In honor of the spooky season, I want to share with you a truly scary story. I am the youngest of six siblings. I have four brothers and one sister. Since I was a little girl, I was intrigued by scary stories, especially true stories. As a teacher, I’ve noticed that children have this attraction…
#203 I am a fucking artist.
I have wanted to write a blog about my personal goals, but I have been putting it off each week. Other topics seemed more interesting. I think I am ready to write about this. A lot of times, I prefer not to tell anyone about what my goals are. First, I am afraid of getting…
#201 spoken word poetry
***I spent my days last week listening to spoken word poetry by Rupi Kaur. To my surprise, I was gifted her new book later in the week. Strange right? (Thank you Joanna). Synchronizing is what my therapist calls it. Enjoy this random spoken word poem. Kind of want to do an open mic night soon…

#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…

#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. The last couple of days of Ramadan were extremely stressful and Eid was the same. I am not going to get into it because its…
#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…
