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.…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 47
Patricia and I had an interview in Culver City, which went great. She said I reminded her of herself. She loved my different job experiences and thought it would be valuable in this type of job. She asked me a question. I can't remember what it was, but I answered, "I don't know." She loved…
#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…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 46
Alright, so January of 2016 left me wondering what my next steps will be in my career. To my surprise, the toy store stayed open for one more year. The landlord couldn’t find another tenant. I was annoyed. Here I was, trying to figure out how I would pay my bills and take on odd…
#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…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 45
Last week on Bla Bla Land, I described the chaos of my life right after I finished college. I was an intern at a company that would be perfect for me. I juggled multiple jobs, an internship class, and my father's heart attack. I mentioned in my previous blog that I picked up a season…
#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…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 44
I only had a few weeks left at Blumhouse since I was heading toward the head of the semester, which meant the end of the internship. I wasn’t doing a good job keeping up with my internship class, which I had to take to intern. I was pretty done with school mentally since I graduated…
#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…
