I do yoga

No I’m not Hindu

I meditate

No im not Buddhist

I don’t fast

That doesn’t mean I’m not Muslim

I love nature

No im not a naturist

I love the moon

No im not Pagan

I am a human being

Born into a Muslim family

Practiced and studied Islam

Read about Astrology Palmistry Psychology as my first Urdu books at the age of 12

Read Spiritual books and gained knowledge on subjects such as Numerology and Crystals growing up

Believed in Soul Mates and remember grieving and crying for my soul mate, searching for that One

So today, at the age of 48, I don’t belong to anyone and I don’t fit in because I’ve tried and I’ve been accused of not being “Authentic” whilst also been criticised for not fitting in

As I’ve navigated through the terrain of light and dark within myself and others, I realise that there is no box and no label.

There is no “the one” and only one self

All else is a journey of becoming and unbecoming

Most of the time, I don’t know myself

All I know is what I am not

Which leave so much space

For myself to be revealed to me and to others

Out beyond the labels

As Rumi quoted
