Note to Self:
Stress, anger, guilt, insecurity, jealousy, doubt, and hate are all derived from fear. These emotions do nothing for you (or anyone else) but waste energy.
Don’t fuel fear. Convert it into love.

مآ أجمّل أنْ تصمتْ .. فيْ ؤجهْ منْ ينتظرْ منِك الخِصَام .. ! وما أجمل أنْ تضحك فيْ وجهْ منْ يُنتظرْ منك البكـاءْ ..!
How beautiful is it to stay silent
When someone expects you to be enraged from them.
And how beautiful it is to laugh
When someone thinks you are going to shed tears.

I know it sounds strange, but I commend my friends for loving me and for putting up with my shit.
I am relatively easy to like, but I don’t always make myself easy to love.

Did you know that people,
people of every human color,
“race”, religion, place, background, neighborhood, belief, culture, upbringing, perspective, etc.
can be
compassionate, intelligent, respectful, worthy of respect, giving, hilarious, beautiful, loving, creative, nurturing, complex, strong, sensual, lovable etc.
It’s a matter of opening your eyes and your mind....

I’ve really grown to love appearing ethnically ambiguous.
I’ve heard it all….no joke. Persian, Hawaiian, Blasian (“Black and Asian”), Latina, Carribean, “Coloured” (the South African racial classification)), Indian, Alien (yeah…), Egyptian, Greek, Italian, and the list goes on.
It can certainly be annoying, but ultimately it allows me to transcend...
