They’re crowning

[mashriqiyyah]

Things that remain only between you and your Rabb, reap beautiful patience and peace.

Things like your sorrows and pain, the brokenness of your heart and the way it shatters and rebuilds with grief in solitude. Things like the void left by those who aren't there anymore, your love for all that you buried deep within you. Things like, the truth of your soul, the purity of intentions you made. The silence that you chose before people, the sad smiles you give everytime something hurts you. Things like some of those Dua' that never left your lips and remained caged in your self, the honesty you held for everyone.

Keep it between you and Allah. The contentment of silence isn't in speech. The tranquility of being understood only by your Rabb isn't in baring your soul to the creation. The beauty of life isn't in holding on to anything of this world but in smiling graciously and letting it go.

The Barbie movie reminded me about how when I was little my parents were upset that I kept making my Barbie dolls kiss, so they bought me a Ken doll. The next day they found me having a funeral for poor Ken in the garden, he had died of tuberculosis. All the Barbies were in attendance and I buried him under our rose bush. The Barbies were too poor to afford a headstone (it was 1875) so I didn’t mark where the grave was and I never could find him again. He’s probably still there.

the urge to write is like a cat meowing for dear life for someone to open the goddamn door, who then shows utter disinterest in said open door

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

The thing about healing no one tells us is that it will make you feel disgusted a lot of times. Whenever you'll look back at the situations you plunged yourself into .. the things you desired and...the people you loved. There will be a terrible disgust. And you'll have to forgive your past self and use that disgust as a compass to direct you away from seeking unhealthy attachments.

i'm the guy who writes the books that the protagonist in supernatural horror movies frantically reads somewhere in act ii. job's pretty easy. lot of "legends of vampires have recurred all throughout human history" and "demonologists agree that the quickest way to un-summon a demon is to trap it in a cursed object". no citations of course; they don't pay me citation money. i had to learn html back in the early aughts when everyone started seeking their supernatural info on websites they found via top search engines like FINDLER and WEBSIGHT but that's died down now which is great because i didn't have it in me to pick up css. currently working on a new book about horses that are evil. it's called HORSES THAT ARE EVIL in all caps so the protagonist can find it quickly to yank off the library shelf. it will be published 35 years ago.

earlier today i told an acquaintance in passing that i'll often be in the middle of a novel and think "man i wish this shit were more ambiguous" and had to reiterate twice that i wasn't being sarcastic before they believed me, so this post is to say: i love when writers don't bother to explain everything, i love when stories end uncertain and unsettling, i love being required to think as a reader, i love when stuff makes no damn sense, no i'm not kidding
