Hello, As I start my 32nd year of life, I wanted to reflect on the 31st year of my life. 31 was a life-changing year, and I spent some time yesterday, on the day of my birth, reflecting on where I was last year during this time. It was the start of so many new…
#288 A world in a world
A world that makes me feel so insignificant yet I am even more insignificant the larger scale. I am an ant in a ginormous universe and possibly smaller than an ant. When I die, it will mean nothing to the larger scale of the universe. But, here we are, fighting to get noticed on this…
#284 Morning Prayers
I have been trying to establish new habits to incorporate into my weekly routine. One of the most challenging habits is trying to wake up for morning prayer. The time for morning prayer changes based on the time that the sunrises. So, the first week it was around 5:25 a.m., but now that I am…
#283 Good Evening
Good Evening, I have missed you so much, but needed a much-needed break from writing the blog. I felt burnt out, and nothing I wrote for the blog made me feel good. It all just felt negative. I miss the act of creating, so I decided to shift gears to a different art form. I…
Bla Bla Land:Chapter 50
I was over entertainment studios and the grind culture. At the same time, I felt like, "Frshta, you are lucky to even have a job in the industry." I wanted to grow and to do more. I started to take off all the stuff from my work wall. All of it. Everyone started to question…
#280 acceptance
Happy Wednesday, reader, As usual, I am tired. Moreover, I feel unmotivated. I have been thinking a lot about what I want to accomplish, and I haven’t. Is it sad that I don’t even care anymore? I have accepted that I won’t become a famous director or writer. I have accepted that I won’t write…
#279
Good evening everyone. I am tired, but I am okay. It is the day before the last day of Ramadan. This Ramadan has been something else. I started the month feeling disconnected from God and not feeling the blessings of Ramadan. It made me sad because I love the spiritual ness of Ramadan. I decided…
Bla Bla Land: Chapter 48
Knowledge is true confidence. The more I learned about my role, the more confidence I had. I learned how to use File Maker Pro and different casting websites. A couple of months later, they decided to switch up the teams. This was after my producer, and I had a tiff over casting. Like all work…
#278 peace
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…
