    Vibes

    I'd thought it would be cool to show how a day in my life goes when I have a decor set up on my schedule. I'm kind of a boring person so nothing wild lol. I enjoy calming days.

    Why I Deleted My (personal) Instagram

    You know how people say, “social media isn’t for everyone”? I’m really one of those people. If it wasn’t for the overwhelming feeling to want to share what I’ve been making, or share the random thoughts I sometimes have, nobody would ever know I existed. Yet despite this “overwhelming feeling” (I am too scared to say love) there is something about that app that doesn’t sit right in my spirit. Not if, but when Maybe this was just me, but did you ever come across people on your timeline, who seem like they have it all together, or are extremely skilled at what they do, and just say “damn… I…

    The Beauty of Islam: Lowering the Gaze

    The Time I Swapped My Iphone for a Pink Bedazzled Flip Phone

    I feel like there comes a point in everyones lives when they need to just go. You know? Just go. I was this close (🤏🏾) to taking a train to the alpines and becoming a sheep herder, but I couldn't really do that so I opted for getting a flip phone, which is basically the same thing.....

    Detaching myself from my Ideas

    As I make small steps towards my dream life, I never realized how much emotional intelligence is required to succeed in a project. When thinking of terms like success or endurance, I always defined it as pushing yourself to the limit, exerting yourself and your body, all-nighters, but it’s not true at all. There is a lot of patience involved, a lot of moments of nothing happening. The process requires you to be a lot calmer & calculated for you to do well.   One tip I heard that I really have been trying to implement is the concept of detaching yourself from your ideas. Meaning not defining yourself or your…
