Happy Wednesday, everyone! I am exhausted. I can barely open my eyes, but I didn't want to skip a blog post. It has been a trying week, but I have been handling it. I have been self-talking myself all week. I keep telling myself to find peace through all the turmoil. PEACE. What a word.…
#277 feelings
Feelings I have so many of them. I have not felt 100 percent this Ramadan. I am mentally off some days. I have kept myself centered through the chaos. I understand that things can be out of my control, and I must accept that. So what is bursting my bubble and causing this unbalancedness while…
#276 hurdles
It is a blessing to have eyes that can see this beautiful world. After a very long time, I did not post last week's Wednesday blog. I was too tired emotionally and physically to write; instead, I decided to rest. It was a very stressful week, and my body paid for it. I was due…
#275 procrastinated rant
Okay, I have procrastinated enough on writing tonight's blog. You must be thinking, why? Don't you love to write? Isn't that why you write for the blog in the first place? You are right. I love to write. I love this blog. I just get overwhelmed by my overwhelming mind. I have so much I…
#274 shifting through life
The beauty of life. Who was the first to utter those words? I am sure it wasn’t me. It leads back to anything original anymore? Or, are we living in a world where the same concepts are thrown around in hopes of a different reaction or maybe in hopes of the same response? Have we…
#273 garbage
Describe the last difficult "goodbye" you said. Yesterday, I was driving to work, and a thought came into my mind. My mother commented the day before about some women in our extended family. She mentioned that they are very much "Afghani" women and are not trying to act American. I was confused by her comment…
#272 under pressure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_RyzmQljQ8 Favorite song this week! Heads up, this blog is EVERYWHERE. Taking the pressure off of myself has been life-changing. I sometimes catch myself putting the pressure back on myself, but I stop myself. I need to train myself and unlearn this bad habit to form new healthy habits. I have an all-or-nothing mentality sometimes.…
#271 tired
Random truck Hi readers, I am tired but I wanted to post. Here are some photos of this past weekend. It has been a long week. Washroom in a random cafe Valentine's Day seems to be all week this week. It is not easy being a server during these types of holidays. So many people.…
# 270 calm chaos
My spirit was challenged this weekend. It was a very chaotic weekend. There was so much chaos in my home, and it was fogging up my mind. I want to learn to be at peace even amongst the chaos because this past weekend, I let my mind indulge in it, which was not healthy. It…
#269 a wonderful life
I had a wonderful weekend full of friends, good food, and exploring. Of course, there were some hiccups. It started with loud construction in the house because my father was renovating the roof and the driveway. The banging started on the roof at 7am on a Saturday morning. I was tired and cold. Since the…
