What happens to you when you are scared? For me, it depends on the type of scared. There are different version of scared in my head. Sometimes I loose the feeling to my arms and legs for a couple of second. Sometimes my body shakes slightly. Sometimes its hard to breathe. Sometimes I can't speak.…
#155 A Hobbit’s Party.
A knock on the door and a hobbit hole. A grey bearded wizard appears by the name of Gandalf the Grey. With a walking stick and a mighty tan. Subtle music in the background making me sleepy. I look around and there is Sam the Wise in his brown cape hiding in a corner. Merry…
#154 happy 28 birthday to me.
28 June 5, 1992 is my birthday. My 28th birthday lands on a Friday this year. What a memorable year this has been so far. Although it has been a tough 6 months, it has still had its blessings. I feel extremely blessed and grateful to have friends and family that want to celebrate. They…
#153 George Floyd
Every time the news airs the clip on how George Floyd was murdered I have to look away. It hurts to much to watch. Tonight the clip came on as I was watching the news with my family. I could hear George struggling and I wanted to cry. It's not fair that he was killed.…
#152 Is motivation a lie?
It has been a crazy couple of weeks. First off, Ramadan finished. Right after Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid, which is essentially our Christmas. Unfortunately, Eid was not the most festive.

#151 Dear Hillary Clinton
Dear Hillary Clinton, I know you will probably never read this letter, yet I still wanted to write to you. Maybe some day you will come across this casual ramble even though you probably get so many letters. How did you handle being bullied by Donald Trump? How did America choose a President that treats…
#150 alone
There is something about empty streets in the middle of the night. Street lights shining in the dark as the street lights change from green, yellow and red. I can't help but enjoy the the quiet of the streets and the glowing of the street lights. It reminds me of the Notebook, when Ally and…

#148 life update
I can’t believe quarantine has last so long. Today, I listened to this song called Ghengis Khan in the car. The first time I heard this song was the first week of quarantine. My sister and I loved the music video and were trying to learn the dance moves. That feels like such a long…
#125 hanging in there
I’ve been volunteering for LAUSD food services. We hand out meals to the families in need of them. Today, at my location, we handed out almost 1,500 meals. It was ALOT. I am a little scared about volunteering because I am scared that it’s going to put my family at risk. At the same time,…
