In the Dusty Cobwebs of My Mind
I believed it was the one thing I could rely on, the one thing I could run to, the one thing I could escape to after I had been soaked in the hardships of the storm and burnt by the fierceness of the sun.
And yet it failed me. Or perhaps I failed the one thing I thought I could rely on. My writing, my passion, my essence. It has evaporated like steamed water on a blazing hot day. It has escaped from me, when it was my only escape.
It has been months since I have picked at my pen with my thoughts. It has been months since I bugged my keyboard with my hopes and dreams, my wit and charm. It’s all gone.
Or perhaps this little moment in time is a way for it to return, to feature in a sequel, to complete the journey I set out on many years ago. Perhaps allowing myself five minutes to reflect, to dig up my thoughts, will allow a clearing in the dusty cobwebs of my mind.
But one step at a time, I will not get carried away. Today I write, I yearn for my love, my essence, my writing to return. Perhaps that will be enough, for today.
“New Hijab” Styles that Aren’t Hijab!
I came across this video and laughed my head off, as it touches upon a pretty important topic whilst keeping light-hearted. It reflects my views on the “new hijab” which I have been talking about for over a year now. In this video the presenter talks about the different styles of “new hijab” which are not actually the correct Islamic hijab.
This is not looking down on people who do not wear the hijab properly. It is just showing that there is a correct way for us to work towards.
