Expecting a flood of love letters as scribbling on a sheet of rosewater the fragrance crushed earthy scent a thornless moonlight rose an aesthetic storm is brewing beyond spiritual vitality flows. Breaking down obstacles It's because I don't fit into stereotypes I intend to be myself on this journey I'm not unique but I'm lacking wisdom, Yes, I am a free spirit and a bold mind. Indeed, I am eccentric and disorderly I'm just rusty and dusty I may fall, but I will always rise If you talk easily, I laugh bitterly I wish to be "me," despite my flaws. Written: January 29, 2023

We have our shortcomings and plus points. Accepting our follies is humility and the efforts to rectify them is divinity. However we have to accept our individuality and develop a self love by being ourselves! Sagacious thoughts, dear friend!

Knowing that one does not know is a sign of wisdom. The worst thing is one to think that he knows at the moment he does not. Yes, accepting oneself is the first step toward building a good character! Good work, my friend, Lasaad! Be blessed.

We all have something that is not right. Important to recognise one's faults and correct them.
