Bismillaah  I learned a few things. And holy..we definitely need to be more open and expressive about things. One of my younger sisters told me something that really made me smile today. And I was impressed, all the insight she gathered, she was just making sense, like actual sense. And I really was feeling it, she left me feeling so happy. So as I was about to leave to go upstairs I took her hand and held it in appreciation. Then we starting to talk about the "perfect handshake." haha. Ever meet someone and they give you this dead, limp hand shake that doeesnt tighten in grip at all? Like it just hangs there and your forced to grab it tighter, but it hurts to do so because it seems the person doesnt wanna have anything to do with you (because of their resistance). You know, a persons handshake can tell AOT about a person, about their personality, level of confidence and determination and even strength of character too...So perfecting ones handshake could do wonders f

Bismillaaah I wanna write tonight because wow. Haha I dont know whats happening but I just feel like like writing can relieve me of whatever I'm feeling right now.

Like its not even about you anymore, its about them and getting what they want. But what about you, and

It's amazing what love can do for a person’s well being and growth. It's like a fundamental thing for healthy functioning relationships. Even as children, we wouldn't have grown up to be healthy individuals if it wasn't for the love and nurturing we had when we were younger from our parents. I don't think anything's different now when we get older. We still need  to feel loved in our everyday lives. Those small things. Knowing that someone cares for us, that were still remembered, that we are thought well of, that we're respected and appreciated. Normally we don't express these needs when we get older because it can be awkward. It's awkward to tell someone that we're upset because they didn't think of us, or remember us. Especially because it's something we want so badly. They say emotional vulnerability is what makes relationships thrive. But the problem is that most of us do not want to become to expressive of our thoughts, feeling
