I’m feel like I’m about to have another anxiety attack and puke my insides out.

During my final year of high school, I remember my older sister telling me to be patient with my parents because once I move out, I will “realise that they only have our best interests in mind”. Stubbornly, I refused. I had this belief that my parents were acting contrary to how I wished they would act because they wanted to irk me. They were doing a great job.
Now that I’m in...
Thinking of creating a new blog on insomnia and how much it sucks.
I can't believe I'm saying this...
My circulatory system is in a funk.
Understand that, as a girl who used to be in tip top shape, this is a hard and embarrassing truth to admit. But alas, this is the reality! I really should change this fact. A simple jog and stretch is enough to make my toes numb. It’s that bad.
I really do think this is where all the anxiety attacks are coming from. This lack of exercise, I mean.

When I was a lot younger, I asked my mum who her best friend was. She told me she didn’t have one and I thought it was ridiculous because I couldn’t imagine life without my immense group of friends. She proceeded to tell me that when I am older, I will find out that I cannot simply rely on friends for help because there will be very few to none. Young Kristine disliked what my own mum...
I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost a year now and we still haven’t gone on a date in the movie theatres yet.
I dislike having to sit through movies without pausing half an hour in. And not having subtitles.

creativelybored asked: Though I kinda remember something about you having a Sherlock Holmes anthology, someone reblogged a post of several books and short stories in pdf form (for curiosity's sake, it's here: barafundle. tumblr. com/post/16044097550 ) - though you mentioned he doesn't really interest you, Gaiman had said some interesting things about piracy ( youtube. com/watch?v=0Qkyt1wXNlI ), so I was...

Spoken Word: On Racism
Unlike many Calgarians my age, I didn’t spend my childhood days shaping a snowman’s face or learning that the greatest hockey team on NHL was the Flames. Instead, I spent an awful lot of time expelling sand from my left shoe and replaced the question “what?” with its Arabic equivalent “shu?” See, I grew up in the Middle East where men kissed each others’ cheeks as a greeting and prayed five times...

You refuse to compromise, yet expect others to yield for you? Life is not that easy, dearie.

I seem to be doing a lot of praying lately.
I may be praying for different people for different problems but in essence, I pray for everyone’s peace of mind. Peace of mind after a devastating loss, a devastating disease, a devastating house/apartment fire, a devastating series of earthquakes… Everything is so apocalyptic. It’s difficult to stay positive sometimes. But I will keep praying.

Anonymous asked: I'm only saying this as a counter argument, not a personal dig. But have you listened to Never Grow Up? Or Breathless? Or Best Day? Or Mary's Song? Or Innocent? And honestly I don't know anyone who writes poetry as beautiful as Taylor. And I understand, You Belong With Me is a horrible song. Even as a fan of hers I can admit that. As is Love Story to a certain extent. But most of...

Lessons on Perspective
Once upon a time, I believed that blessings foreshadowed tragedies and whatever makes its way up must eventually come down. I was suspicious of everyone’s intentions and I always had to figure out whether there was an ulterior motive to a kind gesture.
The glass always had to be half empty.
At one point, I let the cynicism take over my life, my relationships and my very being. I minimized...

Potentially Unpopular Opinion:
I dislike Taylor Swift. A lot.
Note: As much as it bothers me that she is guilty of slut-shaming in a couple of her songs, I’m not going to get into that because it would be arbitrary to argue seeing as I’d be doing to her exactly what she does to non-virgins. So no, that is not why I dislike her immensely.
I dislike her for a couple of reasons. Of course, I’m not asking...

A friend just lost his mum. I didn’t ask how or why because I understand he’s not one to share personal information like that and I respect that. I do wish I could do more than just say cliché phrases and that I’m sorry to hear about his devastating loss though. I want to give him a hug, slap him in the face to stop pretending he’s perfectly alright… But perhaps he...

Potentially Unpopular Opinion:
Whenever I’m on instagram, there’s this girl who tags 99.9% of her pictures with #lesbian. Now I don’t have anything against her or lesbians or homosexuals, I just fail to understand why she has to tag every single photograph with the word “lesbian”. Why does she have to constantly put it on loudspeaker that she is lesbian?
Don’t get me wrong, though. I think...
