I love reading late at night cause that’s when the lines between reality & fiction kinda blur & everything becomes a fever dream & you can properly disappear into the story
Idgaf if this gets me hate but I feel like there’s a heavy level of disrespect & lack of decency if you approach someone you know who’s standing with someone who’s unfamiliar to you & you fully ignore that stranger & leave them unacknowledged. كلمة السلام عليكم لهالدرجة صعبة؟
I think everyone who’s seen Blake Lively as Lily on the set of It Ends With Us can all agree that they should abort that movie while they still can :) what the hell is this???
Girls will literally be like “idk why I’ve been so unproductive lately” then you ask them what’s going on in their life & they’ll list like seven different lifestopping crisies & say “yeah but i should be fine though”
Does anyone else constantly feel like they’re running out of time? For no reason?? I could be lying in bed in the middle of the night on my vacation & my mind will be like “hurry up! before it’s too late!” Too late for WHAT? I dunno 😭
One of the reasons I’m grateful to be Arab is that our culture is SO rich with generosity & hospitality. Like, yeah okay, we all roast the westerners for being naturally stingy & it’s funny & what not but —
I LOVE it when strangers go outta their way to be nice. An Emirati employee was sitting across from me at a coffee shop at the airport & she approached me randomly asking if I needed someone to watch my things while I ordered myself a cuppa coffee seeing as—
Hi, non Emirati. Thanks for verbalizing your concern here. I can’t speak for all Emiratis on this but my personal two cents here is that Emiratis have never felt the need to challenge or vote anything at all because we are well taken care of by our rulers. They’ve always put —
Have you ever noticed you pick up little habits & phrases from the people you love? it’s no wonder our hearts are easily broken when people leave. We become a reflection of the people that we care about & those personality traits stick with us even if the people don’t.
I will never in my life understand the way heavy traffic works, especially when there are no obvious accidents around. This stuff physically angers me.
Unpopular opinion- sometimes sharing music can just be... sharing music. It’s not that deep. It doesn’t have to hold or carry substantial amounts of depth. It doesn’t always have to be a love language either. It could merely be sharing songs with someone else. I don’t know —
Gorgeous gorgeous girls deserve a partner who checks whether they’re comfortable. Who respects their time. Who knows that their energy is valuable. Gorgeous gorgeous girls don’t settle for half assed anything.
My best friends daughter called me last night & asked me to pick her up from nursery so naturally (after getting misty eyed) I started preparing a playlist for us to jam to, most of which are from the Shrek soundtrack.
Ice cream & lollipops were also involved. 10/10 experience.
Any relationship that could be “ruined” by having a conversation about feelings, standards or expectations wasn’t really strong enough anyway, so there isn’t much to ruin or lose.
I will literally never believe your 20s are meant to be the prime of your life. The years immediately following your adolescence? When you’re rooted in the battlefields of un/learning, healing, & growing? Yeah right.
The women next to me on the plane sat there for the three & a half hour flight with no book, no laptop, no headphones, didn’t touch her phone, literally just sat there doing nothing….. I’m afraid of her power
It’s crazy to think that everything is interconnected in this universe like if you didn’t do that one thing then you probably would’ve never met certain people or if you decided to stay in that one place or didn’t read that one book then things could be so different
Communication is crucial, yeah, but so is a sense of understanding. If I tell you something & you’re just not willing to see where I’m coming from, what’s the point of telling you anything?
When someone asks “so what do you like to do for fun” unexpectedly and you didn’t have time to prep your answers and now you’re actually trying to think of the last time you felt joy doing anything
the place is mad crowded. Once I came back, she walked over & said “you have a beautiful smile mashallah”, handed me a KitKat, & left.
These are the types of encounters I’ll never forget from strangers. They make me want to pay it forward somehow.
There is something so wholesome and heartwarming about having friends who’ve seen multiple versions of you and loved you without fail through each version.
