This caught me off-guard in the most amazing way possible.
Love is love.

A letter to the 15 years old me.

Dear Khaoula,

                  Hey there! It has been a while since we last talked. I just wanted to write this little letter to ask how are you doing, even though I know. I know you're feeling shitty , lost and confused. But believe me when I say that in a couple of years, most  of the things you're worrying about now will be of no importance. Obviously you will still be kind of confused, probably forever, but everything will be much more better. YOU will feel much more better.

I know that the last thing you want to hear is some wise pretentious person saying "it gets better". You are right but you are also wrong. It doesn't get better unless you work for it. It doesn't get better if you lay numb in bed and cry. It doesn't get better if you lock yourself in your room and hide your feelings from the rest of world. It doesn't get better if you don't do anything about it. You are allowed to grieve, you are allowed to be sad. Do that, but only for a while.

You need you alone time I get it. But please honey don't push people away. Every once in a while try and let them in, share you feelings and maybe just maybe they can take some of the pain away.

Don't worry about your future too much. Again I know your going through a rough patch, but you will do just fine, believe me. You'll discover a whole new world. A world you'll fall in love with. A world you always wanted to exist in. But no spoilers. I'll let you see for your self.

Now there are a few things I need you to always remember.

- LOVE YOURSELF, APPRECIATE YOURSELF AND GET TO KNOW YOURSELF.

- Friends come and go.

- If someone leaves your life, It's not because of you. Some people are just not meant to stay.

- It's good to have a comfort zone, but trying new things is even better. Try to do that every now and then.

- Yes you'll fall in love, yes you'll get your heart broken ,and yes you will grow out of it and go on with your life.

- Some people will hurt you, that's a given fact.I'm sorry but you have to get back up and move on.

- Love. Love wholeheartedly and with passion. Love your family, your friends, or your "significant other" it doesn't matter. Just give love to people who deserve it.

- Wear sunscreen, ALWAYS.

My darling life is beautiful, so live it to the fullest and go after what you want. Life might kick you, trick you and play you. But NEVER EVER give up.

I love you.

You, me, us.

Little update.

Hello blog,

I haven't posted in ages, I know and for that I apologize. I have been on a school break for the past two weeks, I visited relatives and got to have a lot of quality family time. Which was much needed, to be honest.

I have been at the movies twice to watch both "Taken 3" and "Night at the museum secret of the tomb" which I'm going to post  reviews of in the upcoming days. 

But  break is over and I'm going back to school next Monday (which only a day away  :') ). I'm very excited for this semester. And I'm ready to get back to study mode and kick some literature ass.

Concerning the blog ,I have a lot of articles lined up and can't wait to  get this year started for good. Even If it's a month late.

That's it for today's little update. As always, guys, remember to stay positive and do more of what makes you happy.

                     

 Lots of love

 Khaoula.

An award? Where? When? I accept !

Hello blog !

I have been away for the past 5 days and I came back to find a very pleasant surprise waiting for me .

As if having my little blog isn't already awesome, I have been nominated by a lovely fellow blogger to take part in the Liebster award.

I'd like to start off by thanking the amazing "This Freaks Thoughts"  who has deemed me worthy of the award, for that I am most grateful. I definetly think you guys should check the blog out.

For those of you who don't know what a Liebster Award is. It is a chain letter whose main purpose is to bring blogger together. It spreads your blof name around and hopfully gets your blog more traffic.

Below are the rules of the Liebster award :

-Thank the person who nominated you and link their blog.

-Answer the questions given by the nominator.

-Nominate 11 other bloggers who have less than 200 followers, and link them.

-Notify all the bloggers you nominate.

-Create 11 new questions for your nominees to answer.

 Here are "This Freaks Thoughts" 's questions and my answers :

1- Why did you pick your blog name ?

I first started this blog because I'm extremly introverted and highly sensitive, so sharing my thoughts with people in real life isn't exacly easy. That is why I chose to name it "shared thoughts". Because all the posts are me sharing my thoughts (kinda cheesy I know)

2- What is your favourite animal and why ?

Now that is a hard question. My favourite pet animals are cats because I simply just adore cats. But my favourite  wild animals are definitely Leopard or lion cubs. Why ?  just take a  look at these babies.

3- If you were allowed to go to one place in the world but not be able to visit it ever again, where would you go ?

Iceland , definitely Iceland. I'm in love with that place.

4- What is your favourite thing about yourself.

Everything, I think I'm pretty awesome. Just kidding, but not really.

5- Would you rather only ever eat junk food or only ever eat vegetables?

I think I'd rather only eat vegetables ,because being able to eat nothing but junk food is not a life I want to live.

6- If you were only allowed to wear one makeup product what would it be?

Sunscreen. Does sunscreen count as a makeup product ? I'm not sure. But I don't really use makeup that much so that wouldn't a problem.

7-  Who is your idol / role model ? and why ?

I have a large number of idols. My parents of course are my first role models and then there is Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, J.K Rowling , Paolo Coelho,  Stephen Hawking, Elizabeth Gilbert and a lot more.

8- You are only allowed to use household appliances in a zombie apocalypse, what would you pick as your wepon ?

Probably a knife.

9- What is your favourite smell/scent.

The smell of a forest in the rain. It's like heaven to my nose.

10-What is your best advice on worrying?

I ,myself, am a person who worries so much about basically everything. I think that the best thing to do when you worry too much is to try and distract your brain from thinking about the specific thing you're worrying about. Try to do something you love or something that makes you happy, and hopefully everything will turn up exactly the way you wanted. I wish I could  say just stop worrying but I know that it's not that easy.

11- What do you like to do on your spare time ? 

Sleep, listen to music , have solo dance parties in my bedroom, obsess over Tv shows, scrool down my tumblr dashboard and run ,not from my problem, even though that is something I use to do a lot, but the actual physical activity. Improvement I know.

Here are the lovelies I nominate :

• Grace Olivia Susan
• Style Steer
• Clothes Minded
• Two a Beautiful Life
• The Awkward Brunette
• Faithful Words
• Life as Izzie
• The Life of Little Me
• Salha Abuhayar
• Le cinéma en Rose 
• Elettravelle

 

Here are my questions :

1.        What is the number one reason you started your blog?

2.        When not blogging, what do you do for fun?

3.        Who or what inspires?

4.        What are you most passionate about?

5.        What is your favourite movie ?

6.        If you could change one thing about this world, what would it be?

7.        What's your greates fear?

Again , many thanks to "This Freaks Thoughts" for nominating me.
