I'm supposed to be studying.
which is basically why this place hasn't been updated in at least forever.
how are you all? a lot's been new with me.
1. I am now officially a second year medical student which means I am still at the bottom of the medical food chain but I have a bunch of maggots looking up to me for advice and all I can manage to say is, stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I don't really know why.
2. it's been a very eventful year for my writing, thank everything holy. I got my first print publication at Slim Volume: This Body I Live In and I had the honor of opening the book with my poem that also won the first Islamabad Poetry Slam. you can watch it here!
3. I am still horrible at friends but that means I'm still figuring myself out.
4. I am a lot less angry and take things personally. while it is an infj thing I don't think it's good for me as a physician. I care too much and I don't know what to do with all my feelings a lot of the time.
5. writing a bunch of poems a day is either hard work or heartbreak and thankfully, over the years they have become one and the same.
6. come March, my teen years will come to an end. I am both terrified and excited and I feel like I've waited my whole life for these years to be over. It's been a wonderful, horrifying run and I can't wait for the next.
7. I think about this place a lot.
8. tell me about how you are. I'd love to write you a poem.
kindest,
Orooj.

it's been a while x 12
hey you. it's been a long time. come sit. rest your feet.
I've missed this place. its comfort. how many stretch marks these poems have symbolized. growing too much too fast with all y'all.
the world outside isn't pretty. dA has probably changed so much it doesn't look anything similar to what it used to be when I was fourteen. but then again, that was eight years ago. eight. I'm 22 now, genderqueer, almost-author of three poetry books (you can buy my first book here: bit.ly/2J436Sm ), in my second last year of medical school and a comedian.
yeah that happened. I'm touring with all-femme comedy troupe in my country and it's kinda wicked coo
thank @successwithhonor for me saying hi
just dropping in to say hello/I'm alive/I don't particularly want to be/but shit needs to be done/I hope you're well, in no particular order.
it's been a while since I've updated this space so enjoy my little hopeful poem here:

a lot has happened since the last time we spoke, friends.
1. I removed myself from a press that was outright robbing me and started my own press here in Pakistan, after my own name, which I'm only using to release a second edition of my first book, Home and Other Debris.
2. I won the 2018 National Poetry Slam and became the only woman to earn the title in the competition's three year running! tha
when i cry wolf, they howl back
I can't remember why I update this, but lately I've been learning to take things at face value. I've been trying to identify what parts of me stay behind when my previous anchors lift their own weight. I've been trying to pinpoint what makes me so heavy. I miss Chester the same way I miss myself.
When I've tried to explain to anyone else how my fears have come out of my mouth so many times I may as well have a rosary in my hands, I am always told that I am above them and their power. And I am. I made peace with my demons a long time ago; they just haven't made their peace with me.
So this lingering dread can live out its time but there are
two guitars on my bed
i keep opening and shutting this tab and have been for weeks but finally, hey, hi, how are you, is anyone there?
it's been an obscene amount of time since i last checked this place and read things. i miss it of course, but in the way we miss things that we know have lived their course all the way through. seeing how horrendous my devwatch looks today, i'll be going through all the visual pieces but please leave a comment with written pieces you are most proud of :heart:
in return, let's get the boring stuff out of the way. did you know i have an instagram account specifically for my writing? no? follow me there! if you don't do ig, i have a
