestly, I have never heard of the word and I am just going to grab an urdu dictionary and find it. It's a beautiful word, indeed. Also, if you have any difficultied in any urdu word, you can email me :)

I'm learning a lot of cool languages on Duolingo. Mostly Welsh, but some Irish and Scottish Gaelic. Have I mentioned I'm in love with the UK? Lol
Great work! I love this!

a very late congratulations to you!
Re: I just finished Tower of Nero last week, so yay me! tbh though, I thought it could have been a lot better, especially since it was both the last book of the TOA series and the Percy Jackson series (plural). Not saying it was a bad book, I thought it was good, it just wasn't the best Riordan book I've read.

This is really nice. Written in such a conversational manner. The ending where you explain what the word means just flows so well and sweeps you along.

Ahhh this is lovely. This prompt has given birth to so many wonderful pieces. Its a shame that English doesn’t have true equivalents for so many important words. Congrats on Wednesday Words! ;)

Congratulations! This piece is beautiful.
Re: Which Shadowhunter books have you read? There are soooo many, it's kind of intimidating.
Also, I see you mentioned Hamilton. I'm a huge theater nerd, and of course, am obsessed with Hamilton. Now, I don't think you're looking for recommendations for other albums to listen too, but I honestly can't stop myself. Hadestown is brilliant, and it reminds me of Hamilton in a lot of ways, but it has more of a Jazzy vibe. It's also about Greek myths, which is awesome, though it's a little dark. Six is another fun one that has more modern music, and is about the six wives of Henry the eighth(I think it's the eight, that might be wrong. It was one of the kings who had a lot of wives.)
In no way do you have to follow up on these, but I figured I'd let you know. If you do check them out, I'd love to hear your thoughts. :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! This is a fantastic piece! Your tone is beautiful and extremely relatable, like always. I felt so identified, sometimes in Spanish that happens to me where I wish the word existed in English or vice versa. Anyways, this is amazing!!
