State of mind

There come times where the smallest acts, the simplest smells, or even a random thought makes me remember a sweet memory that takes me back in time to a happy place. There comes a time where that memory keeps me in a beautiful exotic state of mind, then I remember the reality, I stand still, and reflect on now and then. That memory becomes a tragedy, it becomes a sad moment. It becomes a grief state of mind, and for a second I feel really tired, like the world has drained me from everything beautiful I had. I shed some tears and try to pick up the broken pieces left in my heart. Look up and move forward. Not to worry, that beautiful thought of the memory is gone now, but It's beauty stays within.

Taste of an ocean

Pacific Ocean coldness 

You know that feeling when the water touches your feet, it feels so deep, and looks so clear. You know its cold, but that wont stop you from feeling it. It’s freezing, you feel like your toes are going to fall. You feel the cold going up your legs, yet after that iced feeling, comes a peaceful feeling. There comes a relief, the pain is over. Now you can enjoy the warmth of the wind after the iced storm.

Busy nights

I find beauty at night. I find serenity, I find peace, I find tranquilly, I find stillness. When it gets all quite. Less talk. More silence. Less hate. More love. Less worries. More dreams. It feels like everything slows down at night, everything makes sense. And They wonder why people have so many sleepless nights?

Personal Manifesto

Since this is my first post, I've decided to share something a little more about myself. This is a personal manifesto my mentor/ad teacher had me do for my work profolio. While we were walking our usual back to class, he said, "People need to feel your personality, they need to be able to get a taste of your own story. Your own version of life." Those words really touched me for some reason. It had me think how each one of us comes from a different background, experience, struggle and how people can reflect on this life very differently that others. The next day I came up with this.. 

"My full name means, “wishes” in Arabic, and my wish is to find that tpot of gold at the end of rainbow. I’m multicultural, so I surround myself with diversity, because I believe different ideas can do wonders. I’m opinionated yet, open-minded. I seek risk. I’m not scared to fear, because the future is easy & doesn’t exist yet. I believe that you have to fall to be able to grow, because the light is always more beautiful when it has to fight to be noticed. I am patient with all things but first with myself. I’m always hungry to grow and make mistakes along the road. I'm not ashamed of mistakes, they're what shaped me into the person I am today. In times of confusion, Art is my outlet. I paint my thoughts & fears. My joys and tears. My sorrows and my pain. My mantra in life is kindness. I believe being kind to all mankind, for everyone is fighting their own battle. And tea is the cure to all sorrows."

This little piece of me is the first page on my profolio now. :)
