32 Things

Dearest ladies and gents

One year later, i'm back here, feels home, a bit too dusty, i know, it's been a very tough but good year.
İ don't like sharing my life, and don't have enough time or energy to talk products and take photos and selfies anymore. i teach all day then go home really exhausted and pretty late for taking decent product photos (because you know daylight is key ) and have no one to take my photos (but that's not something new, right?) anyhow, dear loyal readers, i think i'll still come and chat here, because you know i LOVE writing about stuff, i can't promise you that i'll be constant but i'll do my bestest.

i know you guys are more interested in the young bloggers whose followers are not less than 10k, if you're still here, checking my post despite all the bloggers craze , know that i appreciate it more than you think.

Dec 1st was my birthday, i turned 32, and it still feels super weird to be in my thirties, yet, super comfortable and more confident than ever. i am also so very thankful for so many things this past year, here are 32 things I learned along the way:


1- Education and degrees mean nothing if the person has no manners.
2- Pray for the little blessings to last.
3-The better person you become (are) the harder life gets.
4-writing is my form of art
5- Stop expecting a lot from people marwa, STOP
6-the bigger your bag is, the more junk you'll be staffing it with; True story
7-Handwriting makes me smarter. Walah !
8-Mental health is as important as physical health
9-Guys (almost) always lie.
10-Some people won't like you because you don't join their gossip sessions
11-Last year (this year) I have cried more than i cried my entire life, empathy tears, sad tears, happy tears, I want a baby tears, you name it !!
12-my whole life i thought i was a mean bitch, this year i realized that i have never been one.

18-my To Do List obsession is getting stronger by the day ( I often check it all, walah ! )
19- I hate exercising
20-I'm more open to the "who knows, maybe"
21- I have some not so dangerous kind of an OCD. it's hereditary
22-I'm turning into my mom, and i'm loving it.
23-Not drinking has always been an issue in Tunis, but not in Istanbul where almost everyone drinks. funny, isn't it ?
24- I hate hate hate casual dating.
25- I remember people's birthdays without a Facebook notification (crazy, right? *sarcasm alert*)
26-I can't sleep without something to watch, preferably happy and funny
27-I felt free the day I turned 30
28-my 31st birthday felt like i was 13, super amazing, super fun, and super childish, just the way i like it!
29- I strongly believe in karma, do good, because it will turn to you
30-Calligraphy, Oh Calligraphy
31- Caffeine doesn't affect me anymore
32- They asked why do i look so young and wrinkle free ( like are you supposed to have wrinkles by 30??) i told them, it's in the heart, it's young and open and warm.

Enjoy your life and take no bullshit from no one, why? Because you don't have to .


Stay Forever Young
