Bubbles

My horrible choice to stay up way too late is catching up to me. Little sleep plus fasting is not doing me any favors, i just wanna lay down. My exam is in abt an hr and a half and im not feeling good abt it. I tried studying last night and this morning but all the information i dont know makes my stomach hurt. 

But anyways, since i posted my first post ive just been bubbling with ideas abt what to write next. I spend so much of my time ruminating that i have too much to say, too much ive analyzed abt myself, life, etc. I think posting on this blog will allow my thoughts to be freed from my noggin so i dont have to think abt them anymore, done and over with. 

What inspired me to start this blog was stalking my family members' blogs. I saw a new side of them that i never knew existed. Its hard to think of someone as a fully fleshed out human when youve only interacted with them on a friendly level. I learned that at my age they had so many of the same thoughts that ive had. I really felt less alone. 

I know im all over the place but thats just how this blog is prolly gonna go. All my journal entries is just me free writing whatever comes to mind and im going to treat this blog just the same. 

I really should be studying right now... or take a nap idk. But i just needed to say that i have a lot more to post. Writing into the void is a lot better than keeping it in my head. 

P.s. i have nothing to say here but i feel like putting something at the bottom

P.p.s okay i have an idea, ill just describe a memory that i think abt often. 

Being at my gma's house during an Eid, i cant describe it but outside was weird to me. It was the middle of the day but it felt like one long morning. We had came back from a program or something and i had a gift bag. For some reason we didnt go right inside but we stayed on the big steps and i took in the odd-feeling day.


update on the exam: i may be fasting but i ate that exam UPP (i think, i'll have to wait for the results lol)

update update: i got a 90 :)

On Hardships and Ease

I was reading this book "The Message" by Ta-Nehisi Coates and I was surprised to find that I related to a lot of things he was saying about himself. Both in his past and things that I want to do that he has done. I was thinking that he is me but in another universe. In the second chapter he was saying how in school he would do great on tests, but his behavior didnt match. He was always asking 'why' and thought outside the box. And I agree with him that secular learning taught in schools only prepare one to be an obedient worker in the context of capitalism. But I am the prime example of this. I've always been the 'good one' in class, quiet and obedient. Never asking questions let alone asking 'why?'. I admire how he always wants to know the reason behind things, thought in ways unexpected of him, and questioned the things he was told. It's a type of intelligence that I aim to achieve. That critical thinking instead of blind obedience.  But that...

Readings II

  2 posts in 24hrs ??? who is this ??? Some books I've been really into: 1) Invisible Man- I read this book a couple months ago and I still think about it almost daily. I read the first chapter in one of my first yrs of college and I've always wanted to read the full thing but I felt like I wasn't competent enough to fully grasp it. It was a fairly hard read because it was just so jam-packed with metaphors and symbolism but it was worth it brain power. I couldn't wait to finish the book just so that I could do research on it that unpacks all the symbolism I might have missed. And I loved the development of the characters like how the author represents the different mentalities of black people during that time from Dr. Bledsoe's "White is Right" to the veteran's more "woke" approach. . It's just such a great book. Definite 10/10 I can't wait to read it again. 2) Things Fall Apart- Another book that got me thinking about it months after...

Fortified

  fortified  adjective   for·​ti·​fied :  made stronger or more secure   I don't know why but the word "fortified" has kept coming up in my mind lately. Whenever I think about my progress in my mental health, that word comes up. I feel fortified. This morning I was just thinking about how many things Allah has aligned for me to feel this way. With finally feeling secure in my living situation and getting help from my therapist, I feel like I finally have the strength and tools to live my life.  Some of the things that attributed to my fortification were: 1-moving: I don't plan on moving from this place anytime soon. The only reason I would is if this house is destroyed or I get married, so I feel so secure and don't feel rushed or that I need to find some other place to live 2-work: I'm not trying to "get through" school or anything, I made it.  Work has made me realize that there is more to life than school and work. I was itching to change my ro...
