If We Were Having Tea #6

Posted on January 30, 2021February 14, 2021 by Mariamshittu

If we were having tea, I’d choose a seat in the private part of the café and stare into your eyes for about ten minutes before placing my order.

I Can’t Believe It’s Been Three Years

Posted on November 18, 2020February 3, 2021 by Mariamshittu

I don’t care what anyone says because I know no amount of preparation, planning or time can make grief and losing a loved one easy. There are a whole lot of easy tasks but grieving isn’t one of them.

Life Update| July 2020

Posted on June 16, 2020 by Mariamshittu

If we were having tea, I'd be so happy to see you. I'd give you a big hug and linger for about a minute or two. I'd finally take a seat and ask you what it's like up there with a big smile on my face.

Life Update| May 2020

You Will Not Get Everything You Want & That’s Okay

Posted on May 12, 2020May 12, 2020 by Mariamshittu

We want so many things.
Every day we wake up, there's an addition to the list of the things we want and desire. Our wants always surpass our needs and we can't help it because that's just the way we are wired.

I don’t even know where to begin!!! I started the new year on a high. I had my whole family with me and though I had lost my voice, I was happy.

Is There More To Life?

Posted on December 11, 2019December 11, 2019 by Mariamshittu
