Guess who's back..again? Well you've guessed it, it's me.

If you are one of my readers then you may have (or may not) noticed that I removed my blog and stopped writing. And if you're asking why then all I have to say to you is that it's complicated. In fact, I was trying to find myself but I give up, it's hopeless.. I just need to go with the flow and let things happen their way, that's what I learned during these months of absence.

Life is a bitch, people are cruel as fuck and each one of us is basically on their own, so why stress over things? why even care? Just go with the flow my friends, that's the key. But you know what? it's hard, I won't lie to you and say how easy it is, I am still struggling here trying to chill but when you are holding to some things you simply can't.

Well, this is all I have for now. I am still out of ideas but it feels good writing to you again my friends, take good care of yourselves.

Dear readers,

I hope you missed me and as usual I am apologizing for not being fully committed to this

blog or anything else in my life.

Today, I am writing about my mistakes, the ones that I acknowledged of course and I hope that this well help you to avoid doing the same thing. So this is how it starts, any person can meet all kinds of people through their life and they sometimes let some of them affect their life, or even worse they give the others the right to take charge of their lives, until they end up broken and lonely, they realize that they lost their dignity and themselves completely. All they have left, is depression and anxiety.

But the good thing, is that after losing everything, you have nothing to lose anymore so that's when you rise, that's the moment when you realize you are getting strong again and you are ready to love yourself again. The people we meet during our journey are just a lesson, something that will make us learn things but they will never be there for us for real, they give and they take back. No one is really going to put themselves in your shoes and understand you, or really help you and stand by your side. Or at least, they will do it once and twice but never always. You only, can help yourself, love yourself truly and care about you.

Someone will surely promise you to be there for you no matter what, through good and bad. But no one likes a sad face or a dependent person. That's why you should be, independent and strong, even when everyone is ready to do everything for you and to be everything for you. You should always remember that they are just a part of a phase and that nothing lasts forever. We live alone. We die alone. Everything else is just an illusion.

Dear readers,

Today I promised my friend Fati (click here to visit her blog) that I will be active on the blog and start posting at least twice a week and this is how I will start and I will be talking about goals, we have all liked or seen pictures on social networks that says "relationship goals" or simply "goals" and the majority of those pictures have a cute couple in them playing video games or holding hands, sometimes they're pictures of an attractive guy or girl and of course pictures of big houses and expensive cars and money... We get it everyone wants to be rich and famous and attractive but what about original ideas and good goals because if these people are there it means they've done something to reach those things, and after all they're just pictures on social media and no one knows what is happening behind closed doors.

I personally tried to imitate the things I've seen on these pictures thinking that one day I will have the same things as them, but then I realized I don't want those goals, I want to set my own goals and work hard to get them, I want something real and not something fake to post online and get a thousand likes for it. And I am not saying my goals or ideas are unique or original because people all over the world have a lot of things in common but I am not willing to follow a passing wave that leads to nothing probably, I will follow my own lead and set my own goals as I already did and I think you should do the same.

To wrap this issue, I want to make myself clear and say that I am not saying these pictures are bad news, they are motivational and they will serve you well if you know how to chose the right goals and do them your way and not try and mimic someone else's life. I, myself still going to have goals such as having a healthy lifestyle, a muscular and healthy body and a beautiful skin and hair but just not as the same way as I see them.

Hello my dear readers,

I have some big news for you but first let's talk about where I've been. It was a really long and stressful month, but hey! shit happens, right?

I have to admit that this wasn't my favorite month. I got really sick but this gave me time to think and discover myself a little more after I took a break from studying hard and everything. I finally knew what to do even if my thoughts are still not clear enough. This is something I learned, and I think you should do it too, sometimes just take a break and think about the things in your life, maybe you'll realize that you were going on the wrong direction. It's acceptable to stop sometimes and start all over again, in my opinion time doesn't matter. It's always better to know what you're doing wrong and change it, rather than just keep moving forward towards something that feels totally wrong.

If you're interested in knowing what I discovered that I really like? It's fashion of course. Something that I always underestimated but that I was really into since I was very little. Which brings us to the good news, I am creating my first collection!

I don't know a lot about designing clothes, because I didn't study it but I guess it's in me and I am persuaded to do it. And I am ready to learn all I can about fashion things and designing clothes.

The collection, I am intending to make is related to a school project and it is a really small one but it's my first and I am hoping it will not be a fail. If you want to know more about it, follow all the details in my other blog here.

Aside this, I am here to encourage you to do the same. This is a very common mistake people are making. But I am here to say NO. Do not let other people control your life and your choices. You should be free to do what ever you want because it is your life but it doesn't mean that you should reject help and guidance from other people, just know how the spot the difference.

I hope this article was helpful.

Thanks for reading, I will make sure to post more often.

Xoxo.

Dear readers,

Today I will be talking to you about something that everyone should be aware of nowadays. I would like to start by stating that life is not a movie.

Movies has given us all kind of wrong images about everything starting with the attractive rich and extremely nice guy that will run to you, and catch you at the train station or at the airport and about happy endings. Which can be a bit different in real life, the things that causes a lot of disappointment and regrets to most of us.

Television has given us the illusion of the perfect girl who is so beautiful, so feminine, so thin, so shy and also kind of bitchy. The list of the offensive stereotypes that movies and TV affect us with is so long but I would like to clear one thing.

First of all, NO girl wakes up with a perfect hair, mascara and lipgloss on. And if she does she must not be a human. No girl is flawless ( sorry beyonce ) the things we see in movies and also magazines affected us and made everyone trying to look as perfect as these people. And if perfect is fake then it doesn't exist and I have to say that boys are more affected by this than girls which is really sad and pathetic. Everyday, I can hear them critic how a girl's waist is not well defined, or how her boobs are not big enough, or how she is so short or so tall, or that she is so fat or so skinny, how her hair is so short or that isn't soft. I even read the other day an article where a man is complaining about the fact that his wife is not so pretty and that she has hair on her body. So moronic I would say.

And to end this I want to say that we are not the problem gentlemen, you are. And don't consider this as an attack, I have to admit that some guys are completely aware of this and I would like to applaud them.

Second of all, some movies can be a bad influence on people especially the young ones. They make everything seem good, no matter if you stop going to school or you get pregnant at a young age, or you run away from home or even if you go to prison. No, not everything is approved and tolerable. You should learn to make a difference between the good and the bad, because unlike the movies, they're will be consequences.

And lastly, from my own experience you should be independent, because if you depend on someone they will see it as a weakness and take you for granted. Wear make up because you like it not because you want to please someone, dress well because you want to not because you want to please others or get attention, do something for someone because you want to not because you feel like you have to. And if you feel rejected because you're doing things this way, don't feel bitter. It's not you, it's them.

I hope this article helped a little,

Xoxo.

Dear readers,

I cannot express how much I missed writing to you and being on the blog. It's been a really long time since I haven't posted anything again because of school of course but now that I'm on a vacation I have a lot of things to share with you.

Well last time I posted, I showed you some events and I was also making a challenge to eat healthy and lose weight which didn't really work and I even gained more kilos but I finally decided to hit the gym and this time I'm determined to do it ( enough is enough ) and I guess the main reason, was that I was lazy especially because of cold weather, which brings us to the next subject. Spring is coming soon and I am so happy spring and summer are my favorite seasons so I will be doing a giant spring cleaning this year, I have a lot of things to throw that I haven't been using for years because I liked to collect things since everything I have has a story behind and sometimes not, I just get attached to things a little bit too mych and people too, sometimes... Anyway, I am so excited to start my spring cleaning next month, how about you?

If you've been wondering what I've been doing these last months, then here you go:

Rita Saaidi, Symbolic identity, 2014.

So I created a self-portrait based on some researches about expressionism, it was not the first time that I tried to draw myself but this time I knew exactly what I wanted to express and which was not the appearance or my best features.

For this illustration workshop, we made animals from letters. It was a fun week we also created small stories for each one:

This is something that I would like to do more often.

Later, in photography class I created what I called the different states of souls of a woman which is a series of portraits done in black and white describing women fighting their emotions and trying to cope with some of them.

Sorry for the bad quality this is the only picture of the work once it was done.

Then we started doing some sketching inside and outside the school and it was so fun, we got to visit (or in my case revisit) some amazing places like Saadian tombs and Ben Youssef Medersa, too bad I didn't have the time to take a lot of pictures.

Well this is almost everything, I tried to show you as many things as possible and talk to you about what I've been doing. I'll try to show you more things next time.

Let me know what you think. Xoxo

Dear readers,
