The random musings of my wandering mind.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. Khalil Gibran

The morning commute is not the right time to read emotionally impactful books. Awkwardly pretending I didn't just almost tear up after reading a really beautiful/ heartfelt passage that makes me feel so grateful and appreciative of my loved ones.

Secretly really happy it's raining because my garden plants and trees are getting watered!

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

Not my partner scrunching his nose up at the music I listen to - only to be found listening to the same songs on his own accord a few weeks later.

I have dedicated time in my week to reconnect with my brother and catch up. He is my absolute rock.

My dad wore blue today and I realised he's literally a tall version of Papa Smurf

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

We had all 4 seasons in a day today in London.

My other half doesn't like hot drinks, and he doesn't read. What was i thinking! 🤣. (Joke!). He does make a good cup of tea when I'm poorly and turns a blind eye to my book buying habit (ahem. addiction), so I accept.

Sunshine on my face this morning. Blessings.

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

My day dreams are made of home and garden renovation ideas.

Family is blood yes, but that isn't the be all. Family are the people that show up in your happy times and when you need them.

People look at me funny when they ask what I'm reading & I list the 4 books I'm mid-way through. To non readers, it is perfectly normal for book worms to be reading multiple books in tandem, depending on mood/time of day. I have a commute book, a bedtime reading book, and so on.

A sibling is the keeper of your childhood & a piece of home you carry wherever you go. Though we follow different paths, our roots remain one. It's a bond that endures everything because they knew you before the world did. My sibling is my safe space & my calm.

Evening chores with a mellow playlist of bollywood / pakistani songs in the background 🤌🤌🤌🤌

Spent a peaceful hour outdoors today gardening - and I feel totally zen.

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

Haven't watered my plants /trees this week, and the anxiety is real. Plan for tomorrow morning: gardening.

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

Sometimes, the biggest rifts are caused by the subtle, negative seeds planted by those on the outside. Staying aware of who you let into your ear is everything. I never let others dictate my views and make my own judgements about who to trust.

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

I don't have a favourite place. I have favourite people. And wherever I am with my favourite people, that place becomes my favourite place.

Credit - unknown. But it resonated so much with me.

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

Focusing my energies into maintaining the non-toxic relationships in my life has been such a game changer. Protecting my peace.

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

I like vintage things. Things that have a story behind them.

[Saheri_ @Saheri_]

Read this somewhere, and now it's stuck in my head: The grass ain't green on the other side. It's green where you water it.
