You Cannot Come Back From A Divorce, or Ugly Truths Of Life

 You cannot change the result of bad actions, taken upon impulses, dreams of a better partner or hopes to escape current dissatisfaction. You cannot leave a relationship without hurting or permanently leaving your mark.

Living On LaLa Land

 I can go uncultured by society, if I give them exactly what they need. I have come to know how socio-economic barriers can come in the way of any noble goal, including our quest to find ever-lasting peace and solace in the arms of another. 

Does this mean I should pick up a Tasbeeh, and become indulgent in prayer as a Muslim Woman? The answer does not always depend on Allah (SWT), once we go past the the 5 Daily Prayers.

I have a lot to say about La La Land, and how the movie shaped me. How all roles fell apart at the seam.

Spiritual Fasts: These Fasts Help Add Immense Feelings

 We all know the type; Perfectionists. Isn't it beautiful how we can all come back to ourselves. Like an Artist. We know ourselves as Easel with expiry date. Yet, we fail to sustain ourselves in that image. We become stuck on the past, including mistakes we have made. 

Thankfully, one way I found out of a burden of guilty feelings was to start honouring and making room for new feelings. Better feelings with more weight and mileage. Ones that could sustain me in lonely hours of the night, where nothing would comprise for the hunger inside of me. To feel and love like a child. A little Baby with a bundle of love, care and warmth. So I cling to Spiritual Fasting, as a way to nourish my Rooh, into seeing the Glorious Promises, and how they are built on the hard work of today.

More DIY Tips:

 

1. For All You Fellow Dancers: Make Dancing  Socks out of the sleeves of your old sweaters. 

2.  You can make your own body chain out of old necklaces. 

3. Stick to Dollar Value Socks. Better yet, Stitch/Sew Your own socks of previously used lace. This way you avoid buying those costly DIY Arts & Crafts Kits which usually end up costing a fortune. 

4.  Make your own Deodorant.

5. Tie-Dye Previous Socks to make them into an Accessory.

6. You only need one dress with a thigh-high split. Trust me Sweetie, I learned the hard way. These men are not worth impressing in expensive ways. Ugh, even though you might love Eryka Jane so much for helping you become a luxury indulgent bonafide con-woman. Or, even if you are facing hard-coming, unstoppable whimsies of your torturous adulthood right in the middle of acting lessons, there's only so much money you can spend on a dress.

7. Use your old scarves as t-shirts, rather than spending $15 on a single t.

Wazir Diaries; Entry # 1:

 A Wazir works hard to get what they want to Achieve. It is a status earned, not given. Or at least, that's what I keep hoping from my God. It is a getaway to WorldPeace. Or at least, that's what I keep hoping from my God.
