Some exciting news to share, insyAllah, I'll be going for Hajj this year! I'm so stocked as its something I've been yearning for a while now. I also share updates on being on anti-anxiety medication and more.

I don't feel like celebrating Ramadan the same way as I did in the past. Acknowledging my privilege as I watch a literal genocide happen through my screen and knowing that the oppressed are still choosing to fast puts me to shame. 

On one hand I feel the guilt of my privilege, and on the other I feel extreme gratitude for it, like I'm a pendulum swinging from side to side.

I know, I know, its been a while since an episode release, I'm sorry. I've had to sit with a couple of things lately - that I'm a people pleaser to my core (with my parents) and if given the choice, would avoid conflict with them even if its not good for me. Any other brown kid relate to this?

This episode I rant about my top 3 failures and success of my 20's (so far), because how and what we fail at eventually and hopefully leads to success...right?

I've been reflecting a lot this week and have concluded on five truths about life from this year.

I've been feeling a sense of discomfort over how society values people - why do we value people based on wealth and status over character and goodness? Why do celebrities matter so much? My aim in life is to be so unfazed by money and status, because truly, those things don't matter.

Also I'm totally ready for the December holidays!

I've talked about the loneliness and shame of not being in the same stage as everyone else, and I think I'm finally accepting that and looking more at the positives in my life rather than what I'm lacking. Also, we attract, we do not chase.

I'm excited for October. October means I turn a year older, its the beginning of hibernation and rest (which I sorely need!) and its Libra season (the best season, in my humble, non-biased opinion). I started off this month with a half marathon and I've got some handy tips if you've ever wondered how running a half marathon is like.

Quick update on my experience in Germany (The Weeknd concert!) and Austria and how difficult it is to get to know people online. Is it just me or is it hard to sustain a conversation via text? How do people do online dating? If you have tips, let me know!

Also, online shopping and silk pyjamas have made me so happy recently.
