Sharing a piece of me To enlighten some of you!

Why being a control freak saved my life
Ok so being a control freak has not saved my life in a literal sense, but in a more figurative way it has. Ever since I can recall I have enjoyed being in control of my life, this is quite a normal thing for every individual however for me my need for control has and does go a bit off track. Meaning I would avoid situations where I don’t have or don’t perceive control which has greatly taken a toll on my social life. That’s not such a terrible thing for me because my social life consists of a few people who truly matter but its unhealthy nonetheless.
My need for control consequently gave rise to my need for purpose, what I mean by this is that I only do things which have and seem to have a purpose for me in my life. And that seems quite acceptable! And lets face it, it is! But the problem manifests when you attribute and recognize different countries and places as holding and portraying a specific purpose. It has come to my attention through counseling that I have turned myself into a living eating and breathing robot, literally! I have assigned different attributes of myself to different geographical locations! You may be wondering what the hell I am talking about so let me explain.
As we all know (now) I am a student in a country that I am not a native of (born and raised in) and from my above mentioned topic and discussions we know I am in this country for a purpose, and that purpose is merely gain as much knowledge and experience without forgetting the most important purpose GETTING THE DEGREE preferably with honors! We probably all know by now that I have associated this country with the acquisition of my tertiary education therefore while in this country I am literally a robot who lives and breaths GET THE DEGREE!
Fun is a foreign ‘left back at my parents house’ concept. To all the parents out there reading this you are probably thinking “well that’s how its supposed to be” and I am in total agreement cuz that’s what I’ve been doing over the years and its what my parents either consciously or unconsciously or even both, suggested I should do from the day I left home for the first time. I am not going to say what exactly my parents told me but I am sure its more or less the same as every other parent has said to their child as they go off to university.
I don’t think of myself as being that one person who does this so I will simply go ahead and assume that I am not the only one. And if any of this makes sense and rings a bell for you then now you know as well that you are not alone...

I would like to steal a few minutes of your life to inform you of the ongoing campaign for gender equality. This is not feminism rather Humanism. I urge both males and females to take up an active role in ending inequalities faced not only by women and girls but by men and boys as well. As long as males are forced to conform to societal stereotypes that entail their gender role, women will continue to suffer as a byproduct. It is time we employ a gender neutral attitude and diminish gender inequality.
Men: I ask you to speak out against the inequalities faced by women an girls. Start by visiting www.heforshe.org and actively offer your heartfelt support towards this humane cause.
Women: it is our duty to raise awareness to the best of our capabilities, and encourage the men and boys in our lives to support the gender equality movement.

🚻If not you, who? If not now, when?

Thank you for your participation towards a better world for the whole of mankind. 👫👭👬

Now you see me...

"La foi peut déplacer des montagnes"

So I finally went to the cinema, and I must say I was extremely pleased with the movie. The movie was so spectacular and mind blowing that I just had to blog about it. Jesse Eisenberg (J. Daniel), Mark Ruffalo (Dylan), Woody Harrelson (Merritt), Isla Fisher (Henley), Dave Franco (Jack) and Morgan Freeman (Thaddeus) were among the cast and as I concurred the main actors of the movie ‘Now you see me’ directed by Louis Leterrier.

For most of the people who have watched ‘now you see me’ the movie may seem to be merely about magicians robbing a bank playing Robin Hood, a fun and interesting movie. However what I believe is that the movie is all about faith hence the heading for my post “la foi peut deplacer des montagnes” French for “faith can move mountains”. The movie is much bigger than just robbing banks and stealing from the rich to give to the poor, it’s about blindly believing in something or someone. The ‘four horsemen’ as the magicians call themselves display great amounts of faith when they set their differences aside and work hand in hand to execute the tasks assigned to them by ‘The eye’, The eye being a secret society for magicians. Thus the four magicians acted out the tasks provided to them by a society that they themselves had no proof existed hence relying only on their faith in the existence of the society.
Secondly, I suppose the movie is also a way of saying that we need to look past the ‘now’ and consider the ‘later’, thinking ahead and planning ahead. To live, not just for now but for the future. Even though YOLO has been a hit, doesn’t mean you will die anytime soon so instead of living for today! Tonight! Now! We have to consider tomorrow! The next day! And well ahead into the future...

The movie can be interpreted in several ways, it can be ‘just another movie’ simply to entertain us or it could be a life lesson. If you haven’t watched it yet I recommend you do and I am confident you will not regret it...

Let me know what you think of it

This has been bugging me it has been eating me up inside it’s been an anchor weighing me down. Religious people piss me off so badly that I sometimes wonder why they have the audacity to claim and think that they are the ones who are walking on the right path the path to heaven. Don’t get me wrong I am happy for them and I admire their strength to avoid worldly temptations and everything that does not contribute to our savings account for getting into heaven, but who gives them the right to condemn people who are simply just trying to fight the devil and find the light.

I am not a saint and I remember pointing this out on my first blog post, but I most certainly do not deserve to be told (directly nor indirectly) that I am on the path to hell! Seriously you don’t know me you have no idea what I am doing, No clue about what goes on in my mind and most certainly you do not know my motives and intentions in doing what I do.

This young lady that had me so mad decided that she has the power to determine who goes where, I choose to believe that she had the best intentions in mind for doing what she did but it just didn’t sit with me right. I was offended and insulted, because she does not know me! Apart from the mask I let her see AND LETS KEEP THIS IN MIND WE ALL HAVE MASKS (FRONTS) THAT WE PUT UP IN PUBLIC AND WE HAVE A DIFFERENT FACE FOR DIFFERENT SETTINGS WE HAVE A DAUGHTER MASK SISTER MASK WIFE MASK EMPLOYEE/ EMPLOYER MASK WE HAVE MASKS FOR EVERY SITUATION AND THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT (trust me on this one I am majoring in psychology and I’ve been studying communication science so I am honestly not making any of this up, it is not just an idea it’s a text book fact)
Anyway so back to this religious young lady who managed to get into my head posted a picture on Facebook. The picture had two staircases, the one on the right leading to heaven and the one on the left to hell and so she tagged a whole lot of us some on the stairs leading to heaven, some still in-between and some on the stairs to hell. Take a wild guess where I was placed, yes I according to her am on the path to the burning scorching eternal fires of hell. My first reaction was (mais pour quoi?) I must admit I felt bad but then I decided it’s just a picture so I went on with my jolly life. However as the days passed the thought just kept coming back to me and the answer as to why she believes I am on the guest list to hell never arrived. Clearly I’m still bothered by the fact that I was tagged on that picture of hers.

So what gives mere humans the right to do such a thing? I admit I haven’t been the best Muslim young lady out there but I’m not that horrible I try my best to be an ideal person but I am certainly not perfect I have flaws and weaknesses but that doesn’t give anyone the right to judge my loyalty and my faith towards my creator. This is how he created me a flawed young lady who will find her way into the light and out of the darkness. ‘Rome wasn’t conquered in a day’ it will take time but I will be the ideal Muslim some day.

I may not dress like an ideal Muslim most of the time but at least I respect myself and my religion. Just because you dress more religious and act more religious does not make you a better person.

I hate people who think they are better than others we are all equals we are mere humans we are all going to die and answer to our creator, so don’t judge me nor decide my fate because as far as I’m concerned you did not create me, you do not feed me nor shelter me.

I’m glad that’s of my chest.

I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins because he treats me as a flower girl, and always will: but I know I can be a lady to you, because you always treat me as a lady, and always will"
