The World is Saturated
My God, how will I deal with this *very significant* problem? Everything’s so saturated. A couple of weeks ago, when the COVID-19 pandemic really started to get worse, my friend and I came up with a portable bidet idea. It was brilliant, and we were so excited to get it to market. From an engineering […]
Life can be Amazing
There’s so much that can be said about the universe we’re a part of. It seems as though the more we learn the less we know. Expanding inexhaustibly, the universe is bewildering to the human mind. With its exactness and accuracy, one has to ask how something so awe-inspiring came to be. Although we as […]
It Wasn’t the Same
I was talking to a friend yesterday, babbling on about how amazing my apartment in Denver back in 2012-2015 was (2210). She then made the following comment: “but you went back and it wasn’t the same.” In truth, I’ve been trying to go back to that time ever since I left it, but obviously haven’t […]
Excitement of the Past
I miss the excitement I used to have at the prospect of migrating from one place to another to start a totally new journey on my own. I honestly like how scary it is to think about how my life gets disheveled whenever I move, but also how comforting it is to know that I […]
Nighttime Me Vs. Daytime Me
Sometimes I write silly quick notes that I decide not to expand on or share with anyone. Last night, as I was listening to music and simultaneously walking around my tiny studio apartment, I wrote: “I mourn every day that passes” When I woke up this morning, I reflected back and decided it’d be silly […]
I’m stuck
Friendship is not about unchecked comfort
I do a good job at distancing most of the people I interact with on a daily basis. It’s usually natural for me to dictate right away whether or not a person would be a good fit for me (as a friend or whatever), but sometimes I have to get close to them first. With […]
Sleep Walking + Electricity
Don’t know if I’ve mentioned it in this blog before, but I’m a chronic sleepwalker. I had some very intense episodes when I was younger. My mom asked for possible ‘corrective solutions’ from my therapist uncle, but his input was absolutely useless. He regurgitated something along these lines: “it’s probably because he eats before he […]
I’ve Been Weirdly Persistent
I’ve lived a lot of the past couple of years in solitude. There hasn’t been a permanence to much, partly because I’ve moved from one place to another without giving it much thought. Before moving back to Jordan in 2016, I excitedly and intensely expected that it would be the first step to the fulfilment […]
I Left A Lot ‘Incomplete’
My last semester of college was crazy- I had no idea what the next step in my life was going to be. Most importantly, I was fearful that I’d eventually grow distant from the experiences of the first three years of college. I didn’t know what to do. On one late night spent in contemplation, […]
