Harnessing the Power of the Past for a Meaningful Tomorrow  By: Bedor Alobaidi   Photographed by: Joelle Blanchard, 2023         As we approach the new year, with less than 2 hours  remaining until 2024, I want to remind myself to let go of longing for the past. The past, with its lingering energy, often visits me not just at the end of the year, but on a daily basis. It has become an addictive habit, and I find myself wondering why it keeps coming back and what significance it holds in my thoughts and senses. Even memories that were worth remembering can trap me, making it difficult to move forward. But what if I focused on photos of myself looking good and the feelings I had during each captured moment? Whether it's a selfie, a professional photo session with a talented photographer friend, or a collaboration with a professional photographer, there is something special about those moments. They capture hidden smiles and the language behind my eyes and soul. I don't mean to ov

It is about delving deep into the core of our being and uncovering the truths that lie within. It requires us to be honest with ourselves, to confront our fears and insecurities, and to embrace our strengths and weaknesses. Through self-realization, we gain a clearer sense of our purpose and potential in life. One aspect of self-realization is the recognition of our own values and beliefs. As we become more aware of what truly matters to us, we can align our actions and decisions with our authentic selves. This alignment brings a sense of peace and fulfillment, as we no longer feel the need to conform to societal expectations or seek validation from others. Self-realization also involves understanding our emotions and how they influence our thoughts and actions. By developing emotional intelligence, we become better equipped to navigate through lif

Life Is Momentum- The Life & Death Theory  By Bedor Alobaidi   Original  Photo Courtesy: Blanchard  Figment Art Photography  Edited-  by: Bedor Alobaidi  This piece and poem was written under the influence of El Waili  From moment to moment There's an idea that keeps rising in my head. To love you once and hate you a thousand times To leave you for a lifetime and to colonize inside your heart and settle in there forever. From moment to moment, I see the same conflict repeating itself repeatedly And no one have done that to me like you did! Your love is like death and childbirth. And vice versa. This is how I see you, capable of breaking all the rules of boredom and monotony. You allow me to drift from my sorrows and run away looking for your arms where I could rest my heart And where safety and comfort all belong! How could it be possible to see myself switched from hell to heaven within less than  24 hours? How could it be possible to rain in the morning but the sunshine comes

What Does Self Awareness and Growth mean? And how can we maintain that? By Bedor Alobaidi  Photo credit by: Joelle Blanchard  Figment Art Photography Be aware of who you give your time to. Not everyone is a friend and not everyone is worth your time or effort. And always be selective when it comes to your own comfort and who you want to have in your life and give them the privilege to be around you and be part of your life. I’ve learned this the long and the very hardest way, after several let downs and certain outcomes that pushed me to pause for a little bit and see how far I have reached in terms of gaining truthful people and whether or not they were understanding to the concept of boundaries or not even knowing what’s that really stands for. Because, I am one of those people who almost never and cannot say n

#Healing  One of the best moments that it’ll come to your life unexpectedly is, when you are all living with your moments and enjoy doing so without putting a plan ahead for that. Remember how many times you’ve planed for something and it didn’t go out the way you wished it did for the sake of the effort spent towards whatever thing you had to work on the past? This is literally another way to start thinking about how to change the way you used to approach anything in your life. The idea is simple, do not convert to something you aren’t comfortable or too sure about unless yourself is quite an adventurous spirit that asks you to try things in new mindset and different type of thinking. But, make sure you are doing whatever you want under pleasure not pressure then you will start sensing to notice the difference between the enjoyment of the moment and the “requirement to do it” if it’s something that you can’t feel. Please don’t force it then. Don’t force anything because that itself wi

Lots of ups and downs this life has been thrown at me and I’m using this space as a way of self expression and another way for outsiders to gain access to what could possibly strength might all mean to them? I will tell you what does it mean, it’s definitely one of these forms whenever you happened to see yourself excited if not way too excited about something and you thought whatever that thing you shared with someone, group of people might be all happy with you and be appreciative to the fact you shared with them perhaps some good news or something means a lot to you deeply.  The moment they seem careless or might not get the best attention “appropriate appreciation” that you did give them the opportunity and the privilege to be part of something meaningful to you and didn’t give you any sort of good or positive reactions towards what you said or put out in display for them.  Back off immediately. Share it elsewhere, and talk about it else where because there will be always others an
