Like a Knight

So we have been in an unstable spirit lately. Emotions are all over the place. I can’t name them exactly or maybe I am just scared to label them because then I will realize what feelings they truly are and why I have them. I’m in bed ready to sleep, but still on my phone and saw a post that says; “Turn it into art”. So here we are. I have established now that my art is through words. Lol. I like…

Last year I read Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman’s The Daily Stoic. (Google defines Stoic as a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining and a member of the ancient philosophical school of Stoicism) It was a year of daily meditations on wisdom, perseverance, and the art of living. Everyday last year I dedicated my time to read it daily before…

Another month full of sh*t and glory. Most nights left me wondering if tomorrow would come and nothing would change. The longing for something that never happened lingers. The terrifying thought of maybe our tolerance is subpar, but the ache takes a new shape and forms a new body that’s gone boring.

Minimalism is a lifestyle template that looks different from person to person. Our priorities and what we consider essential to our circumstances directly affect how we define minimalism. Yet minimalism at its core, means keeping what adds value and removing what does not. Here, I will share areas where I practice my version of minimalism. I am single without kids and live in a flat with…

My stupid ass ft. scammer dude who took 17K aed from me. Storytime! Around 4 pm today, I just came back from my house-to-house trip distributing gifts from my company to the patients. Ate my lunch and was just in a purely sleepy, tired, and dehydrated state. I received a call from this number +971563800529, appearing Al Dolphin Al Abyadh Deli, that I won 150,000 aed plus an iPhone from Al Ansari…

ON ONE MONDAY AFTERNOON

Went out and sat in a coffee shop and read today. It was nice mainly because of the weather which gave me a bit more of a reason to go out. I always opt to stay in and do my thing alone within the four corners of my so-called home. Though there are days that I manage to be out without any real purpose, it’s a habit I think often I missed out for the reason that I am just too exhausted to walk…

July In My Heart

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you but it is not. It is an essential truth. Only those capable of being alone are capable of loving, sharing, and going into the deepest core of the other person; without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without being addicted to the other. – Osho

Howdy! Let us get personal. I felt sedentary in 2021. Last year was a bit weighty. I wanted healing, newness, change, and growth and nothing worked. We were living in a much strange way of interacting with life. For me, it led to a withdrawal of old, unhealthy habits. I recently just turned 34. I promised myself for the upcoming days to embrace newness every single day. I will explore a new…

READ WITH ME: 2022 READING LIST

Reading is an incredible tool to help us grow, reframe our thinking by learning new things and sometimes transports us to a whole new world. I started to like reading first a few years back to improve my English writing and grammar. Today, I opted to read more if I want to know about anything that interests me.   This list is not a crazy goal of how many books I can read in a year, but merely the…

THE LAST 30 DAYS IN A PHOTO DUMP

The last 30 days was a pure act of self-care. Went for multiple rounds of decluttering physical things, digital and mental. My main goal for taking a break is to ground me or to calm me for the past 12 months was violent so to speak. And that I am truly grateful for the opportunity to reflect on so many things going on around me and within myself. I slept for a total of 15 days (I’d like to…
