EY YO I TURN 25 IN LIKE 2 MINUTES.

i’ve gotten a bunch of new followers recently & was inspired by guerrillamamamedicine’s post, so… 

aden (عد ن). i get called everything from moonstar - a play on my last name - to 3doon.

24 years old. i feel like my late-teens/early 20’s thus far were wild, unpredictable and exhausting- and I’m just starting to settle now. this excites me b/c its not my nature to be those things - but I was attached to someone who is that way. i’m comfortable with chaos. but i am not chaotic. 

yemeniah/muslim (im working on breaking this all apart).

mama to ibrahim  (for a time, I was in total denial about being a mother - I relied on my own ma to take care of my son and I was angry & jealous at his absent father. somedays, I wish I could erase that time/those thoughts. he has made my life worth its while. Abe is the coolest person I’ll ever know).

fundraiser (theoretically i should love my job. i work at an amazing social justice umbrella org. everyday i meet inspiring people: street vendors, sex workers, human rights advocates, trans activists, and others. but traditional fundraising is problematic in so many ways. i want to raise as much money as i can b/c i know few places provide the holistic, nonjudgmental services/advocacy we do. but i. just. cant. I have to move on b/c its poisoning my outlook on work).

organizer (a very bad one lately…)

daydreamer (i fantasize a tad much, its why i’m always smiling :)

giver (this enfj description is pretty accurate, for the most part).

i love to ride my bike in the morning to nowhere - its the only part of my day that’s aimless. i can get really anxious very suddenly. I believe that life and love should be taken with a grain of salt.  i probably couldn’t be with someone I didn’t find instantly kissable. i listen to a lot of music, almost none of it stays with me. same with books and nearly everything else. this makes me really sad, b/c its probably shallow as fuck. i’m incredibly political - don’t feel like i have a choice to be otherwise.

to quote ma’ia i like to” surprise people by who i am, and who i am not, and what their assumptions say about themselves…

oh and i love hip hop and fairies.  so there’s that…”

you can ask me other things too.

I got called a smart ass by an anon today. Which, I totally am, by the way. Even my mug says so.
