Five months into this year, and it feels like a haze. At the same time, it feels as though I’ve aged a hundred years in these past five months alone.

The amount of trauma I’ve experienced — personally, and collectively as an Iranian — is enough for a hundred lifetimes. If you’ve never had to live through what Iranians have been feeling and enduring for the past 47 years, and especially this year, I envy you. I envy a life where the biggest anguish of the day is deciding where to buy lunch or what to wear to an event this weekend.

Iranians wake to the news of yet another ex*****on carried out at dawn, to the sound of the morning prayer. Death after death after death. Lives destroyed. Futures shattered. And perhaps the most devastating part is feeling like no one gives a s**t.

I’ve lost countless friendships this year. I’ve felt isolated from people I once felt deeply connected to.

But like the lotus flower that blooms from the mud, I’m finding my way back to myself. I’ve always done this through the practice of breath and movement — through the practice of coming home to myself.

Even as the practice invites me to sit and breathe through my anger and sadness, I let my anger move me into action, wherever I can find that action. Fighting for another day.

I refuse to lose hope.

Norouz (New Year) is not the same for Iranians this year.

The past year has been one of the most horrific in Iran’s history. In January alone, we lost more than 40,000 beautiful souls — many of them so young, they had not yet tasted the joys of life. In the cold of winter, Iran laid to rest some of its bravest and most courageous people.

Now, with the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year, we hold on to hope — hope that the blood of our youth has not been spilled in vain, and hope for a free, peaceful, and prosperous Iran.

نوروز امسال برای ایرانیان مثل سال‌های دیگر نیست.

سال گذشته یکی از تلخ‌ترین و هولناک‌ترین سال‌ها در تاریخ ایران بود. تنها در ماه ژانویه، بیش از ۴۰ هزار روح زیبا را از دست دادیم — بسیاری از آن‌ها آن‌قدر جوان بودند که هنوز طعم شادی‌های زندگی را نچشیده بودند. در سرمای زمستان، ایران شجاع‌ترین و دلیرترین فرزندان خود را به خاک سپرد.

اکنون با آمدن بهار و آغاز سالی نو، به امید دل بسته‌ایم — امید به اینکه خون جوانان‌مان بیهوده ریخته نشده باشد، و امید به ایرانی آزاد، آرام و سربلند.

What I wish for on the precipice of the Persian new year, norouz is for Iran to be rid of the Islamic republic. I wish for Iranians to live freely with dignity and without fear. I wish prosperity for the beautiful land of Iran and calmer days.

بماند اینجا به یادگاری …
It’s been 7 days since khamenei is gone!

I didn’t want to make a dancing video because my country is still burning in a war that Islamic republic is forcing upon it, then I remembered On the night of khameneis death , a 22 year old girl from khoram abad was shut dead on the streets for celebrating the death of the dictator.

Dancing for us is a form of resistance.
Living with joy is a form of resistance.

Iranian spirit cannot be broken by this ter&rist regime.

So I dance on his grave although he still doesn’t have one.

When Iran is free we will have the biggest street carnival the world has seen and we will dance for all our fallen angles.
