Moments that made me feel this week. My therapist and I tried a new form of therapy. We were actually just goofing around but it felt good. I told him how sometimes I like to sing about my problems in the car. Sometimes it’s the only way I can express myself. I’ve only sang about…
#197 Afghanistan
Afghanistan has always been a war torn country. Growing up, I was always afraid to tell people about my heritage because of the 9/11 attacks. At the same time, I couldn’t lie either because it felt morally wrong. As soon as I would say, “I am Afghan,” there was a lot of questions being asked…
#196 a full bathtub
My best friend gifted me a bath bomb and I’ve never used one before. Believe it or not I don’t really like to take bathes because they take a lot of time and I’m usually on the run. A nice hot shower usually does it for me. Oh and I also hate how when I…
#195 an empty bathtub
I sat in my empty bathtub. After fighting back tears multiple times in the day, for the sake of being called emotional. I finally let myself sob. I sobbed silently so that nobody else can hear me. It was one of those days that even the slightest thing was going to set me off. After…
#194 creativity and feelings
Being creative is such a gift. It’s something that we all have in ourselves but I think it takes a lot of courage to actually be creative. There was a time in my life that I had so much fire in me. I was on a roll. I had a full-time demanding job and I…
#193 ocean & moon
Mom The ocean is magical. Think about it. The ocean is 75% water and we have only discovered 80%. I like to take my mom to the beach a couple times a month. I never liked the beach when I was younger but lately, I have been enjoying it. At first, it was an act…
#192 authenticity
Here I am attempting to be an influencer at a cool coffee shop …epic fail. Lol enjoy. I have been attempting to study coffee shops around the valley for a while now. I have noticed a recurring trend amongst successful coffee shops. The biggest trend of all is that I don’t feel like I fit…
#191 truth
*After I wrote some of this blog, I told myself that I don’t want to post it. I was ashamed of it. I was ashamed of my failures. Still, I kept writing. I thought maybe I can share this with my therapist. Once I finished writing it, I changed my mind. This is part of…
#190 Phoebe from Friends
I happen to come across a clip of Lisa Kudrow aka Phoebe from Friends. I have never been a Friends fan but this speech resonated with me. Guide posts have been my life. I hope I am as lucky as Lisa Kudrow. Feel free to watch. The crazy thing is that she gave this speech…
#189 c’est la vie
Perfection. I was called perfect for the first time in my existence. What a word...perfect. It was sincere. An old man with two kids and a wife. No intentions. He saw perfection. What a moment it was for me. My eyes became misty. No one has ever said this to me. He said, "if I…
