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 lovelies! I put up a poll on my instagram story a while ago and asked if you guys would like me to share an updated list of my current favourite things and 100% of those of you that voted said yes. It warms my heart to know that a number of you enjoy [...]
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 [...]

I met love. It looked like the sunset in the horizon. It was bright, burning and beautiful. It had the elegance of the moon and the softness of the Cuban wind. It had a laugh that was echoed by the seven seas and a fresh scent that was concealed in every atom of the air. [...]
Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese concept and it means finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay. It is the appreciation of things that are imperfect, impermanent, incomplete, unrefined and unconventional; an aesthetic I wish every child is brought up with. Have you heard of the word kintsukuroi?
