REKINDLING THE FLAME:Returning to my digital sanctuary.

Oh my goodness, guys, I can't believe I forgot about this website. The last post I made was back in July 2021. Three years have flown by, and here we are. It's amazing how time passes, isn't it? As I read through the entries I made back then, a flood of emotions washes over me.
I used to write so much and revisiting these pieces reminds me of that passion. You might be wondering why I stopped writing, why I haven't returned to it until now. Well, a friend once shared some wisdom with me: "Writer's block can take years. It is in the reading of other people's work that allows you to explore and pen at some point."
Writing, is where my heart found solace, an escape, a therapeutic journey. It served as a sanctuary amidst life's chaos, where my thoughts flow freely and emotions find expression. If you've been following me for years, you'll know how much I loved writing poetry. Would you believe me if I told you I have over eight notebooks filled with my poems? Yet, they remain unread by anyone else. I came close to publishing them once, but I didn't want to rush things—neither my writing nor my emotions. So, I put it on hold. Hopefully, one day, that book will see the light of day.
The reason I'm back here after so many years is simply to connect with you, my loyal readers. I want to ease back into this space where I share my thoughts .Think of this as my digital therapy .
As my bio on this website says, "To serve as a vessel to project my passions, my words, my thoughts, and life to my loyal readers as to what inspires me in this crazy world. So sit back, relax, and read on, and don't forget to sip a cup of coffee while you're at it."
Hopefully, this time, I'll stick around—for another cup of coffee or even for the rest of my life.
But before I sign off, I want to ask you: How are you? How are you really feeling? How have the past three years been for you? You don't need to share your answers with me, but take a moment to answer yourself honestly. (When I said this is our digital free therapy, I meant it.)
Until next time. See you.
My love!!! I remember our first connection was on your poems, how in love and in awe I were of them! I have literal goosebumps reading through this; for a couple years now I have waited with batted breaths for you to publish your book, I believe it's long long overdue, fawash is never known to do anything half heartily, so please put us out of our misery and allow us to find solace in your words
I hope & pray you stay here longer, you keep writing and blessing us with your wisdom and incredible work.
Personally the past 3 years have been something out of a movie - Alhamdulillah, and I say this with utmost certainty, I am…
Love to see it. Hope to read more pieces from you xx
