Currently... [4]

Hello Poetteers,


{Fun fact: What's Up Wednesday was based at least in part off of the Currently... post that had been circulating at the time. Thanks goes to Katy Upperman and Jamie Morrow for starting this up again so we all have a way to touch base now that WUW is no longer.}

Loving

Cool breezes on a hot day. Being with friends. Flowers around the house, inside and outside.

Reading

Awhile ago I finished THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET by Sandy Cisneros. I love the different style it was written in. I gave it five stars. A few days ago I finished EXTRAORDINARY MEANS by Robyn Schneider. It is beautifully written and would give it more than five stars if I could. I'm currently reading LET'S GET LOST by Adi Alsaid.


Watching

Booktube. Family vlogs. Girl Meets World. Videos of Dabke.

Listening to

Rixton. There is a song in my head from Bee Movie that I can't put my finger on.

Thinking about

Changes a year make. Late summer nights, with friends and in prayer.

Anticipating

The ice cream and cake I'll have tomorrow! Ramadan!

Wishing

For happiness and contentment. For peace. Trust. Love. Everything good. To start now instead of waiting.

Making me happy

Friends. Bookstore dates, coffee dates, tea time. Journals.

Love, Fida

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
