Memoirs of a Flower Child

You are your own teacher. Looking for teachers can’t solve your own doubts. Investigate yourself to find the truth - inside, not outside. Knowing yourself is most important.

And sometimes it happens that certain people make your soul feel good, like all happy and content and that sort of stuff. I think it's harder to walk away from those types of people because they leave behind a literal ache when they leave...like hunger pangs. So you keep going back and trying to satisfy your hunger for knowledge or whatever else it might be that they give to you. I think those are the types of people who are soul food.

Inside my head, that’s my home. I could be in the middle of nowhere, as long as I never lose myself, I’ll have sanctuary.

The last one alone is enough to debunk the whole premise that ISIS represents Islam.

Wow ISIS is breaking every single one of these rules.

People wouldn't even know this because they take everything at face value and the propaganda is EVERYWHERE.

Sometimes when it Rains...

One day I will no longer be haunted by the rain. It will no longer make me stop in my tracks with melancholy. I will no longer make proclamations of 'pathetic fallacy' every time I see the sky darken as both the clouds and my eyes spill over simultaneously, unable to hold back their water any longer. I will no longer feel the need to be driven into a state of desperate sorrow at the sight of raindrops. One day the rain will come and I will indulge in the gentle breeze that comes with it; I will take in the smell of the soil as if for the first time. I will greedily consume every experience with my senses. One day, I too will learn to dance in the rain.

How many times do we hear cases of people complaining about life suddenly becoming bad, evil eye and many spiritual illnesses. However, my question is how are we using social media? You’re looking extra good, you put upload it on Facebook. A new house, your wedding photos, that expensive dress, the delicious food, the latest car, the new suit, the coolest phone- you put it on social media. You bought a new headscarf or thobe and it matches your shoes - boom put it on social media. Your smile looks extra nice today, so the world has to see it. You been banging weights and all your mates have to see the 6 pack or the new vein in the bicep so upload it for all to see. That new make up has made you look extra pretty so your friends must see it. You prayed, fasted, cried and gave charity, so your 5,000 friends have to know. Be careful of how you’re exposing your blessings to the world. Not everyone possesses what you do and not every person wants to see you happy. Make sure you pray, recite verses of protection daily and before you sleep. Not everything has to be for social media.
