Sins & Flowers

our bodies are still in solitude; flowering we were once each other - confused red, purple, blue

           smoldering ourselves in the horizon laying weak, breathing - fearsome my freedom smokes the sky a parade of fire; thundering trumpets clamorous sounds beating through my roots with love sick breathing red rose skies engulfed in our bodies made of toxins; make me love sick for peace; between us two worlds burning - we love in visceral gratitude - like a menace; with roses at out feet - voices in tulips

As a school project for my womens lit class, we’ve been asked to start blogs on various websites and to make at least a post a day.

Hash tagged accordingly, speaking about our lives and what not.

I don’t expect this to find many people, and I really don’t know how to use Tumblr, but this felt the easiest.

Please understand that none of these posts are in correct grammar, and never will be. I also cant be bothered with misspelling.

The first post assigned to us was an introduction post, so here I am. Introducing.

My nicknames are simsim and samoona, thats probably what i’ll continue to call myself by.

In arabic, simsim means sesame seed. And samoona is a type of bread. I will put a photo for reference

Similar to any sort of flat bread from the middle east, this one is specifically from Iraq (as am I haha), it’s filled with steam right out of the oven. I recommend with jam and butter while it’s still hot. Or, if you’re really going for authenticity, “Puck cheese”.

I am a freshman in college, freshly 18. I’m studying to be a lawyer, my dream would be to do linguistics but i am unfortunately not rich and need ro do something I know will make money.

Law seems good enough.

Plus, I like the idea of doing human rights or immigration law.

For now, i’m a polisci major and unfortunately only have one class that has anything to do with law.

I love clothes, though I don’t usually dress how I like because I am a broke.

I like Matcha and growing my hair long, makeup, my cat, reading and writing.

I draw almost every day, and I’m currently writing a childrens book that I will most likely post about here.

“think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.”

Nina Stibbe Examines The True Meaning of Friendship

When I read three books in a row by the same author, then you can be assured I love her writing. After reading and reviewing her two diary-styled non-fiction books a couple of weeks ago (Went to London, Took The Dog and Love, Nina) I went looking for other books by Nina Stibbe and came upon the fictional One Day I Shall Astonish The World. The title is the motto for the British university where…

I wear Grey on my face like a morning.

He left me standing on the corner

Waiting on a moment for myself; To find myself out of the lost streets

The lost feet I stand still in; I still even further in the moment

For a harmony in the violence; For the harm in his voice

Guides me down these streets; Holds me to my feet

- Freya Rose

There was a massive book sale at our town hall. After the crazy day I had yesterday, I decided to stop by and browse, maybe pick up a few romances.* * * * I might have gone a little overboard.* * * * #bookhaul #books #bookstagram #booksales #romance #literaryfiction #womenslit https://www.instagram.com/p/BuO_rBJgRhn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y3wl5jgxzgdy

a plantation of butterflies left my stomach I was half livid; baring blue flesh my carcass warm as hell lived from the inside out you've burned in the core of my stomach then bred a raging monarch of puzzled patterns & colours flying from my mind - voices in tulips

Whoa what is this - a book related post? I confess, this was for a class but hey, at least I read a book. 🙉 °°° Trying to set up a schedule of some sort for all the bookish platforms so I'm not so MIA all the time. If only we could have a couple more hours in the day...then maybe I'll have enough time to do everything and get enough sleep. °°° #bookstagram #herland #charlotteperkinsgilman #3stars #books #womenslit #college #reading https://www.instagram.com/p/BuG-gxlHM3J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=venx6stfade3

💬 "... what is true and what is thought to be true can run side by side, not meeting, staying just ahead of the creeping shadow... But sometimes the silence can be pitiless..." 📚 The Book Stack - September BOM 📘 The Proxy Bride ✒️ Zoe Boccabella 🌶 D.N.F 🌶 Disclaimer: due completely to personal preference I'm keen to find out more about proxy brides back in the days so I thought this will be an interesting read. I was actually enjoying it quite a lot until [around p130] where it transpires that... ****SPOILER**** ****SPOILER**** ****SPOILER**** ****SPOILER**** the characters who fell in [insta] love with each other are married to others... 😒 I'm on holidays and am not keen to explore this one any further so gave it to my friend to read. I believe it's in good hands 🤗 Thank you The Book Stack (bookclub on Facebook) for gifting me a copy of this book. Sorry I just couldn't love it 😔 #theproxybride #zoeboccabella #historicalfiction #aussiereads #aussieauthors #australianwomenwriters #womenslit #dualtime #intergenerational #booksandflowers #booksandteacups #booksofinstagram #TheBookStack #bookstagram #ausbookstagramer #ausbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CjHjfoYLROT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve always said that poetry and visual art go hand in hand in delivering the feels and this book nailed it on the head for me. ⠀ ⠀ Given that it’s a short piece, I didn’t expect it to make me feel this lovely. The simplicity of it - the subtle observation of nature - interlaced with the equally simple but profound illustrations made me feel wonderful inside. ❤️⠀ ⠀ I won’t saturate you my own experience with this book because you need to experience it on your own. 💜⠀ ⠀ 4.5 🌟. Well-written and the illustrations complements the words smoothly. ⠀ • ➡️➡️➡️Swipe left to see a sample of the words and art. ��💜 •⠀ Priya is hosting a giveaway on her blog that runs until the end of the month!
