 Little Things


Daydreaming turns my head into a realm of fantasies. I spend hours fantasizing my ideal life, instead of living the one I am presently just existing in.

Like most people, my ideal life looks like a mostly unrealistic, perfect life filled with prosperity, wealth, love etc. If only the scenarios in my head would actually come to life. If only.....

But life is not a rom-com, not until you start romanticizing the mundane things, the little things.

We idealize a fake life too much to be able to romanticize and appreciate the one we are blessed with. When it's truly the little things in life which makes it so beautiful.

I have always found the moments in my life that brought me the most joy are the small ones, whether it be looking at the moon while listening to your favorite playlist, a perfect bite of food, a time spent with your friends where you think to yourself “I am going to miss this moment”, going through an old photo album and having your grandma tell you stories from your childhood, a walk under the stars on an empty street, a peaceful sunset where silence feels like music to the ears, or a random yet meaningful conversation sparked at 3 a.m.

These things are what makes life simply beautiful. We believe that we will be the happiest at reaching a certain point in our life where all our dreams come true, but happiness is not a destination, its the journey and we call it life. Yes, It is a bumpy road but without the lows would we ever learn to appreciate the highs?

I like life more when I remember to enjoy the little things in everyday. Romanticizing your daily routine fills you up with so much gratitude and makes you feel like a main character in your own little realistic movie.

Waking up to the sun softly entering your room through the gap of your curtains, the smell of your morning hot coffee, your exclusive concert in the shower, your neighbor bringing you a new recipe they tried to taste, a kind stranger who smiled at you, having a good hair day, your favorite band playing on the radio, petting a dog you met on your way back home, going home to the smell of a delicious meal being cooked by your mother, ending the day with your family watching a cringe reality show which all of you low-key enjoy.

There's at least one little thing in your day worth being grateful for. These little things might not always be a core memory in your mind, but it once made you feel a positive emotion, it made you smile or even laugh and boosted up you serotonin levels and that is special in its own ways.

Once you learn to be grateful for these little things, you will fall in love with life a little more and hate it a little less.

I hope reading this was your little thing today<3

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

Black Lives Matter

'There comes a time when silence is betrayal'.   -Martin Luther King .  To where it all started… Let's go back in time to the year 2013- The year 2013 which has made all difference by celebrating the acknowledgment of the existence of black lives, when the never answered injustice in the form of racism was questioned. Black lives matter is the world famous movement which signifies the contribution of the black folks in the society. The movement came to life against the white supremacy because of the deadly oppression and the brutal behaviour faced by the black race community. The movement black lives matter focuses on changing the mindset of racists that there is no black-white, African-American, the only race is Human race. In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman who

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a taboo or a so-called han
