I feel really tough right now. I’ve conquered so many of my fears, accomplished so many things, and accepted many aspects of myself. I feel like I’m really making progress on living life as I want to live it. I’m very, very excited for Thanksgiving.

poorlywrittenhistory:
Lately, I have been spending time reflecting over the purpose of nonfiction writing. Dorothy Allison maybe said it best when she said once that we tell stories to survive, to expunge what we hold inside our chests and in the pit of our gut. It seems to me, at its most basic element, we tell our…

Today's Joys
I love the 9 AM Massachusetts sun as it filters through the trees and sets the whole world on fire in a private declaration of its love for you. I love that sleepy warmth of waking up that you only get when you fall asleep and wake up to the hum of pure joy.

I’m Zubeda. I decided to make this blog to share my thoughts, art, passions, and anything else that I think is worth sharing. And maybe even the things I think aren’t worth sharing.
