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 ...

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 ...

Healing- By Bedor Alobaidi

#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 itsel...

Self-Reflection-By Bedor Alobaidi

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 ...

The Cherry Season

Yousif Omar, Iraqi Music, Commercials & Film Director  & actor  The Cherry Season    Everyone takes their breath in the last shot after a thousand and one shot, but I was asked to give what's beyond than that limit, Everyone was my friend, and I was everyone's friend also, and it is customary according to the common saying that everyone's friend is not a friend of anyone, but he is considered the best friend of himself ever in existence! And then I realized that I am a lot to everyone, I was always the one who gives all the time, I give the real, the original, and the rare things. Due to the fact that I am not a normal being; they just don’t know that I am the son of difference, steadfastness, isolation, and laughter in passing and forgotten times. I will give them an excuse because never made them feel not even close to wonder where I really came from! I am the son of the four seasons until they were shortened by only two seasons, winter-summer, summ...

Photographed by: Ahmed Rasull * In the Search of Locating The Lost Soul -   Try to find something that looks like you.  Try to juxtaposition those who want to have something and everything.  Try to find your self among the passers-by and arrivals at the travel stations, and every old train that has an impact on you finds someone who looks like you is still alive.  Look for the past with beautiful memories, and break away the dust of pain, pain, loss and homelessness.  Try to restore to your soul the vitality of searching for your identity in the face of anyone you have not yet encountered, even through dreams, dreams are the rest and everything else is nothing but an illusion and transitory, you will forget it at your full will or wil...

They will understand you tomorrow, when you will be already turning your back on them with no regression nor hard feelings, no- Nothing This is how life works and the best you could do is to turn whatever against you now with little patience to the ones who deserves it in the first place later on. And whether it’s going to take you days, months or years, there must be a day to come where you would be able to see a strong light crossing your way without worrying about those who are doing the impossible to underestimate you or stop you for whatever sick reasons they have in their minds. Overthinking about such people, will leave a negative impact on you, but ignoring them as they never exist is the key for not only gaining happiness...
