I would like to start off by admitting that the title of this post is a bit misleading. Social media is a broad term encompassing different social networks and websites. For instance, I still have my Tumblr and Twitter accounts and a few other social media applications that I seldom use and maintain. For the [...]
Something profound happened to me the other day and I don't think I'll ever see or experience the feeling of fear the same way ever again. You see, for the most part of my life I lived in fear. The fear of moving to another country at a young and impressionable age. The fear of [...]
Assalam alaykum my beautiful people. I pray you are all doing well and most importantly are keeping safe; the omicron variant is not playing at all. My son's first birthday is in a couple of days (most likely the day after this post will be published on my blog) and I'm feeling a lot nostalgic [...]
The other day I was having dinner with my husband at our family dining table, when my thoughts drifted away to one of the things I was yet to cross out from my to-do list. I was deeply lost in thought and unconsciously started to play with the food on my plate, when I felt [...]

This post is dedicated to one of my lovely readers who made the kind request to write on the matter. I imagine she is going through a tough time at the moment and its why I pushed myself to get this content out as quickly and as early as possible. Unrequited love is no doubt [...]
If you know me well then you know that I am an extremely picky person and picky people are not exactly the easiest people to deal with or to hang out with (largely due to the fact that they have very fixed and definitive choices and their minds cannot be easily changed). To better understand [...]
