what a night. a much needed bubble to be immersed and surrounded by Arooj’ mysterious, compelling, welcoming & encompassing voice. I haven’t been so present in a concert before. As @naz_bokhari said it felt like the power of her voice was felt throughout the room. - front center and back. Thank you @aroojaftab for the invite 🖤 may the success of your album/tour be fruitful. inshallah.

may is mental health awareness month -
here’s where my mind is
at the bottom of the pit
cherry so ripe
on the first day of spring
hopeless, helpless
I’ll give in
to the love, within
prosperity in self
no pleading for
no pleasing for
no loving for
no sacrificing for
no looking for
everything on the outside
everything is within
today i’m angry. i’m allowed to be. everything i am. everything im not.
have these words been written before?
have they been tattooed? or left as scars.
or worn as perfume? let the mind flow to where it needs to go. sometimes. it goes and goes and goes and goes. the page will turn on its own. the life. the unknown. the promise. the unforgiven. the ultimate truth.
is you and you alone.
Al Awwal Al Akhir - you are the ending and beginning of everything.
Everybody knows my name now
But somethin’ ‘bout it still feels strange
Like lookin’ in a mirror, tryna steady yourself
And seein’ somebody else
And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I’m older, it’ll all calm down
But it’s killin’ me now
Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you’d know me
‘Cause I’ve had everything
But no one’s listening
And that’s just f- lonely
