If You Wanted To… 🌟

💫 Written / Studio Start: November 10, 2025

This song was different it was clarity. It came from the realization that love, effort, and attention are choices. I wrote it on a soft, chilly evening, wrapped in blankets, listening to the wind tap against my window, thinking about all the times I’d waited and wondered.

I started with a line that immediately felt viral “If you wanted to, you would.” It was simple, honest, and so relatable. The rest of the song unfolded from there, verse by verse, until it became a soft anthem of clarity and self-respect.

By November 12, I was in the studio again. I layered gentle synths, soft piano, and cozy percussion to support the vocals. Every layer was carefully chosen to emphasize softness, vulnerability, and quiet strength no overdramatic highs, just honesty that resonates. I even spent a little time on the bridge making space for reflection, letting the words linger like a sigh in the room.

💌 Dedicated: To anyone realizing that love is a choice, and that their clarity is a gift to themselves.

Today's reflection: Science and technology don’t stand a chance against what Allah (SWT) has already decreed. I live in a city that is extremely hot and humid during the summer, and today was especially sticky. Though I rarely check the weather, I felt like peeking at it a little. It said there would be fiery hot winds and high humidity in the coming week—that is, every day until next Monday, which is expected to bring rain.But SubhanAllah! Around 10:45 PM, the weather flipped in an instant. Cold winds blew heavily, the trees danced, and the clouds showered rain upon us. La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah.

Keep me indoors
Because that’s what I want
(Clearly). Keep me indoors
Where no one else will see me,
Not even the Sun. Keep me between your thighs
(When you feel like it)
Because I look so cold. Keep me to chill you
When you feel like you’re steaming
Underneath all your clothes. Keep me under you arm,
Do what you will
Because you know I’ll let you When you keep me indoors for so long.

I need to stop formulating opinions about myself based upon other people.

I need to stop comparing myself to other people. 

I need to stop caring so much.

2014 taught me forgiveness and made me a better and happier person! Yay!

It really is amazing to me

how movies can influence your life. I have told myself again and again that my life is just one long film that I get to replay over and over...I wish it was that simple.

When I watch a film--and by that specifically I mean a good film-- I can feel all my senses come together. There is something about words, video, and sound all coming together to make an audience cry, or laugh, or reflect.

I honestly wish I had the power to make people feel the things I wanted them to feel. This absolute capturing of attention, emotion, the mind.

As long as I live I will continue to believe that my life is simply a film being played and edited by myself...because I want it to be true so badly...I want people to look at my life and feel exactly what I want them to.

Now the only thing I have to hide from in my life will be the realization that there was no tape in the camera...or that maybe this movie isn't a great movie, its just an average one.

Nevertheless; I'll do my best to make it a good one until the end.

What a difficult thing it is to know somebody.  To know what makes them tick, to know what is essential about them and how they think.  It's almost impossible.  We try to make generalizations, to understand trends and predict behaviors, but we don't really know.  We'd like to think we do, but we don't.
