Journey of a Lifetime

-
My journey has not been a significant one. But journeys seldom are. There can’t be a good or a bad journey, because my faith allows me to believe in Karma. It allows me to believe in the balance of power of the good and bad. It is yet to be determined whether this journey is a good or a bad one. 
Yet so far, I have made peace with my journey. There have been tears, mind you, lots and lots of them. There have been laughters; loud, raunchy out of control ones. Where you don’t even know what’s funny anymore.
My journey has been thus far, a truly remarkable one. Where I can stand tall and stand proud that there is nothing for me to be ashamed of. 
Walk a mile in my shoes and you will know that the building blocks had to be stacked. They had to be built and stacked again and again. Whether it be a storm or a clear nights sky; this  journey has been a remarkable one. It has taught me the things I pride myself most in. 
I know how to love, oh yes my friends. Don’t take that word lightly. I know how to love with an open heart. With my arms wide open I welcome anything and everything the world has to throw at me or offer me. You see, how the two different words put two completely different images in your mind’s eye. That’s what my journey has been all about. The slight change In color. Or a shift in emotions.
That’s all there is. Small changes coming and going. Teaching us lesson we need to learn to survive, to love and to breathe with strength. I admire people whose stories are untold, yet remarkable, to an extent where there is without a shadow of a doubt greatness. 
Why be ashamed of your journey, is my question to you. Why shy away from all that you have been through. There isn’t a time when I have said oh shit not again; or there goes my chance to be great. Striving for greatness amidst and along with your trials and tribulations is what makes each journey special. People who don’t give up, who fall yet get back up again are people which should be read and heard about. 
My feelings, my experiences are special to me. They are mine to label as I wish. No one can walk into my life and proceed with utter disregard to cut and paste my hour ey’s chapters. There aren’t many who will understand, yet there are many who will. 
I leave you with one thought. Is your journey an amazing one, or one you have yet to uncover and embark upon.....

The Early Bird

I have an exam in exactly 2 hours.... And all I can do is stare at my text book and think about last night. A few months ago I promised myself I would never let any man make me feel the way I felt last night. And thanks to another person, I let all the doubts which I had kept away come into my mind. I am so lost, and I know for a fact that I'm a mess.  I don't know what to do. Last night I cried myself to sleep. That isn't a good thing. I had thought I left all of that behind. But I guess old dogs never learn new tricks. Over the years I thought I had grown up and become mature. But I guess I havn't. I'm the same old stupid idiotic me.  I really don't know where to go from here I wish I could have one of those thingies.... You know the ones featured in Harry Potter books, where Dumbledore is able to siphon his memories and thoughts into a stone basin. I wish I had that. So I could ease and relieve my mind of all that hurts me and my heart. I sometimes wish peopl...

The Simplistic Beauty of the Motia Bangle

-
Simple, small wishes are what life really comes down to at some point. Well not always, but sometimes. In summers, in Pakistan, we get this flower, known as the Motia, a flower of the Jasmine family. It is the most beautiful and simple flower I have ever come across. Roses, are by far the most adored flower in world. While the motia is the most underrated flower I have come across. However, it is my favorite flower. Its scent is the simple and sweet and elegant. There is nothing like it in the world. It embodies everything that is related to feminism. In my city, they make bangles of this flower. It can be found at every stop light in our city. Simple, elegant bangles can be found selling at every corner of city. If a man buys me a bangle of motia, he would have a road straight to the heart. What it means, getting such a bangle from a man, is that he thought about you while he stopped at a light. What a woman really wants, is to know that the man she thinks about at multiple time...

Out of a Dream

-
Dreams are all about what you might want from life, but are not aware of it yet. As time goes by adults stop putting much store in the foundation of dreams. People disregard what they dream about and what their dreams are. Dreams are just that dreams. Things or ideas which you might aspire for. Without dreams, not much can be innovated or achieved.  Dreams have always had a special place in my life. I have a deep belief in the dreams which come to me at night and the dreams that I dream by day. They both are a part of who I am as a person. They are what will shape me as a human being. Or so I hope. The thing with dreams is, that they are highly fickle. They don't have a set pattern or a basis in reality and practicality. It falls completely upon me to give my dreams a practical face.  This is where the going gets tough. How can I turn something which is just an idea or a thought from my subconscious into something that can be tangible in my life? Just thinking about thi...
