A peaceful day at the park

Hey friends! I missed you so much ❤️

I know it’s been ages since I posted anything in English. My apologies, but I will do my best to write more in English. Anyway, today I’m back with some exciting ideas.

So, last month I took a break from blogging, and then I decided to do some activities while I was away. For that, I wrote a list of some new activities for me to do, one activity per day. I wrote them for you in the picture, and if you want to read about my experiences with them and my thoughts, you can click here.

However, today I want to share with you one of the activities that I did last month, which is going on a picnic.

If you know me, you know that I love to spend some time with myself, and I prefer to spend it outside. So today, come spend a peaceful day at the park with me.

Ice cream first 🍦

You may think, “Why did you go at night? Isn’t a picnic during the daytime? 🤔”

Yes, it is, but here the weather at noon or in the afternoon is so hot that you can’t even breathe. So I don’t want to sacrifice my life for a picnic 😅. I usually come at night because the weather is a little cooler, but even though I came prepared, and I brought my little fan with me 😮‍💨

Anyway, a picnic in the summer means an ice cream. I have to get one first thing. Even though I prefer mango ice cream, unfortunately, it’s rare to find it in any ice cream car. But it’s okay, I can have any ice cream flavor in this weather.

Reading in the park 📖

Today I brought some cookies and nuts with me. Actually, I wanted to make a sandwich and a cake, but I couldn’t. I wanted to make it more nostalgic, but it’s okay.

I bought an iced coffee from here. It was delicious.

So, this is my current read of this month. I’m enjoying this novel series. This is my second collection. What I love about it is the simplicity of it and the adventures.

It really reminds me of the cartoons or anime that I used to watch when I was little. My generation’s cartoons or anime were totally spies,fifi and the flowertots, Robin Hood, Martin mystery, Doraemon, Slam Dunk, Yu- gi oh,Princess Sara, Detective Conan,Digimon adventure and more.

So, what was your favorite cartoon or anime show when you were young?

Radio break 📻

When I was young, I had a radio that I used to listen to every day, especially before going to sleep.

I remember imagining myself lying on the grass in the garden, looking at the sky and the clouds while listening to it, and forgetting what my life was about back then.

So, I decided to make my dream come true. I downloaded a radio app. It contains many channels in different languages, but I wanted to listen to an English one only because that’s what I used to listen to back then, even though I didn’t understand the language.

I put my earphones on and listened while watching the sky. It was not that dark because it was a full moon night. I was lucky today with that.

The trees around me were moving, and the air was breezy. I was so relaxed and breathed so much. I feel calm now.

A letter for me 💌

While I was feeling happy and relaxed, I thought I would write a message to myself, like an encouragement message, to recharge me with more positivity.

I will share a little bit of what I wrote in my letter:

My dear, beloved Samia,

I know what you have been through in your entire life, and I know what you have struggled with throughout your whole life. Words can’t heal the past or make you forget.

I know you are feeling lost, and living with anxiety and fear is unfortunately part of your life.

I know you are alone and lonely, but you don’t know how far you have come. How strong and brave you are to be this version of yourself.

I remember you used to escape into your imagination to achieve all of these things because of fear. You thought it would always be a dream.

I’m proud of you for sticking to yourself and starting to heal, and for fighting to be healed, even though you are living in a toxic environment.

I’m proud of you for still believing in yourself. And one day, with Allah’s will, your life will change into the life you never imagined, in a good way.

The end of my lovely day at the park 🌙
