About Me

Bismillah.

so many adjectives yet all of them times infinity would not be sufficient in describing "me"...or "you". we can try but really there are no words that do the evolution of the soul justice. that is who eye am. creation of the Creator. a soul evolving. for the car can crash, you can still be broke with that degree, rich and miserable, beautiful and hurting. those things are not WHO we ARE. the flesh passes, the beauty passes,even the brain passes, and what remains is something more powerful, more beautiful, more amazing then those tangible things.an eternal soul. im still becoming who i am. i strive to be a good person. sincere. kind. grateful. careful of the energy i exude. careful of the energy i accept. careful of my thoughts. for like attracts like. negativity feeds off of negativity. and vice versa. the control is ours even when its not. Creation gives me joy. the moon. the rain. flowers. water. perhaps because these are things that are untainted. purity is always comforting. these pieces of nature. they all work together. one system. whole even in their division. they balance one another. sun and moon. rain and sun. its a reminder of how we (human be.ings) should operate. collectively. they fulfill their purpose and that encourages me to fulfill mine.ours. its beautiful. all praise be to the One for carrying me this far. i've been through a lot and been through nothing. passionate and nonchalant. shy and outspoken. simple and complex. in love with truth. in love with love. infatuated with peace yet head over heels for freedom. synonyms in a sense. beautifully flawed. a conscious contradiction, as are many things in life. just striving to be right and submit myself to the Creator entirely. what is written will happen. therefore life is more than what happens it is in how we react to what happens. i strive to be. an optimistic realist cause its all in the attitude. how wide do you open your arms to embrace the struggle? its just life....
