Natalie Handal is so intelligent. I’ve never met a poet and professor who is a woman who I admired more other than Edi Giunta.
I love being me. I love being known. I am a good writer.
Ayesha Karim will be on my death certificate and yes it is also on my birth certificate. I love my name and other people that like me like my name too.
I never understood ageism in the job market.
I’m 36 years old. I’ll be 37 years old on January 28, 2018. I love my Mentor job at Mercer. I never thought I’d have difficulty finding jobs in college working on my second Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. When life throws you lemons I say make lemonade.
Sometimes people treat other people better than they treat themsleves and forget to give themselves me time and self-care.
I will be getting a manicure and pedicure with my mom. I love taking hot showers. I need to get something to put on my extra dry skin to make it softer. I have hand creams I will put in my bag for my lovely hands. I could have been a hand model.
This is my brain on sleep.
I get to sleep at night in my 30s. This is my best decade of sleep. I woke up at 7 am this morning. I slept from like 11 pm last night until 7 am this morning and I feel rested. I have a paper to start writing and six scholarly articles to read and reread.
I feel so comfortable being who I am.
There is no person I want to be or would rather be than myself. I think about my job I’ve been at for almost 2 years and building work experience. I think about the volunteer work I do at NAMI Mercer NJ. I know God is for Ayesha! I rest in that and I just keep living and doing what I have to do.
AYESHA’S STORY
A Memoir by AYESHA
There is power in writing your thoughts and feelings down on paper.
I believe that writing is a way of healing. I wrote a memoir. I’m a poet. I’m a blogger.
It is God’s will for every person to come into his or her own.
I believe this is true. I would not lie. I never saw a day coming where I could be living my dream. My blog TheAyeshaSite.com was nominated for an award and I could not be happier. Thank you, friends, for likes and follows on http://www.wordpress.com. We did it!
When you’re responsible for your own happiness you make time for yourself.
To-do list manicure and pedicure with my mom.
