I've been watching Modest Street channel on youtube. It's of a woman who does hijab styling and makeup. She is a revert to Islam and I had watched her revert story and it kind of got into me how I lavishly spent my time doing nothing and this lady, searched for the truth and right direction and I don't know but something about her face, her way of perceiving things motivated me. I want what she has. She looks so peaceful in what she's preaching. It is not like she hasn't got problems in her life. I mean she has five kids to take care and from her social media, I am assuming she's separated with her husband but she doesn't go whining about her personal life instead she puts on an inspiring face toward life and that is something.

I feel like I have gotten very personal because I've been religiously watching her daily snapchat stories and she is super active in it, she batters a lot. She also speaks in sylhoti accent ( She is half gujrati and half kenyan, her husband was from Bangladesh) so I find it very funny when she talks in Bangla, better than us locals. And I got to say, I am now hooked in her channel and I have also decided to reconnect with my  religion, seek what she has sought and found peace in.

Through her videos she taught me, whatever is making you feel troubled at heart right this moment, the first thing is to accept it. Not accepting the problem and being in constant denial, creates more problems.

I wish I could say how much I am obsessed with her now. She is like a god sent angel. I feel so positive after watching her day to day videos. :)

 Some thoughts. Our old generation glorified selfless acts to the point that they started calling putting themselves first as: 'selfish.'  To a certain period of time, I have also followed this pattern.  I thought taking care of me is selfish.  Where taking care of me is fundamental.  You cannot pour out of a cup, which is empty.  So pour yourself first.   I have to unlearn so many of these toxic patterns because these have made my life only miserable and problematic. I am learning that evolving is crucial for living with inner peace.  These days, I value so much about inner peace.  I'll choose it over others anytime, and it is not selfish. It is in fact for greater good.

An origin story

Dear Blog. Thank you for giving me space to write. Although in this world, where cloud technology prevails, there is no worrying about it. But hey,I, thank you for storing my thoughts. Stupid, meaningless thoughts. I assure you, I will keep coming back. I know since coming home from the residential semester, I've been a bit distracted. I've been posting things, I felt vague about. I used to write things effortlessly. I never forced myself to type up things, experiences or events. All these posts have been posted because they contributed to my daily life and I had to write them up before they slowly fade away from my memory. And some things I didn't make a post about as some things were better to be forgotten and removed from the past. Mind that. Dear Blog, I created you almost four years ago. These four years, I've kept you posted. Maybe some days. I didn't because you know why. Those days I felt blue and couldn't get up from bed. But you learned my stor...

spring is almost here

Hi B,  Season is changing. The hard days are almost over.  The city I live in has turned so beautiful, I get overwhelmed by the beauty.  Tulips are in. Cherry blossoms are blossoming.  Magnolia, Beautiful white flowers, name unknown to me.  Taking a walk out feels like a celebration of life.  It feels like I'm falling in love with the city.  I remember when I first moved here 2 years ago, the excitement and the crippling anxiety of starting a new life from scratch. Now, after 2 years, I feel a warmth and love for the place.  I don't know if I would feel the same when the winter comes though. Seasonal depression is no joke.  My new mantra for life now is to chill.  Praise the nature and find pretty little corners in the city.  Write poems.  Paint, maybe.  Seek positivity.  Love. Be kind to self. No rush. Read books. Just flow.
