		<description>swallowing the words is so hard sometimes, especially if you&#039;re me and say too many things without thinking them through beforehand. and because my conscience doesn&#039;t do its duty as well as it should when it comes to the words i speak, i&#039;m not as haunted by what i say as i should be. it&#039;s a sad dilemma. if that made any sense at all. 

and i know i&#039;ve said this before, but masha&#039;Allah, your writing is amazing (for lack of a better word at the moment).</description>

		<description>But what is harder. Swallowing them or watching them wreak havoc once Pandorian?
In each case, you&#039;re to suffer, for the words themselves have wrought plenty from you, an extension of what slowly grows in you.

I&#039;m too vague for my own good sometimes.

To suffer is to love? I don&#039;t know.
To ache is to grow? Then why am I still this short.
To breathe or not to breathe, that is the question mmm.

jaza kala khair for your appreciation. Alhamdulilah, sometimes it just comes out right. Such is an instructional designer writer blogger&#039;s life.

just keep enjoying. that&#039;s all.</description>

		<description>I have no idea what an instructional designer is. I&#039;m surprised you&#039;re not majoring in writing of some sort, since you&#039;re so dang good at it. (unless of course, a instructional designer IS a writer.... I wouldn&#039;t know)

And me, I&#039;m not studying, I&#039;m working. I&#039;m supposed to go back and get my masters, but reality got in the way.</description>

		<description>=)
In Instructional Design, we design, implement and evaluate effective educational material in order to meet an instructional need, in both academic and corporate environments.

Hope that helps. I looked up my own dept website but it lacked a phrase definition.

As for being a writer, after having read Yasmine&#039;s uber long post, which mentioned her collection of novels, I am a novice in the field of reading and writing. To put up a good post is actually quite the work, and afterwords , I wait a few days before I can gather up the energy/strength to be able to...exhale verbally again.

jaza kala khair Owl. If it helps, I did almost minor in French.</description>

		<description>Now that sounds like a cool field, really useful and very much needed. What are you going to do with your degree? 

I studied journalism and English, thus, I&#039;m an English journalist.</description>
