Couldnt sleep last night; today I fast Ashura
Aren’t we all just broken and alone? Grasping at things to fill the empty shells we embody with things like going out, hobbies, books and TV? I’ve been up all night reading an entire novel, not knowing why I can’t fall asleep. It’s because I see everyone around me in pain, physical or emotional. I […]

Storytime: I broke my favorite mug today 😢
Hi. How are you doing today? I guess lately I’ve foregone the “welcome to my blog”. It feels too formal. I just…I don’t want to be negative and complain here. This is my safe space. This is also the place I’m supposed to inspire and motivate. On the outside, my life looks relatively good. I […]

Parenting moments
Is it wrong that I don’t share much of the news with my son? Maybe because I don’t watch the news myself, but also because I couldn’t explain it if I wanted to. I also don’t want him to feel cynical of humanity like I have become. I have told my son about the wars […]

Are you a talker or a listener?
It’s been 3 days since my last post. I’ve been in a negative headspace. Yesterday was nice, though. My mom and sisters got back from Turkey and brought me unexpected gifts. But I wake up every day and read novels on my phone for hours, and then I close the binds so I can sleep. […]

Grateful for moments of happiness
These days, it’s a rare occurrence for me to feel inner peace. I’m restless and cynical about everything and anyone. Ready to vent at the 1st sign of discontent. So disappointed with the loved ones I can’t bear to be in the same room with them. But there are moments, even hours, that go on […]

One more shot of Dopamine
Hello reader and welcome to my blog! I haven’t written a poem in a while, but this one just flew out of my brain yesterday. I’ve been overwhelmed by everything going on with me and around me, and since my body is sensitive to stress, I’ve been indulging in tv shows, unrealistic romance novels, and […]

Storytime: How it feels to be 30 years old
Hello everyone! How are you? Today is my 30th birthday, and for some reason, I’m having a totally lazy day. I didn’t drink my coffee or eat anything until 11 am. I just stayed in bed, reading a novel on my phone. Then I got up, showered, drank coffee, and ate a piece of cake. […]
