Zenobi Confesses

In a morning haze, my mind wandered   As a friend spoke of potassium,   Soft metal, easily cut,   Quick to react when exposed.   But my thoughts drifted elsewhere,   To someone close,   Soft inside, calm on the surface,   Unmoved by others' words.   Yet when I speak, he stirs,   My words like a knife,   Sometimes making him upset,   Or setting him off in defense.   And sometimes I add to his tension,   Without meaning to.   I wonder now,   Am I the knife, or am I the oxygen?   Our bond is deep,   But I fear his nature might wear down,   Still, I hope to keep him whole,   Away from breaking apart.  

People say, “Love yourself” or “Self-love is more important,” but what does that even mean? Where do you even begin? One of my friends  (my closest friend and my most favourite one actually) once gave me some advice: when people comment on you, just ignore it. Yeah, that’s what most people say, right? But here’s a twist. If you're the kind of person who takes everything to heart, don’t just brush it off. Instead, listen. Give it a little thought. If your gut tells you there’s truth in it, make small changes, adjust for the better. But if you know deep down it’s not true, then prove them wrong.

Welcome to Zenobi Confess,  why that name, you ask?  Well, let me tell you a little story. Zenobia, the Rebel Queen of Palmyra, took on the Roman Empire, conquered Egypt, and almost built an empire to rival Rome itself. Her strength and fearlessness inspired me, though I’m not here to conquer nations. Instead, I’d love to conquer hearts. This blog is where I confess whatever comes to my mind, raw and real. Sometimes I feel like no one around me truly understands me, am I wrong? Nah, baby, it’s just the world that gets it twisted sometimes. I can be a dramatic queen, and I own it. I live for drama, but this space is where I spill my truths, share my emotions, and tell my story, unfiltered. There’s a lot more I want to write, but let's pause here for now. Stick around, because I'm not just here to be an emotional whirlwind, but to drop some knowledge, too!
