This is a collection of my english and social papers for school (in the condition I handed them in) starting at grade 9 so some are pretty bad but they get better. I promise. The reason I am including the bad ones is I think there are beginnings of good thought hidden in the terrible writing. That and it allows any of you curious folk to see how my writing has developed over time.
!!!!!DISCLAIMER!!!!!
I was taught in school that essays are "taking on a perspective" and that is how I treat my essays. I interpret that in a way that means I am free to "take on" a perspective that is not my own; in fact, I find that arguing for a perspective that is not my own is a great way of understanding that perspective. The essays presented here may or may not reflect my own views of the world.

FOUND
I didn't choose Islam. I inherited it. But one day, I started asking questions I wasn't supposed to ask - and found answers I never expected. FOUND is a spiritual case file. Compilation of short essays on the kind of truths you don't learn from textbooks - you find them through heartbreak, healing, and the questions no one answered when you were a kid. I'm not a teacher. I'm not a preacher. I'm just someone who got lost - and found something too beautiful not to share. These are the pieces of belief I picked up along the way. Table of Contents: Found #1 - The Faith I Didn't Choose He must be One - and only One. Found #2 - The Eyes of Ihsan The world is filtered, for a reason. Found #3 - Unseen Plotline You walk - He writes. Found #4 - Symmetric Love True love is a symmetric love triangle: equilateral, intentional, and facing the Divine. Found #5 - The Desire They Never Dared to Explain When we fail to speak, we give the world permission to lie. Found #6 - Clear the Throne Clear your heart - He won't share His throne. Found #7 - When the Whale Saved Me Mercy doesn't always look like light - sometimes it looks like being swallowed whole. Found #8 - I Miss Someone I've Never Met Every drop of his pain carried someone like me. Found #9 - What Prayer Was Meant to Be You don't pray because He needs you - you pray because you need Him. Found #10 - The Happiness Nothing Can Buy Real happiness is when you disappear - and someone else's smile takes your place.Complete
A Writer's Block
This is where I rant because I don't want to bother people. They'll just tell me things that will worsen my thoughts on myself. I'm tired of people offering comfort, only to shit on you when you ask for it, and that is what became of this book. Mf really be over sharing, I probably won't get any jobs if this is my digital footprint. This is just some random stuff for me, and myself alone. I will publish my haikus and poems in another book though. Most of these is very personal to me, and stuff here are me being very vulnerable.
words from a broken soul
I don't own the two songs I've posted on the two newest poems but give them a listen if you like. just a collection of free verse/rondel poems(short stories to lengthy ones I guess) I've written over the course of ten months so far some won't be uploaded as I know they would get flagged as to dark of topics so yeah enjoy or don't. Feed back is helpful I didn't really pay attention in my English class during poetry so I don't really know how to punctuate the poems. Also I know the first one is pretty bad but it was the first I've ever written the rest I think are okay but we're our worst critics after all. Also there are some with dark topics such a suicidal ideation, abuse of a child, sexual abuse, and not technically a dark topic but metaphorical suicide which talks about suicide so you have been warned for when I get around to uploading the darker poems.Complete
Spontaneous Writings
Uh, I just wanted a place to dump all my d̶u̶m̶b̶ random short stories I've written on a whim . . . Okay, so this is just where I'm gonna put all my miscellaneous stories I've written throughout my years. Some will be bad; some will be good. Either way, they're all just pieces I've worked on for fun at some point in the past.Complete
Essays
A collection of my boring essays I've written so far in college. A various group of essays, from History and English classes to Film classes. From topics of Mesopotamian society, feminism, zombies, and pyschopaths. (BEWARE: most of these will be horrible, because I hate writing academic papers and I suck at formal styles.)Complete
Short Stories
This will just be my crappy short stories I've wrote for my class before. Some will be better than others and some will probably just suck overall lol. Enjoy!
The Day My Life Started
PROLOGUE Over the years I've noticed how my life began. Sometimes I purposely try to forget how it all began. CHAPTER 1 My life began when I lost my virginity to a thug. At first I never thought my life would actually start like this but it did (unfortunately). My life plans as a kid was to be as good of a girl life can have. I never bothered anybody. I have always stayed to myself. My plans was to focus on only one thing, Me! Yeah it seems very harsh and selfish-like but Hey, that's how life really is. As a kid I wasn't thinking about boys or girls to be honest. Some kids thought I was this strange gay person who looks terrifying... but I'm really not. I mean who could be afraid of a tall, bright skinned, smart girl who never wanted anything from anybody. I'm really 5'10 and a half but who's counting. I met this guy named Jose. He was shorter than me but he was still handsome. He was an even 5' tall person with an edge. He was a Dominican boy, very strong personality and funnyComplete
