You used to blend into the day, unnoticed, and now you blend into me, as though I was always who you really were. Yet you are able somehow to maintain your own sense of self, to the point where I wonder if it’s really me who has become lost in you, my other person. I don’t believe in halves, not anymore. I believe in fulls. You and I are full. We came full, and though we very well may not leave as full as we came, it is comforting to know how full two fulls call be at once, altogether. Solid. Like a pillar. Sometimes, I have trouble telling you apart from myself and vice versa, so close that when apart, I feel as though I’ve left a limb strewn about. I get anxious, so I’ll go home every night to sort through my wreckage, looking for any evidence at all that may point to your return. This is how it always goes.

I’m not interested in speaking to anyone who erases Muhammad Ali’s blackness and/or Muslim identity. He was proudly both and stood by them.

He was unapologetically black, unapologetically Muslim and unapologetically human. If his blackness or the fact that he was a Muslim makes you uncomfortable, don’t call him your hero.

Dont claim him if you’re racist and islamophobic. Also don’t claim him if you’re pro-war, imperialist and white supremacist.

Free yourself from the illusion of good and bad days. Labeling time makes us nostalgic of the past and demanding of the future. There is only here and now. Let it be.

i am an enigma, i am a mystery. some times i speak, but more often than not, i keep to myself. keeping to myself, is not selfish, but the assumptions others raise about my reclusiveness, often are. why are you ignoring me? why are you distancing yourself from me? why are you avoiding me? but, why does it all have to be about you? what if i just have a lot going on in my life at the moment? what if i am too drained, and have no energy to socialize? what if i just need time to myself to grow, or to catch my breath? understand that there is more to my reclusiveness. understand that i have phases in my life where i need myself, more than i need you.

This generation has lost the true meaning of romance. There are so many songs that disrespect women. You can’t treat the woman you love as a piece of meat. You should treat your love like a princess. Give her love songs, something with real meaning. Maybe I’m old fashioned but to respect the woman you love should be a priority.

The people I find irresistible are those in whom the child was not killed. The qualities of openness, trust, inquisitiveness, tenderness, eagerness, enthusiasm, others undefinable, come from the child in us and are the source of charm. The laughter and the smile that do not calculate, the spontaneity that is not arrested. I cannot remember “adult” charm or whether it even exists.

Honey, child, honey, child, whither are you going?   Would you cast your jewels all to the breezes blowing? Would you leave the mother who on golden grain has fed you? Would you grieve the lover who is riding forth to wed you? Mother mine, to the wild forest I am going, Where upon the champa boughs the champa buds are blowing; To the köil-haunted river-isles where lotus lilies glisten, The voices of the fairy folk are calling me: O listen! Honey, child, honey, child, the world is full of pleasure, Of bridal-songs and cradle-songs and sandal-scented leisure. Your bridal robes are in the loom, silver and saffron glowing, Your bridal cakes are on the hearth: O whither are you going? The bridal-songs and cradle-songs have cadences of sorrow, The laughter of the sun to-day, the wind of death to-morrow. Far sweeter sound the forest-notes where forest-streams are falling; O mother mine, I cannot stay, the fairy-folk are calling.

One of the biggest problems with the society - whether you’re a Muslim or not - is the crazy taboo topic that sex has become. In our religion it’s forbidden to have pre-marital sex and that’s it. That’s how the rules are and that’s what we are taught. It’s great and this so important to teach both your sons and daughters. But the mistake that the majority of the families do is that they treat sex like something that should never been spoken of EVER… Until your married of course. But that’s so wrong and it has brought upon us so many complications. The whole “ Eastern and south Asian culture” surrounds around protecting girls from this horrible horrible thing called sexual intercourse. Why? Well because girls can get pregnant! Duh… Well the big issue with that is that who are actually making these oh so pure and fragile women pregnant? Men of course! The ones we actually forgot to “warn” about sex. I don’t know a single family that has warned their sons about the importance of staying faithful for your future spouse meanwhile girls are constantly alarmed about it. It has gotten to point that we look down on basically anything and anyone associated with sex. We look down on sex workers and girls that wear short skirts WITHOUT thinking ahead what actually forced them into selling their bodies. Well right again, MEN. They have been taught that women are theirs to own in all sorts of ways, whether they are call girls or their own wives. It’s beyond disgusting and that’s why it’s so important to TALK ABOUT SEX WITH YOUR KIDS, despite of gender. Teach them how it’s done, what feels good, teach them about both sides being consent to the act and teach them about safe sex and about why it’s forbidden. I’ve met people that are scarred of having sex with their husbands, we are taught to never speak about it and never be alone with a guy in a room because bad things can happen. I’ve met people who strongly believe in virginity as if it’s a real thing, they’ve been taught to never use tampons because then no one will marry them. Can you believe that? Virginity is a social construction - it’s fictional! No one is suppose to bleed and get hurt during sex IT ALL HAPPENS BECAUSE guys have no idea what they are doing and what to do to get the girl aroused. Why don’t they know? Because they haven’t been taught shit!!! THIS is not the ways of Islam smh. If you read a little, Islam says so much about the topic, about for-play and how you shouldn’t finish before satisfying your wife. I have had enough of people frowning upon the topic and those who speak openly about it. Just because you talk about sex doesn’t mean you are having sex dammit. There’s a difference between words and action, just because I talk about murder doesn’t mean I’m gonna kill someone. So for the record: it’s okay to talk about sex! For women too because women want sex, need sex and think about sex IT’S NATURAL! As long as you do it with a permitted person. Not talking about gives all the power to men and that’s not where it should be. So get educated and educate others, especially guys who learn these stuff from porn and their equally stupid friends. I hate everything tbh.

As a Muslim woman I’m not gonna be ashamed of my sexuality and desires. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting affection, kisses, oral, or anything that’s considered taboo because it’s a basic need for most human beings. There’s a difference between doing or talking/thinking/needing in general so I don’t understand why some of you wallahi prudes make such a big deal out of this seriously shut the hell up.

I think the fewer friends you have, the more you value them.

[raychillster]

i want nothing more than to sit down and have one last conversation with old friends/old lovers. to close the doors that are still cracked open. to forgive and be forgiven. to revive old friendships that ended prematurely. but unfortunately, those last conversations can’t always happen. i hope that one day the people who are truly meant to be here realize their places in my heart are still being kept warm for them. i hope one day i learn to let the places not meant to be here, grow cold, collect dust, and disappear gracefully.

note to self: closure begins and ends with you. you don’t require other people’s apologies, forgiveness, love, or acceptance. you can indefinitely provide those things for yourself. i hope you learn this before it’s too late.

Current educational institutions are built to indoctrinate you into this capitalist system of oppressive norms and monetary desires. They don’t want you to find inner-peace.
