I Got Rid of Most of My Clothes, and I Feel Free! *Cackles in Sméagol*
﷽ ☺︎ For a while now, my life has been feeling like utter chaos. Not the kind of chaos where I have so many things happening all at once that I feel overwhelmed. Rather, it’s the kind where I feel like my focus and attention has splintered across many different things, and some of those…

What Is Love?
﷽ ☺︎ I’m very much not a nostalgic person, though I’ve lately been thinking about how love has presented itself to me in every relationship I’ve ever had. I don’t know… maybe it’s because I’m getting older that I feel this strong urge to contemplate the ways love has come to me. I’m nothing if…

Hi I’d Like to Order Some Thoughts with a Side of Self-Loathing
﷽ ☺︎ Hello, dear reader. I didn’t feel like writing today, but I still have to stick to the schedule I created for this blog. I’ve been using my Notes app these days to collect random thoughts I’ve been having, so I thought: “since I don’t have the energy to write a full, coherent article,…

Eid Mubarak! I Prayed Next to an Auntie I Blocked Last Year & It Was Awkward
﷽ ☺︎ Hey guys! Happy Eid ul-Adha. This year, I walked to the place I pray Eid prayer every year. I made it on time, alhamdulilah. A few minutes after I got there, everyone got up for the prayer, so I think it’s fair to say that I was a couple of minutes early. I…

How Are You Doing? Busy! How’s Life? Busy! What Did You Do This Week? Busy! Did You Eat Today? Busy!
﷽ ☺︎ Let me be absolutely honest: I’m the type to leave things where they are then frantically try to get them done at the very last minute. I like the feeling of adrenaline rushing through my body from doing that. But that’s not how life has been for the past few months. I didn’t…

My Appetite for This World? GONE!
﷽ ☺︎ Life could be going well for me, when all of a sudden… BAM! Something unsavoury happens that reminds me to never get too comfortable in this world. The Prophet S.A.W was onto something when he advised us to be in this world as wayfarers. The closest thing that reminds me of wayfarers are…

How Do You Deal with a Person Who Has Been Wronging You Indefinitely?
﷽ ☺︎ There are two kinds of people in this world: the explosive kind, and the forbearing kind. Everyone likes to think that they’re the second type, but… not everyone was gifted with the self-awareness needed to realize that they’re actually not the forbearing kind. Of course, I do like to think that I’m the…

I’ve Been Focusing My Energy on Myself, Not on K-Dramas
﷽ ☺︎ Deep down, I always knew I had an unhealthy, over-excessive, and obsessive attachment to my laptop and watching movies, tv shows, and Korean dramas. Over the years, it switched from being a deep attachment to an addiction. I’d spend days on bed, just binge-watching and rewatching one k-drama/movie/tv-show after another. It was a…

I Woke up & Chose Positivity This Morning
﷽ ☺︎ As soon as I open my eyes and my day starts, I begin to think of the ways my life isn’t going right and how I’m not doing what I need to do to fix them. I even consider the amount of years I’ve spent learning to choose better for myself so that…

I Love My Current Timeline the Most, but Something’s Telling Me That I Should Reach for More
﷽ ☺︎ I have never felt more aligned with who I am than I currently do. Up until now, I have always felt that there has been a mismatch; who I was externally did not always match up to who I was internally. But now, I’m doing things I genuinely enjoy doing. No one is…
