a place for my thoughts

i think too much and i’ve finally reached my mental capacity, my words need a new home.

hi! name is zainab, and i’ve always called myself a sort of writer, but the truth is my work never really leaves the notes app on my phone.

maybe that’s because i don’t have a real concrete idea of what sort of writing i like to do; am i writing a book? do i write half hearted poetry? or am i just journaling, emptying my heart into a diary that lives somewhere buried in between recipes my mother makes me write down for the future and watch lists that never get shorter? where does one even publish writing that doesn’t fall into any category?

i never really thought about finding a platform that i could ramble on, but i’m here now, because the things i want to share with the world threaten to claw their way out of my head and i’d very much like to keep my head in one piece.

so here we go! welcome to my page, where i’ll slowly begin to find some sort of linear progression to share my writing, stories of my past, ramblings of my present, things that don’t wholly relate to me and yet i seem to have all the words to describe. i hope that some of the things i talk about will resonate with you, or that you’ll find interest in the unbalanced topics that occupy so much of my mind. if it does, please subscribe and continue to follow along on this little journey!

note: finding a set format will most likely take me some time to figure out because i’m indecisive and an over-thinker, truly not a great combo, but we persist!
