Here, I dive into a journey of self-discovery, one entry at a time. Join me on this personal exploration as I navigate the twists and turns of my life. Within these pages, I will uncover deep meanings, find inspiration, and build meaningful connections amidst the beautiful messiness of life. So, let’s start with open hearts and curious minds, as we dive into the rich fabric of my thoughts and life experiences.https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/married/Sun, 07 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/married/الحمد لله، يسرّنا أن نعلن عن عقد نكاحنا. بارك الله لنا وعلينا، وجمع بيننا في خير Meaning: All praise is due to Allah, we are pleased to announce our nikāḥ (marriage contract). May Allah bless us, bless upon us, and unite us in goodness. Tonight, on the 7th of September 2025, I’m sitting here as a husband. She is my wife. That’s still sinking in, and honestly, we both can’t fully process it yet.https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/reflections-2025/Wed, 27 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/reflections-2025/Reflections Last week marked my 26th birthday. Twenty six years on this planet, countless interactions with people, and a mind that never stops analyzing human behavior. As I step into this new year of life, I wanted to share some honest observations about the humans I’ve encountered and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Here’s something that might sound harsh but feels true: we’re all selfish. The difference isn’t whether we’re selfish or not it’s how we define our “self.https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/faatlab/Wed, 24 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/faatlab/My journey with Faatlab ends here !!! It’s been more than two years of working day and night for a dream, it has come to an end. This was a total rollercoaster ride with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. A lot of learnings, wins, losses, and a bunch of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I’ll narrate what went wrong (for me) in this chapter of my career and what went right. These 2 years of my life made me grow from an average software engineer to a team lead, a total jack of all trades and master of few (still building breaking, and learning new things every day).https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/in-search-of-my-lost-self/Mon, 01 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/in-search-of-my-lost-self/This time it’s a bit personal, I lost myself somewhere last year, It was not easy for me to cope up with that loss and I coudn’t find my old self anywhere as well yet. I believe it’s dead and I cannot be the same me anymore because that’s how life works and it’s a constant evolution and people who don’t evolve becomes extinct. I didn’t change for me and I’ve never done anything for me in the past few months and it’s depressing sometimes.https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/is-mental-health-a-myth/Sun, 17 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/is-mental-health-a-myth/Starting note…. I’m writing this with full positivity, I feel Mental health is a highly neglected topic in our society and I was planning to address it for quite some time. Mental health is as important or more important than physical health yet some people around us still stigmatize it as something negative. I’ve compiled some things I wish to convey most of them from my experiences, stories I heard, and things I researched, so read the rest and share your thoughts.https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/fake-it-till-you-make-it-really/Sat, 30 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/fake-it-till-you-make-it-really/I’m always intimidated by the act of bluffing blindly. Not against bluffing in general though. Always be genuine to your bluffs otherwise don’t do it. I believe I’m a realist in my team and I take actions only upon gaining clarity. So I often get blamed for not taking the first step. And to me it’s okay to not put my head in everything around me. But due to extreme peer pressure and a tonne of FOMO I take some first steps and regret later.https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/expectations-are-ruining-my-peace-of-mind/Sun, 17 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://thoughts.farismohamed.me/post/expectations-are-ruining-my-peace-of-mind/I have high expectations! I’m writing this with the hope that what I want to convey will come across as intended. You’re reading this with certain expectations, and fortunately, most of them won’t unfold as anticipated. We’re all human, and we tend to keep expecting things. When life is peaceful and free from insecurities and uncertainties, our expectations are generally realistic and achievable, although there are exceptions. However, when life is filled with insecurities, messiness, and struggles, we obsessively expect positive outcomes.
