blasphemy

And when Allah said to the angels, “Prostrate to that which we have created” The first man. Adam. Satan looked at him and damn, fell head over heels in love. Satan’s love made of fire and light sparked off Adam’s skin like clay They bent for each other in other ways. The night before their […]

i have always been both scared and comforted by the dark. what scares me and what comforts me about it, that i do not know. given the choice, i would sleep with all the lights out and a blanket over my head, blocking out all the light. darkness, for me, is warmth. a safety net. […]

Song Mood Board #6- Sandcastles, Beyonce

\every promise don’t work out that way// “You can’t make homes out of human beings.” ~Warsan Shire I never really understood what this meant. Never tried to. For me, home meant a pair of arms, a shoulder to cry on, a back to take support on. It meant a repository of inside jokes, secret smiles, […]

Song Mood Board #5- Sunsetz, Cigarettes After Sex

\when you go away i still see you// and you left. In the end, you had to leave. All your promises of forever went up in smoke. You left. I didn’t ask you to stay either. Waking up every morning is difficult, knowing you aren’t there with me. Getting through the day becomes a task […]

Song Mood Board #2- Lovely, Billie Eilish and Khalid

\I hope some day I’ll make it out of here// here’s to the soft ones the shy ones the awkward ones the self-proclaimed dorks. here’s to those who overthink here’s to those who overlove here’s to those who overfeel with no middle ground of emotions. feel free the way you are you are whole you […]

Song Mood board #1- Troye Sivan, Lucky Strike

\tell me all the ways to love you// my father makes the evening tea for my mother every day, without fail “too milky and too sweet”, she complains but drinks it with a smile anyway. my brother will risk my mother’s anger to get books for me to read and will then ask for reviews […]

‘Orange’ You Glad I’m Back?

I’m going back to the beginning days of my blog when it used to be about books. I’ve been obsessed with #Bookstagram photos (they’re like my equivalent of slime) and I thought I should try them too. Two minor problems: a)My camera is shit b)I don’t know how to take photos. But I tried. So here are my books with orange covers and I’ll also try to review them.

It’s Time
