Monday had been shitty for many people at work. There were no blues, just near chaos amidst confusion and the usual impatience. I know some people at work have it worse but having to put up with all the unnecessary stress and bullcrap is not why I applied for the job. But then again, why [...]

Three nights ago, I think, Mr. Cough Syrup Addict came… and left. How easily people can come in and out of your lives. It feels like fingertips against the breeze. Temporary.

The Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, says, ‘O son of Adam, as long as you call on Me, I shall forgive you of what you have done, and think nothing of it. O son of Adam, even if your sins were to reach up [...]

This morning I fell in love with the guy who sat beside me on the train. If this is what you call love. No. Merely an attraction of some kind. I don’t know. I’d been looking at the doors watching people enter and exit, but I hadn’t seen him come in. When the lady beside [...]

Do you know how this week feels like? It feels like the whole universe coming together to conspire against me. Like all the people in the world’s here to pick a fight with me. Have you ever heard of the Bobo doll experiment? The one Albert Bandura did. I’m the Bobo doll. Like the ground, [...]

Today I learned that you don’t really miss miss a person. Like when you don’t meet someone for a long time. Or it’s just been awhile. You tell them you miss him or her through phone conversations, text messages, e-mails or letters. Then one day both of you meet in an event or some place [...]
