I do not classify myself as a writer, deep down I just have a lot of thoughts that I feel the need to put out there. Originally, I intended blogging about my life outside of religion and what being a Muslim meant to me, finding the basic principle behind every experience and then relating these two things because in the real sense they can't be apart right? It dawned on me that, writing that way would just be an expression of one aspect of my life. The one that wants to teach, impact and literally help you do the thinking so you'd get that behind everything that might seem complicated, there's a very very simple principle at work. I think it's basically first daughter complex😅.  "Wouldn't that make it seem like I've got my life together" , I thought. When in reality I am still trying to make sense of what this life is really all about. We are all out here hustling, struggling, trying to be a daughter/son, brother/sister, friend, partner, s...

17/03/23 DAILY WRITING PROMPT✨

-
Image
 A short paragraph beginning with “On this journey…”💕 On this journey, I have stepped into life.  Life that exists beyond humans.  It’s the trees in their consciousness. It’s the wind, moving round the world bearing with it fragrances from lands far away. It’s the rain, It’s the seas. It’s the insects, scurrying around in their own world, seemingly little to the human eye but the harmony they possess begs to differ. It’s the mountains, standing tall and magnificent.  It’s the clouds, the truest thing.  I have learnt that within me is the universe and that I belong to no society or caste in particular, but to this stupendous work of art that tells me daily how I’m no small entity and that I am a small entity at the same time.  “Everything is ecstasy within”, she said.  I couldn’t agree more, because on this journey, everything is perfection💕.

DAILY WRITING PROMPT✨

It’s been more than a minute 🤩. Thank you for visiting again, I hope you’ve been doing amazing✨ I recently joined a writers club to challenge myself, especially to put out more stuff. Even if I don’t eventually write more on my own, these daily writing prompts would have succeeded in making me write a thing or two at least✨. This write up was for 15/03/2023. Cold Hearts and Heated Floors💕. It’s an irony don’t you think, cold hearts and heated floors. Thaw, thaw, thaw every time I take a step. But I’m going to need a lot more convincing dear feet   Perhaps if I lay down on these floors I could get a feel  Decide if I wanna remain as I am or finally give warmth a try  The cold hurts you dear feet I understand, you’ve been there. It’s perfect for me tho, unrelenting, unforgiving, unwavering. Just my type.  Maybe I’m scared,  Maybe I’m shy,  Maybe I’m worried I’d fall in love with the warmth just as you have and I’ll lose myself again.  I’m going to choo...

It's been more than a minute. I hope you have always found a reason to smile regardless of what storm you have had to weather 😀. Maybe you have, maybe you haven't, here's a reminder tho; Smile beautiful one, the world needs more of your magic.  Have you always believed in yourself, your power, your strength, even when the odds are clearly stacked against you or are you crazy, like me. Little miss "I can't" , "I could never'. Every other person around you could each come up with a 100 reasons why you are the perfect one for the role, or why you will excel beautifully at that project, or why you, my dear are doing amazing at that job, but you are especially gifted at coming up with a million reasons for each 100 why "it could never be you". Like "can't you guys see it's IMPOSSIBLE!"  I'm not going to ask you to BELIEVE!, to GIVE YOURSELF SOME CREDIT! even though you clearly need to but I agree it's going ...

LUXURY HUH

For as long as I've come to know Rahmat, she's been a settler👍. This spanned every aspect of my life. You had plans to go out and you suddenly cancel, she's got no issues. There's only one piece of cake left and the both of you want it, she's fine with not having it. I follow rules to the latter because I really didn't see beyond boundaries and tbh I dared not look beyond.  I had convinced myself that little is just enough and oh boy did I become super comfortable that even the tiniest of gestures outside what I know as the standard seemed extra and unnecessary. So I am very used to not going the extra mile for anything, I go with whatever falls on my plate and that's it. " You mean they are serving a three course meal over there? wow, good for them I'll just eat my jollof rice 😌 ". I had translated this to being "humble" and "content" and even used to flex that whenever I go shopping I don't walk the entir...

DEAR TINY VOICE, I'M LISTENING...

POV Your friend is talking about this new show she started to watch, she's obviously so excited about it and you appear to be listening. Friend : I sincerely didn't see it coming guyyy R: Huh?  I'm pretty certain we've all being in a situation like this, countless times in fact. Becoming aware that there's in fact a voice within always trying to tell me something feels exactly how it feels to be called back to reality after I've completely zoned out. Now I'm like, "wait! for how long you been there??" The last week of December 2021 was a very emotional one cause it really felt like I received all of the lessons the year has been trying to teach me live and direct during that week and that led me to the utmost realization that to be honest nothing would actually ever happen to me or any human in fact except that you are to pick up significant lessons from it. I'll liken it to a treasure hunt, pick up your clues so you would know whe...
