All About Me
I’m Faza, born in & raised in Pakistan. I’m in my 30’s and thanks to different life experiences, working hard in my life supporting myself and my family during challenging times, losing my mother, to start my own art business, ending toxic relationships, and defying societal norms despite societal pressure, I have come to appreciate the benefits of living consciously and the abundance it brings. Occasionally it functions flawlessly, other times you give it another go the following day. However, it’s what has led me to discover my true self, the person I aspire to become, and I’m excited to discuss it with you.
What this space is going to be like?
When I first thought about starting a blog, I was so confused what will it be? What will i talk about? What will I post? Relationships? Travel? Just books? I wanted my blog about real things. I was sure I didn’t want it to be a just books or travel blog. So here I am sharing my thoughts with you all. I must warn you your journey with me won’t always be beautiful. It will often be difficult and complicated to understand. Not every post will make you feel good but at the end of it you will always have me to travel the world with…To laugh with …And to grow with.
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us”
Everybody has interests and things they like to do when they have free time. Reading books, painting, and watching series all make life more vibrant and significant for me. These three activities are not only ways for me to kill time; they are integral to my identity. They help me relax, learn, and express myself.
My Love for Reading
So let me start with some stuff about my reading habit. One of the things I enjoy the most is reading books. I have never been a reader, but lately I’m doing a lot of it. When I was younger, I didn’t read books like novels and biographies I always associated reading with schoolbooks, and I avoided them. So basically, my reading journey started pretty late back when I was doing my bachelor. After that reading is nothing more like a comfort zone for me to distract my mind and to avoid overthinking. I mostly read Contemporary, Romance, Thriller, Mysteries and Biographies. The only genre’s I don’t really is Horror and Science Fiction.
Books take me to different places and times. They let me experience things I have never seen in real life. When I read, I feel like I am living another life for a little while. Books are my best friends. They are always there for me when I need them. Whether I am happy or sad, tired or excited, I can always turn to a book. One of the best things about reading is that it opens the mind. A book can change the way I think or feel about the world. It can give me a new point of view. It helps me become more thoughtful, curious, and creative. Some books make me laugh, while others make me cry. Some stay with me for days, even weeks, after I finish them.
I also enjoy visiting bookstores and libraries. The smell of books, the quiet corners, and the endless shelves all make me feel at home. I often find myself picking up more books than I can read, but that’s okay. Just being around books makes me happy.
I believe that life is too short. Do what you love. Make time for things that make you happy!
Painting and Art – My Way to Express Myself
Another passion of mine is painting. I find great joy in picking up a brush and creating something. Painting is my way of showing what I feel inside. Sometimes it’s hard to say how I feel in words, but with colors and shapes, I can express it clearly. When I paint, I feel calm and focused. All the stress and noise from the world fade away. I get lost in the moment, thinking only about my artwork. It always brings me peace and happiness.
I love trying out different styles and tools—watercolors, acrylics, pencils, and sometimes even digital painting. Each medium has its own charm and challenges. Sometimes I follow a theme or idea, and other times I just paint whatever comes to mind.
Painting helps me develop patience and attention to detail. It teaches me that making mistakes is okay, and that every piece of art has its own beauty, even if it’s not perfect. It’s not always about the final result; it’s about the process of creating something from nothing.
Art also connects me to others. I enjoy sharing my work with others and sometimes I get inspired by other artists online or in galleries. Seeing other people’s work helps me grow and try new ideas. Art brings people together, and that’s something I really love about it.
Also, I’m passionate about Organizing, Gardening and so much more. I will share my thoughts about Travelling, Social Issues, Relationships and Books. I want this blog to be the ultimate source of creativity and inspiration.
Watching Series – My Way to Unwind
In today’s fast-moving world, everyone needs some time to relax. For me, one of those pleasures is watching series. I love getting into a good story and following the lives of characters over time. Watching a series feels like going on a journey with those characters—laughing with them, crying with them, and growing with them.
There are so many types of series to enjoy—dramas, comedies, thrillers, fantasy, and more. Sometimes I like to watch light-hearted shows that make me laugh, and other times I prefer deep, emotional stories that make me think. Each type has something special to offer.
Series are more than just entertainment for me. They help me understand different people and cultures. They show me how others deal with life’s problems, and sometimes they give me ideas about how to deal with my own. A good series can stay in my heart for a long time. I often find myself thinking about the characters even after the show ends.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the articles on this blog.
