Get to know me!




Hi there lovelies!
I believe there's a virtual connection between any writer/blogger and their readers. As a keen reader myself, I like to get engrossed in writers' biographies and how they reached where they are now. So, here's a brief get-to-know-me.

I wasn't initially born with my nose stuck in a book. My love for poetry, music and books didn't start at a very young age, however I tried my best to embrace this passion, and enhance my ability to write somewhat decently as I added years to my age. I adore classic novels, "Pride and Prejudice", "Emma" and "Northanger Abbey" being my favorite by Jane Austen. Then comes "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott and then others. Although I'm not a big fan of Shakespeare, but I may delightfully enjoy a good piece of similar works of drama every once in a while.


I was always known, through my scholastic years, as the shy, quiet, unsociable girl who preferred loneliness over loud company. I have constantly dreamed of doing numerous things but didn't even try them out because my fears of failing always held me back. I went through a lot of virtual battles with my subconscious before finally deciding to start this blog. If I'm not heard out loud because of my voice, then words will do.


These entries are entirely based on true situations that I've been through. They were originally a bunch of random thoughts and rants in the weirdest hours of the night or just torn pages from my diary from when I was about 12 years old, so I've gathered what I've been through, whether pleasant or nasty, re-edited and re-phrased them so that they could be readable.  

If you made it this far, then be sure that it made my day! Don't be a ghost reader, check out the contact details and send me suggestions, your opinion, or anything that comes to your mind!

Note: I accept constructive criticism, please don't be rude 💗

Feminism 'fɛmɪnɪz(ə)m' (noun) the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the genders. Being a woman/girl in the 21st century means facing some challenges when it comes to building up your career, starting a family or even getting paid like your fellow male colleague for doing the same task at work. I'm not saying women are oppressed or that they can't find their voices in a world deafened by men's opinions, however it would be nice to know where we stand. (I won't surely be talking about the political and social movements or even the "ideologies" of feminism. That could be extremely pedantic.) Let's take a peek on the 19th century for instance. Imagine yourself adorning that vexatious corset beneath a long gown, because you are forced to do so by society. Women were expected to embroider cushions, paint portraits, play the piano forte, read extensively and speak languages fluently...

Mea sola vetus amicus

Dear old friend, It’s me. I can’t begin to express how sorry I am for leaving you this long without an update. It’s been almost 2 years since you’ve last heard of me or any of my news and to say a lot has changed would definitely be the understatement of the century. I’m a much-grown woman now with a different perspective, but I’m somehow still the same. The same aspirations, the same feelings, the same dreams, and most importantly, rooted in the same ground. The past two years have thrown me into quite a turmoil of emotions. The crests and troughs that were thrown at me were more than what an average person could tolerate, but I made it through, scathed tho. Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons, doesn’t it? It goes either one punch at a time so that you can barely have time to register or anticipate when the coming one would be, or throw it all at once with all the might there is so that you can barely stand up again. I’ve experienced both in the form of failed friendships,...

The Holy Land

  It’s known that God has blessed the region between Al-Arish and Euphrates river. It was anciently known as Canaan.  Canaan, the name of the Arabian tribes that lived there. During those years, some prophets and God’s messengers lived and were raised there. It was the land that endured a lot throughout the years.  It’s also widely known that both World wars (I and II) have left a significant impact on most countries, some of which are still suffering from the severe consequences of these wars to this present moment. The most popular struggling case is the occupied land of Palestine. Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time of the first World War, and since the world at the time was divided into two blocs; The Triple Entente (consisted of Britain, France, and Russia) and The Triple Alliance (consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy). Germany at the time had signed a mutual defence treaty with the Ottoman Empire, which meant that the Ottoman Empire was ...
