Brain slaughter: Too much to think about
Human Nature
We know plenty of people who say "I don't care about what people think". In fact you may have even said it yourself. Thing is you do really care, after saying that sentence you think a second thought about what your doing, and may even change your mind and come up with some excuse for the reason why. Think about it, why don't you think you care about what people think of you? maybe because of some personal experiences that happened in the past, and you just give up. Or you just want to be care-free. Well I'll tell you this, not caring about what people think of you, or what their opinion is, is like not caring about those people at all. From my experience you always should have some sort of opposing opinion on whatever you do, just so that you can make the right choice.
You should know that it's human nature to worry about what other people think of you, to meet their standards, even total strangers (but I must say that when it come to people being rude or offensive, just brush it off your shoulder, and don't let it bother you). Sadly almost every person here wants to be accepted into today's society, so they try acting or dressing a certain way. Listen to what people have to say, but don't try being what your not, the best thing you can do is be yourself, and turn yourself into the best person you can ever so possibly be. Dont ever change for anything, or anyone, don't be tempted to make a change to please someone else, just be who you are and you'll earn the respect from everyone around you.
What is Love?
Love isn't an easy thing to understand, there are so many ways to give or show or experience love. You can be in a room full of people you love, yet you feel very differently about every one of them. We love people in different ways, you care about their health, safety, and happiness. You love a person because of who they are. I believe your most valuable possession that you can ever give is your love.
There are different kinds of love. Giving and caring for the people around you. Helping a person in need. Loving one specific person, your soul mate.
You think you know what love is, but really you don't. It takes years, maybe your whole life to explore every nook and cranny of it, and push its boundaries, to see just how far it goes, how deep it gets, how big it becomes.
Reality
Perception : The way we see things
Deception : The way we don't
Perceptual Delusions
Conceptual Illusions
Reality : A concept
Reality : An illusion
Reality : A perception of the illusional deception that forms a concept
Concept : A perception of thought - becomes an idea.
An idea with dimension
A concept
A thought
A multi-dimensional illusion
Reality!
Can we cope?
'To cope' here is not only possible, but very beneficial. For some people their perception of reality is not, in fact, reality.
There is reality and delusion, how do we tell between the two?
You have to turn off the pixels of delusion to see the screen of reality.Normally when a computer screen is on we don't see the computer screen but we see only the image. The whole universe is projected over multidimensional canvas/screens of reality, Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual senses are actually different dimensional fabrics of that real canvas.
The Holy Quran mentions this subject as 7 dimensional tracts as basic canvas of entire set of creatures of Allah.
23:17. And We have made, above you, seven tracts; and We are never unmindful of (our) Creation.
Reality is definitely a broad topic, so many different perceptions, it's like a CIRCUS.
I think I've shared enough for now, there are just so many questions, so many things to think about. There is really no way to understand absolutely everything there is to figure out. We are discovering new things everyday.
It's truly amazing.
Mobile Uploads
One thing I love to do [which im sure everyone with a phone does] is take pictures with my phone.
Cut me some slack though, my phones camera sucks, but im going to give you an example
of the things I like to take pictures of.
ENJOY :)
For some reason I have a LOAD of pictures of food in my phone.
I always have random cravings for a mixture of very different flavors, [as you can obviously see]
so why not put them together? I'm not afraid of something different :)
Another thing I love to take pictures of are the CLOUDS
they are just really cool.
California's clouds are the best of course :)
(One of the coolest things to capture are definitely clouds in my opinion)
Here are some of the cool things I happen to come across!
[This was actually in an empty lot behind my grandparents house in New York]
[interesting..]
[I absolutely love finding some real graffiti art, I respect that haha]
[An old man handed this to me one day while walking home and told me to be careful..]
[They have sinks outside at the gas station. Stocktons steppin it up]
[Altoids are great, some have messages inside!!]
[chocolate milk, best I ever had]
[Some strange concoction, my cousin Anisa and I made, we actually took a teaspoon of
this, DISGUSTING I can assure you]
[I love whoever car this is, respect to you my friend :)]
[I guess mustaches are the new 'Thing']
[Left a surprise for my brother on his bedroom wall]
[My future car, if not, I'm investing in a motorcycle]

What's true beauty?
What's the first image that comes to mind when you hear the word beauty?
I want to know what is beautiful in your eyes.
The reality is that a lot of girls are having self esteem issues because of the way they are deceived by the media. The media portrays beauty as something it's not, and I believe this is a huge problem for young girls.
Not everyone knows this but, almost if not all photos in magazines and commercial ads are re-touched to make the image look completely different from the original. Over time re-touching of photos are not only expected but demanded from publicists.
This is crazy, I never knew it was this dramatic. Yet exactly what I'm talking about
For some reason it's no longer whats in the inside that counts, people pay to close attention to whats on the outside, when truthfully, it shouldn't really matter.
When you wake up in the morning and go to the bathroom and look in the mirror, what do you look at first?
Most would look to see their flaws, which is the wrong thing to do. Instead of veering your eyes to see whats wrong, why dont you look to see whats right?
Another great video that I want you to see, it shows whats happening to todays society. It shows how far a girl (or guy) would go to feel accepted.
Something to think about.
No matter what people say, God made you beautiful.

Oh how the time flies by..
Summer is almost over, school is starting soon and so are my allergies [yuck]. I have to say that I don't like the vacation ending so soon [I don't think anyone does for that matter], because the time just flew me by.
I flew to New York to stay with my grandparents
for two months, i'm not going to forget this trip.
Good times :)
New York is one of my favorite places to be, I love the atmosphere, and the people are great [and from what I've experienced] very friendly. I like that.
I'm already a senior in high school, it's crazy how fast we grow up. I'll be in college in one more year! Not sure how my parents are going to take that, seeing their only daughter go into college and eventually move out and find her place in the world. [It's lovely to think about]
Thinking about leaving all the amazing people in my family kind of hurts, but no doubt I will see them again very soon. I'm not sure how long I can stay away from these people I've come to love. Being in New York for two months was hard, but the reason why I stayed for so long was because I needed to really know what it would be like without my family in California. I've gotta grow up sometime.
Being away and doing things on my own are making me more of an independent person, I have to learn to take care of myself, or else I'll never get anywhere.
Parents need to let go, and let their children experience the world like they did. Although they must let them go the right way, and raise them the right way. Like the way my parents raised me.
This is my family
My Dad [Micheal or Mike] My Mother [Najla]
My two younger Brothers (the older one by my dad is Haffed)
(the youngest by my mom is Nasser)
A lovely family is it not?
Whats great is that they are supportive of everything I do every step of the way
They're special.
So then there is me
Im 5'2" and dying to be a cop. I may be little, but you should never judge a book by it's cover ;)
everyday I look back and see how things have changed over time. Then i say to myself,
Oh how the time flies by.
