It's basically past midnight and I must say, I am beyond sleepy. I guess this was a result of my utter bored self one night. Despite it being for random reasons, I happen to quite like this quote. There are so many boundaries and limitations we subconsciously place upon ourselves, only to later blame others for imprinting them in our lives. Our minds, our soul, our heart; that's our greatest war, a challenge we deny ourselves from winning. Sometimes, I would unknowingly set the standards so high for myself that I end up blaming others for setting it for me. I am my hardest critic, my stubbornest friend, my irrational partner, my foolish decisions and my high expectations. I believe that no individual will judge you as harshly as you will judge yourself, every good and every bad is seen more vividly through our own eyes. Nothing seems to be wrong with being our hardest critic or standard, this helps us grow and prosper out of our flaws to change for the better. Amazing peopl...

When all plans fail. For some horrid reason, I have been happening to fail at all set goals recently. I feel as though an overwhelming fear has leaped within me, one I cannot possibly grasp without having to lose myself. My productivity levels happen to be quite conveniently low, adding to my low state of self. It's not as though I'm undergoing depression or so, just amongst the days whereby I feel that I have been wasteful of time and very unproductive. Well, no use complaining over it, I mean the new day shall begin soon and all the pages will turn, a new beginning; or so. Goodnight guys! *well awkward if nobody actually reads this other than myself!*

There's always something that makes each of us content. Something that we have and it just cannot stop the smile beam on our face. I feel so grateful for all the things I have been blessed with. My life has flaws, but the flaws have perfection in them. I used to sit and ponder over my blog posts before, how can I write to make people interested? But sometimes it's the best once you believe in your words and give it the power it deserves by letting it flow at its own pace. It amazes me how people can change in such a short course of time. I never thought my life would quite end up this way. I had my future all thought out. But the precision of the moments of change is simply beautiful. Its about being true to yourself not because its what is expected. Let your future flow in its way. Don't hold back.

Palestine. Israel. War. Genocide. Murder. Humanity. Muslims. Children. Women. Endless casualties. They say there was only World War II, yet are we all blinded by the occurrence of World War III? We may not all be a part of this war in a physical state or form, maybe not even know anyone from Gaza, maybe haven't even heard of Palestine. Does such facts really matter when the truth lies with the bottom line. Innocent. Harmless. A whole life left to be lead. Dead. No choice. A father carries his daughter to the hospital in a pool of blood. A boy wakes up only to be told he is the only surviving member of his family. People unable to close their eyes shut because of the fear immersed in their next breath, one of uncertainty. These numbers, these statistics, these media reports we hear of are just a bunch of statistics of the amount of deaths in Gaza. Do not we realise the life behind these numbers? There are people, innocent lives, targeted, killed, destroyed of all opportunities. Is n...

There are times when you must walk beyond the voices you hear, disregard the comments and persevere to be the for the better. "You'll never be able to make it, you're something today however nothing tomorrow." I had let such remarks absorb within myself for a period of time, until my inner sasha fierce released who I truly am; my personal capabilities. They say don't pull a rock to back, or it'll eventually fly right past you. The truth within the diverted image lies within yourself, the boundaries being built only to be controlled by your own limitless self. They all said I wouldn't make it this far with mere success; I may not quite have reached there yet, but I quite certainly am making an entrance!

Maybe I'm just a tad bit obsessed with henna, I don't really know. Adorning my own hands with henna has quite easily become one of my most favourite hobbies. The simplicity and creativity associated with this spohisticated yet elegant piece of art is what draws me in all the time. I may not be the best henna artist out there, I mean there are bound to be others better, but I never stop myself from letting it flow :)

Henna is such a beautiful means of art. As a child, I used to love seeing brides have their hands adorned with henna, back and front, with patterns that seem to tell their own story. Henna is symbolic to the new life of a wedded couple, and I hope that one day I can add more meaning to it. If henna can connote a fresh beginning for two people, why can it not be used to flip the page on our impoverished society? I hope one day to be able to use the mere skills I have with henna to do my little part in this great big world. #designmyfuture.
