Good morning <3

On todays chapter of being I want to introduce a new way for expressing my writings on here…
Just as I have been enjoying writing it on paper with this beautiful calligraphy pen
I thought to share it here as is
With its rawness and the mess ups
So that the emotions are there as I connected to them
So… yeh <3
From now, swipe across the picture which as per usual I will have an image generated that I feel represents what’s been written coz I think it’s low-key cool
The words are raw and real but the image conveying it doesn’t need to be it’s a perfect blend

Yalla good night, for now.

During late night sessions…

my bed is my chamber of reflection…
As I lay in my bed here at the university accommodation
And that’s even if I could call it “mine”
I am only passing by
A short stay you may say
But nevertheless
My pillow rests here for now my cuddly toy and my favourite blanket
But more so my thoughts
Or my heavy head
As my body goes to relax
My mind activates
And sometimes I play along
Like tonight for example
I crowned this evening with a new realisation
A realisation that brought some peace and some calmness amidst the chaos
It was almost liberating
But also meant that I shall commit more
To commit more you say?
What are you chatting about
And I will tell you it means you don’t only do the things when it’s convenient to you
You don’t only embody the traits when you want to represent them
or let them represent you
Sometimes in fact the contrary
It’s the moment you feel most uncomfortable or you you feel most pushed to your limits
is when the calling is most needed
To guide and protect
When you yourself also feel like you need guiding and protecting is courageously vulnerable and it’s powerfully liberating
It’s liberating in the sense that it allows you to express your energy and understand the world
Well that’s something
And that’s something worth fighting for
I told you these 4am sessions gets pretty twisted and confusing
But we will work through them together
Bit by bit
Thought by thought
And even if we don’t that’s okey
It’s important to try thou
To at least put into words
And dance around the field
It’s important to dance off the field too
And on the field
Just dance I say whenever you get the chance to just dance
And don’t be afraid to dance
No one will judge
In fact they might connect with you better
And join in
Maybe they could teach you a move or two
And just like that
Your giving nature is now also taking
People are creative so connect to that
The world is not out to get you
Nor need you be in control all the time
Cruise control can get you places too
You’re not even the driver
Nor are you the car
You are all of it
Yet none of it at all…

During Birthdays…

Today marks another page turning, another page turning means a glimpse of a moment to reflect on what truly matters…

What truly matters you may ask?
I will tell you what I came up with and I will tell you why I’m choosing to do it here

What truly matters is the letting of the desire to explore come forth, the desire to create, the desire to live and let life express itself through you

This can be done in many ways there’s no manual and there’s no structure in fact it’s just chaos
But of course as always it’s chaos and order..

I have over the last days weeks months years collected and explored many themes, many emotions, many ways to be and many more
But today I want to look forward and I want to create
I feel a strange energy running through me
An energy that yearns to be found
An energy that yearns to find

This isn’t just about me
It’s about capturing moments feelings or thoughts
Through a word or maybe just a little dance
Through a story or maybe just a big world

A world that can contain us all
A world that has place for it all
Freedom of expression
Freedom of opinion
Freedom to be
Just freedom full stop.

Reflecting back on many moments, since the last post and since the last birthday
So much comes up to the surface
So much all at once yet nothing at all
Nothing at all truly matters in this instance
Except for letting it be
Letting it be here or letting it go
Maybe letting it go onto a page or two
Maybe a book or two or maybe just silence

But I want to write I like writing
So the page is open and the book is calling
The pen is ready and I have plenty ink
I am here and what a place to be
A new chapter of being
Let’s continue writing the story.

With love <3

And we are back with a new topic..

One that I have just been having to deal with after moving home for summer.
It is the idea of “creating spaces and cues”
for habits maintaining and formation

also to brush on the idea of it going missing due to circumstances?
should we prepare ourselves to resit to zero and lose it all
or..
do habits already formed have the potential to swiftly fall back into place with a little focus and learning from past failures/successes?

It’s definitely the latter or at least in my experience

Giving yourself a space and cues will serve you as a reason to keep going back to that habit, as seeing this will serve as a reminder to get on task, this is exactly what reminders on our phone are for

But I’m speaking of it manifesting more physically,
Another great one is boards or sticky notes on a wall..
Specially as our phone have become too much of a “bad habit” to be used hourly so now using it productively could work but it is a little more challenging as temptation is too great

Are you with me?
So yeh I’ve personally found this method to work and even thou I lose track or completely fall off doing what I’d like and should be doing
Because I have the idea in the back of my mind as well as the experience of having done it before one can simply and intentionally learn from past successes & failures
And create an even stronger system to work.

Let me know if you find this useful <3
It certainly has been a life changer for me..

It can be a really fun process and a very effective method to staying on top of daily habits
Use the materials, the space you have and the technologies that are given to you for your own good
There’s a true value in everything around you.

Happy holidays, the summer is now here let’s make the most of that as well whilst we’re at it
And good luck <3

Today..
A chapter ends let’s call it end of an era and oh what a journey it’s been with this place.

I spent the weekend packing all my stuff to get ready to move YET again
from a place where I fell in love, in love with my self. A place which I made feel so homely cosy and comfortable although it is only a student room.
I loved it here, I loved every second, I loved every failure and every struggle I loved every joy and I loved every dance and every song, I loved EVERY moment I shared with these walls.

Each poster on the wall, every gadget and little animal collected through the year
Residing on the shelves and around the room stares at me as if it’s telling me it’s okey, you might be moving from here but you’ll forever have the memories you made here, you’ll forever have the growth and the healing you did here you will forever have us with you on your next chapter

And I look back at them with a tear in my eye as if I am apologising for stuffing them in boxes to be left in some dark storage room waiting for me to come back and reunite again

I’m experiencing a flood of emotions and Im trying to express them, in my life I moved around a lot and this packing all your stuff and boxing them up never gets easier and I’m not talking about the effort of actually doing it as that’s actually kind of fun

And I am trying to look at this from a really positive perspective and I think am able to,
after all the place I am leaving now contained me through this year it chewed me and spat me out a totally different person to the on entered it the first time
And that’s definitely a good thing, I now look forward to closing this chapter and to opening a new one, one filled with hope one filled with new chances and new experiences in a new place with new people and likely a better story because ain’t stopping I am just getting started and oh what a journey this promises to be
If Allah wills of course.

Thank you for accompanying me through this rollercoaster of emotions and through this chapter.
Stay safe and see you soon <3

We back again, a new chapter coming through with new realisations and new opportunities for growth

Sitting here in an airport lost amongst the crowds and contemplating whilst seeing all kinds of people do all kinds of job with such dedication for even the ones considered “less impacting”

or let’s say less highlighted because if we speak impacting then all jobs are impacting if you deep it..

I am talking of all the people that make an airport run for example?
So many people play such a big role at making the world run and all of it goes unnoticed

but let’s bring it back to the main point of this and it’s to encourage people to stop a second a view the world from A different perspective or on a deeper level

Then I can almost guarantee it will grant you a deeper sense of purpose just simply for existing and doing whatever job you do or whatever thing you do in the world or in your life

in fact it will drive you even more with dedication to create more meaningful things things
whilst simultaneously allowing you to let go of the pressure to do more!

it’s truly wonderful what happens when you just stop for a second and zooom out zoom in sort of thing..

search the law of significance inspiration
But for now, happy travels <3
See you soon.

of Today..

I want to talk about a philosophy I’ve been debating with my own self for a little while, over the last period of time I’ve been caught up with well simply life..

But I’m learning to make better time for my priorities or interest and specially those so close to how the world is shifting

Todays topic:
“Everything that poisons can also heals and everything that heals can also poison”

What comes to mind when you hear this?
Likely to be a venomous snake for example, because as we know the cure to its bite can be extracted from the very same venom it produces..

But this concept goes a bit deeper than that and a lot more philosophical.
for me I think family or friends or even our own Goddamn thoughts..

Stay with me here:3
You may be thinking what are you on about or you might be starting to connect the dots where this might be prevalent in your life and I’m hoping for the latter..

Obviously it’s no news that our thoughts can be poisonous in fact they’re more poisonous than not
But family?! And friends?!
Isn’t that the place where we go for to escape the madness! And yes you would be right but that doesn’t change the fact..

Ahh I could talk so much about this topic and I sure will later but what I came here to say today is the shortened version of the message and it’s that:

There’s a certain beauty to such dualities of life
and I believe we shouldn’t resist it but rather embrace and accept it and all its aspects as well as with everything that comes with it

Sometimes people imagine healing or being aligned as being perfectly well but it’s actually a beautiful blend of both the poison&the acceptance of it and the cure&the highs of experiencing it
Or at least that has been my experience up until now..

I hope you enjoy your weekend coming
I love you all so much
Not a lot is happening these days but also so much is which I guess is a good time to be creative..
So do expect more to come through these days

And if you have friends that loves such provocative thinking or posts then do share the love <3

Good night.

Well..
Back with another chapter of this being, just another Hmm let’s call it milestone, and the cool thing is we know there is to be many more of them..
Here or elsewhere that doesn’t matter and that’s not even what I’m here to talk about.

Today, I was accepted for a new role doing translation and interpreting of languages from and to English and my native language.

For a while this split in languages and let’s call it personality because that’s what it really felt like at times,

Don’t get me wrong this wasn’t at all negative, it was some experience to live through i Will tell you that but it just felt kind of weird and it still does.. I think those who speak more than a language will understand

To find yourself thinking in a different language to the one you’re used to or finding it easier to communicate in a different language is tough to grasp once you deep it

But languages are so cool man and what I came here to say or do is just to simply mark this day as a chapter of my being as today could be considered a celebration of both those aspects of my spoken experience coming together, through something more meaningful and outsourced.

I think I’m starting to ramble a little bit too much here but what I’m trying to get at here is that languages are so complicated and the process of learning a new language is even more so and I know some people can speak 4 or 5 and that’s wonderful, truly mesmerising but in my experience it caused me some friction

But today I can celebrate because I feel like I managed to bring those two parts together and that’s a good thing.

Happy communication,
& I hope you’ve all been keeping well <3

So we return..

Today, I want to talk about a topic that’s been on my mind, it’s the value of routine..

I just had a week or so that has absolutely disturbed and even destroyed any sort of routine I had in place
My sleep too has been affected and I’m now working to bring balance back to it all..

Now I am writing this to remind myself of how good it felts to have the routine I did, what’s crazy is how quick and easy it was to fail back into comfort zone

A solid routine can have so much a positive affect on our life, it’s been evident to me through living it then not.

Through having a system of habits I was able to see the value of consistency based activities
My productivity increased and my goals started to slowly fall into place

now ofc this wasn’t always the case and it felt challenging and at times I did not want to do those things but I believe that’s where we can show character which is why I also believe this too will pass.

Afterall, a restrictive morning and night routine could feel daunting but I think it’s worth exploring, after all what have we got to lose? We’re living our days anyway and we’re doing our thing anyway

What do you think? Any thoughts or experiences that are related to our topic?
And I will end this with saying;
Enjoy your weekend, love you all and happy exploring.

Today..

Let’s talk football, the beautiful game the sport that unites the world in such a wonderful way
My first love and the last it will ever be..

I want to turn my gratitude my compassion and my excitement to share it with the little child that was me, today I started a job working in the very thing I love most and I cannot contain the plethora of feelings coming up..

And you know what? Some of those are indeed negative as well, some anxiety a little bit of an imposter syndrome (which is weird considering it’s all I’ve known my whole life)
And there’s some feeling of worry that this might not be the best of paths for me as a person..

but do you know what?
That doesn’t matter, I’m going to do it anyway, I’m going to learn from it and make mistakes oh I will likely make so many mistakes but I’m going to enjoy the process both the good and the bad both the stressful and the joyous!

Today was a good day in my chapter of being
And I hope yours was too but if it wasn’t, one will be coming soon believe me when I say that.

I love you and have a good week <3 by @chapters_of_being

Today..

Let’s talk cultures, what do you like about your culture and other peoples culture?
Have you ever noticed how each place expresses itself so different yet incredibly similar

Culture isn’t just in the grand things like the markets and the dances it’s in more so in the little things like the way we have coffee or serve tea
Like the way our sheeps look

Or the way our family tells stories conveying a beautiful message, and if you’re wondering what I mean
You know all stories like the little red riding hood
Well those are told differently from culture to culture based on heritage factors that could and would appeal to the growth of the child into a person of that place
It’s really weird yet so fascinating

All of this and more shapes our collective identity all while celebrating the uniqueness of each one
This is not a bug in our world it’s a feature!

So do tell me and share some of those details of either your culture and the things you love about it remember the finer details in things
Or what things you liked in places you’ve visited and have they stuck with you somehow?

Let’s exchange and share our experiences<3

And finally, happy exploring and enjoy the weekend..
