No writing, No sleeping!

2 :10 AM. Those are the numbers I’m reading on my clock as I officially give up on sleeping. At least for now. I’ve been tossing & turning for the longest now but sleep has apparently decided to play hide & seek tonight. So I thought, why not seek it through writing? Writing that I’ve been abandoning. […]

The promise…

The sun is rising in the sky as I sit in front of my computer. The early morning breeze is slipping through my windows as I hopelessly coerce myself to sleep. It is 5:30AM. August 19th. And my eyes are wide open. My mind working. Thinking. Reeling. One question is playing like a broken record. […]

I get nervous. All the time. For everything. And I hate it. I don’t know where it stems from. I don’t know if it’s a character trait or if it’s something curable but I’m practically nervous all day everyday. And you’re probably wondering now “How is that possible” while rolling your eyes & regretting clicking […]

#SeeWhatsPossible

I’m a dreamer. I’ve always been a dreamer. I’ve always known that I’m a dreamer. Ever since I was a child, I had my head in the clouds. My favorite moment of the day was storytelling right before bed with my dad. My dad is the one who instilled in me my love for reading […]

No scars to your beautiful, self.

Dear self, It’s me again. I’m coming to you today for another matter. For yet another thing that you need to work on. Yet another thing that you need to improve. Yet another thing that you need to learn to love about yourself. Your worth. Yes you know, the way you perceive yourself. I know […]

I am Titanium!

It’s heavy. Very heavy. And it hurts. It really hurts. This is my first thought as soon as I lift the bag full of groceries off of the floor of the crowded supermarket. Bottles of juice, several heavy cleaning products, huge cereal boxes are now slaying my back & shoulder. And not in a Beyonce […]

Dear Self…

Hang on. Stay strong. Keep working hard. Keep dreaming big. Don’t give up. Don’t you ever give up! I know things may seem hard lately. I know you feel hopeless & kind of discouraged. I know you are hurting & doubting. I know you are tired of faking a smile all day long. I know […]

LOVE YOURSELF.

I’m smart. I’m funny. I’m fun. I’m witty. I’m strong. I’m independent. And as much as I don’t want to say this due to some big confidence issues, I’m beautiful. You hear that self? You’re smart. You’re funny. You’re fun. You’re witty. You’re strong. You’re independent. You’re beautiful. Now keep reading those words again & […]

Sometimes, It is ok to fail too.

I’ve been racking my brain for quite some time now trying to figure out why I’ve been having a hard time adjusting to the college life. Ever since I’ve left my home country Tunisia & came to Toulouse, France for my studies I’ve been adjusting. Never feeling really at my place. Always having my guard […]

Love the nerd in you!

You know when you’re a kid & you get good grades at school. Often times you’re even the darling of the teacher. You like it. You’re proud of it. Unlike your dissipated friends, you don’t get to sit through the parents-teacher meetings with your head hanging low acting as if you were ashamed of your […]
