To tell ye the truth it's been keeping me up for months and I'm in no way complaining. It's just that e ideas and inspirations that are plaguing my mind and heart is just joyfully overwhelming that amusingly my body took a beating from it with the lack of sleeping and suppressed appetite...which isn't bad for any lady who wants to lose a pound or 2...or 3 or 4.

I may not be confident nor sure and most probably not the epitome of saintly perfection, but I most certainly wish the best for others as equally possible as I wish for myself.<div>Naive? Perhaps in our time and day but I'd rather leave this earth with thought that I was in no way selfish in sincerely wishing the same level of joy as I would wish for myself. </div><div>The reason I'm pouring my heart out about this topic is because I have discovered a certain aspect of my personality that I need not be too open with. And that is open kindness. Many will mistaken it as an excuse to belittle you when there is so much fascinating angles to your individuality but sadly shallow people will mistaken it or you for a simpleton who has no depth (and I believe everyone has a depth of an ocean in them).</div><div> </div><div>Sad really, how we learn to be more cautious, and distant ourselves from such negativity only to be accused of arrogance or other unkind characteristics when it's merely a direct message that you choose to openly show your value and that you will not allow anyone to treat you or give you anything that is less than what you deserve and most certainly less than what they'd wish for themselves. </div><div><br></div><div>It's not anger but rather than disappointment that when you enforce your sense respect and self worth you are not welcomed. However I choose to embrace my inner intellectual and dignified nature over superficial insincerity.</div><div><br></div><div>There!

Nothing specific today. Just random thoughts that plagued my mind as I drove back from the gym and found myself home alone. Here we go.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>If you don't think highly of yourself no one will. andwhatever you do in life, do it true.</li>
<li>Sometimes you need to get your s**t together to make it during rough times...you just need to act like a lady (when you really want to act like a hoodlum thug and stomp on some ugly mugs *sigh* positive thoughts Noora, positive thoughts..roses..roses..pretty roses..there, better)</li>
<li>I want to go to paris and walk in the small empty narrow streets. (Not the Champs Elysee...too touristy for my taste, lovely, but not my favourite street)</li>
<li>I think I'm an eye poet..similar to a poet but instead of saying beautiful words I show beautiful images, I'm not saying I'm a photographer but I can humbly say that I share beautiful hard to find images on my blog and instagram : )</li>
<li>I always thought there's a sunlight in every person...till I met a few people who proved me wrong, I mean these people made the eclipse in that stupid foofoo lala vampire movie look bright. I mean i'm talking pitch black darkness in these people... I MEAN I can see some kindness in Terminator from the first Terminator One where he was the evil machine coming to kill Sarah Connor and my God how did I remember her name... *goosebumps* . How do people go from day to day with such hatred and cruelty?</li>
<li>Need to read Think like a Man and like a Lady cause many people are telling me that Steve Harvey's sense of humour is one that I will enjoy as I've been whinning about not being able to force myself to hold a book (is this a phase that people go through after studying and working excessively for a long period of time?)</li>
</ul>
Mind went blank and lighter...mission accomplished.<br />

My love for roses runs deep. Though for a long time I always show distaste in anything that is romantic I confess i am absolutely a hopeless romantic towards roses. <br />
I thank God for creating these fragile beauties that have thorns to protect itself....sort of like us ladies who require to show an assertive exterior to protect ourselves from the monstrosity and deceit of reality.<br />
<br />
“But he who dares not grasp the thorn <br />Should never crave the rose.” <br />― Anne Brontë<br />

Though three days have passed I've finally managed to pull myself together and actually write on my blog...I think with twitter, facebook and now instagram I have spread myself thin and lost track of writing down on my thoughts here.<br />
<br />
2012 has been an interestingly challenging year for me mentally and physically both negatively and positively. The highlights of it is getting my masters. never thought i'd ever get this done but elhumdellah i'm humbled and happy to have completed it and in a field that i love (Diplomacy and Internationa Affairs)...I hope I'll enhance myself intellectually in that field in the near future inshAllah. Another is realising more than ever that family is everything...people come and go, everything comes and go but family remains true and i'm grateful i've realised it more than ever.<br />
<br />
The not so highlights of this year is struggling to accept some of my imperfect traits and fixing it (trust me, admitting it is one thing but fixing it is a whole different game!). Also discovering true colours of many people (some who became close friends while others were individuals who didn't have the best intention at heart). <br />
<br />
I truly hope that 2013 will be......no wait i rephrase that. With what I have experienced and learned from 2012 I have to utilize it for 2013 now that the hard tests made me wiser and calmer. I'm pleased to say that I have reached a calm stage in my life and that hardships dont shake me up like it used to, no i am not saying that i morphed into robocop (robocop?...God that's old lol!) but I think more...and more....and think..then i say quielty to myself elhumdellah 3ala kel 7al. I assure you it took me so long to reach this stage but it was worth it.<br />
<br />
Forgive me if this post does not reflect the best of my penmanship but Russel Crowe's Gladiator is on and my attention to my post is quickly deteriorating lol.<br />
<br />
Here's to a start full of positivity success and happiness to all of you and your loved ones.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

<br />
I couldn't sleep. Had so much to get off my chest and it's 4 in the morning, so accepting the fact that I will pull an all nighter (might as well go early to the gym before work) I figured that I needed to vent out my thoughts and I'm so glad that I remembered the empty pages of my beloved blog waiting for me ti fill it with what's weighting my heart down.<br />
I miss parts of my past (don't we all?)<br />
I've just finished my Masdters in Diplomacy and International Affairs from Zayed University AD and though I received well wishes and some flowers from my lovely frineds I can't seem to help but feel...empty. As if it's not much of an acheivement for me...why?! I thought to myself. After to long years of being taken to AD and back to Dubai while studying in the car I just feel very little to no sense of acheivement.<br />
Forgive me all if this post seems unorganised (those who got use to the posts on my blog know by now my writing style so for those first timers, I apologize). <br />
Now, going back to my point of missing the past....I feel there some parts of it that I would have liked to correct it or at least wished I was wiser back then, I know, I sound immature about lamenting about things that have gone and are in the past (not everything mind you, some incedents I am glad have occured and some people removed from my life, I promise no regrets there.) but I can't conjure the strength in me to fight this heavy thought of What if, or, I could have/ I should have/I have said the right things...I don't know. Al I know that I feel slightly empty.<br />
I feel a bit tired from giving as well, I just don't have the energy to give and I truly wish I'd start living for me...I've been so busy trying to be impressive and now I just need space I do not want to be extremely career oriented nor a superficial lazy gal. I, in no way find the concept of a 'obsessively career driven women' appealing. Never did, never will and I never want to be in that category for I have seen these ladies in action and it's frightening. They're obsessed in taking down one another to be in the spotlight....no I don't want to be one of them. I just want to be my simple self. Having a simple desk job and doing research on what I love (risk management and geopolitical risks...I know what you're thinking...that is NOT simple lol). <br />
You know what I truly want to be? A florist. Yes a florist. Not just any entreupeneur who owns a shop, but to own it and work with flowers : ) . The very thought of that makes me smile.<br />
<br />
Maybe I know think about it while running on the treadmill in an hour since I've got 1 hour left to get ready for work. Elhumdellah, I'm just glad I wrote bits and peices of my thoughts here, I feel lighter at heart right now. Should get back to my writing as it's always been a sanctuary for me.<br />

Friends,<br />
I honestly can't believe it took me this long to get my act together and return to my sanctuary I call my swinging chandelier. I promised myself tonight that ill return back to ending my days with my evenings thoughts that always helped me clear my mind. Stay tuned and brace yourselves. For I have changed...I think the appropriate old be blossomed.<br />
More to come inshAllah<br />

Friends, I have never been this busy since...actually I have never been this busy period! But decided today to stop spreading myself thin and focus on my priorities. It's been a long process but I believe i am back on track inshAllah.<br />
Things started calming down from balancing school work, corporate work and social life...actually scratch social life I had none for months!<br />
But Now I promise I'm back and will be able to write more often inshAllah.<br />
<br />
Lotsa<br />
