This week’s sentiment is on search, something that has been on my mind this week. Searching can happen internally and externally, and both can be beautiful.

This week, I went to a fascinating museum. The artist was also a writer. My heart was so happy being in the exhibit!

Here are some feelings that the art inspired.

It’s the part of Ramadan where I’m so used to fasting, and when that happens, my spiritual fast thrives. I feel mellow and calm.

This week’s thought revolves around new beginnings. With Ramadan starting tonight and Navroz just passing by, I am thankful for some fresh starts.

I do this thing with my make-up, where I blend different shades. It reminds me of paint.

Like paint, my emotions were mixed. Bittersweet. I needed this visit more than I realized.

Here’s a thought about paint, emotions, and mixing.

This week, in Moncks Corner, I paddled in the rain with alligators. And it was so fun! The rain was not ideal, and I was low-key scared. However, I could not stop smiling. Here is a thought about embracing challenging situations.

The things that appear in my sleep are strange. I have taken more of an interest in dreaming recently. The most fascinating and scariest thing I have stumbled on is the possibility that dreams can predict the future.

So thankful. This week has been great. But if this week hasn’t been great for you, I understand, and I cannot wait to see all you will do :)

Here’s a little thought about feeling capable.

I have a little bit of writer’s block. So I have been deleting and starting over a lot, changing direction constantly.

I wholeheartedly believe each area I have been living in serves a purpose. Not to sound too confident, but I have a general idea of each theme and what seems to be the future one.

Here is a small thought about life lessons taught through places.

Valentine's Day is coming up! Here is a little poem about love.

This week has been impulsive but also planned (if that makes sense).

This month has somehow felt like a year, in a good way. This month made me grow like a year would have, and I marvel at the person I am now.

I have been living out of a suitcase for a long time now. It is a great feeling but also tough to do. Luckily, I feel at home with myself, and I wanted to share a thought about that.

Sunsets are quite beautiful and interesting.

This week had unexpected turns but so many great moments. One of them was lying in bed and reading a little about the human condition.

Today is New Year’s Eve! Things are still crazy, but I am looking forward to next year.

Here’s a little thought about the wins of this past year.

Thankfully, I am home for the holidays, and I know I am lucky. However, I can’t shake off these March 2020 vibes. It’s weird to go through such craziness twice, even though the first time never really ended.

I feel the grief again. But I also feel the togetherness again.

Here’s a lighter thought about that togetherness.

You may know that I try not to live for the weekend. This week was a little much even for me! However, I did have fun and enjoyed maintaining & creating connections.

Here’s a thought about friendship (new and old).

As you all know, it’s the holiday season and the last month of the year. Whether we like it or not, this fact prompts reflection.

But overall, I feel good about this year. It was difficult, no doubt. However, it opened my eyes. Here’s a good thought about the holidays.
