- [The Butterfly Illusion Theory of Love by Sadia Hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/the-butterfly-illusion-theory-of-love/): People want the butterfly parts of you without that pupa stage. They want the light without the darkness. But can a 3-stage metamorphosis result in a butterfly?  A 3-stage insect never has to face the death of its former self to reach its final form. It simply grows larger, tougher, and more recognizable. That is continuous growth, but it is not a transformation. To become a butterfly, you cannot simply improve upon the caterpillar. You must dissolve. Most people aren’t ready to see that caterpillar stage, the hungry, crawling, earth-bound creature. And they certainly aren’t ready for the pupa stage, where […]
- [The Butterfly Illusion Theory of Life by Sadia Hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/the-butterfly-illusion-theory-of-life/): The Butterfly Illusion: why transformation requires the darkness >>> Society has lied to us about what it means to grow. We are taught that progress is a straight line, a ladder, a steady climb from one success to the next. We are told that if we just work harder and get bigger, we are winning. But this is the 3-stage trap. It is a version of life that avoids the quiet, messy, and terrifying necessity of falling apart. I founded The Butterfly Illusion Theory because I realized that most people are in love with the result of a transformation, but they […]

- [Protecting My Words: Why Paraphrasing is Still Theft](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/protecting-my-words-why-paraphrasing-is-still-theft/): ​It has come to my attention recently that a specific stanza from my book has been circulating online in a distorted form. As an author, seeing your work resonate with others is a gift, but seeing it stripped of its origin and altered to bypass ownership is deeply disheartening. ​The Original vs. The Imitation ​In my book, The Weight of Tender Things (ISBN 978-627-94725-0-2), I wrote a specific line that many of you have shared and connected with ( It went viral on social media the moment I posted it): ​”People, people, people, an ocean of people, but I can’t find […]

- [the invisible burden that men carry in silence](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/international-mens-day-the-silent-burden/): Can we just be honest for a minute? ​On International Men’s Day, let’s pause the cheering and talk about the unspoken: the massive, invisible burden many men carry just to fulfill a role they didn’t choose. We often praise men for their resilience, but we rarely discuss the high price they pay for it. ​Society hands out a cruel and quiet contract: “You must be a provider, be a protector, be a solution, but never, ever be uncertain or emotionally needy.”  The price of that contract is their humanity. ​For so many, being “manly” has been tragically synonymized with emotional unavailability.

- [Being born sensitive in a desensitized world - sadia hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/being-born-sensitive-in-a-desensitized-world/): It’s a miserably painful curse, to be born with a heart this sensitive. It’s a terribly pitiful suffering, to be born in a society this desensitized.

- [Art is political and poetry is biased - Quotes on political poetry by Sadia Hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/art-is-political-and-poetry-is-biased/): Art was always political because art challenges these very things that fool people and destroy civilizations. It must. ~ Sadia Hakim _______ In the time of moral crisis, oppression and inhumanity, literature that doesn’t challenge societal norms should be incinerated or else it will reduce your morals to ashes. And art that doesn’t cater to the moral, intellectual, and spiritual needs of the society should be incarcerated or else it will detain your existence in the chains of slavery. ~ Sadia Hakim _______ Truly unbiased poetry is the biased one. If poetry can’t amplify the sidelined voices and silenced narratives, it […]

Let me tell you that you can die from a broken heart. There is this thing called takotsubo cardiomyopathy. It’s emotional or physical stress-induced cardiomyopathy. Emotional trauma / death / loss of someone or something / domestic abuse / financial loss / confrontation whether physical or verbal between people with opposing views / some goodbyes / even social anxiety can trigger it. So when people say they have sharp pain inside their chest over something emotional — something that might seem trivial or normal to you, but it’s not a heart […]

- [I am afraid I will die but my body will not. Sadia Hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/i-am-afraid-i-will-die-but-my-body-will-not/): Will I stop stargazing and moon gazing? Or will I become more addicted to them? I asked myself while thinking about being tied to the wrong person, trapped in the wrong version of life. Will I still be able to cherish the first flower in my planter? Will I still be able to cherish rain? Will I still love cooking? Or will the constant taunts and the lack of recognition for my effort make me give up on this hobby? This is what I thought might happen. This is what I think does happen when you’re trapped with the wrong person, […]

- [I have my madness like any other human](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/i-have-my-madness-like-any-other-human/): Every sane person bleeds somewhere you can’t see. Some drown in routine, some in silence, some in love that never loved them back. Every sane person has their own madness, every healed person has their own wars, every wounded person has their own scars. As for me, please remember that I am a sane woman, but I have my madness. On the surface, I appear rational, composed, and in control — the way society expects. But beneath that, I carry my own storms, obsessions, flaws, passions, and emotional intensity. My “madness” isn’t something to fear, it’s part of my truth, my […]
- [If tomorrow the sun rises without me — the irony of being a being](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/if-tomorrow-the-sun-rises-without-me/): If tomorrow the sun rises without me in its world, let me tell you today: the wind will still roam. The birds will still sing. Nothing changes in this world, but let me tell you, something will. If tomorrow the sun rises without me, you won’t see the shift with your eyes. Clocks will tick the same, and coffee will still steam in morning cups. But we are entangled, you and me, me and this world, like notes in a chord stretched across time. Something would happen to this universe. If tomorrow comes without me, the gravity will shift, quietly, like […]

- [There is something so sacred about being alone](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/there-is-something-so-sacred-about-being/): There is something so miraculously hopeful about grey skies.

- [I fight to be a human in a dehumanized world](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/i-fight-to-be-a-human-sadia-hakim/): I am so undeniably lonely, so unspeakably unlovable. I am a woman of strict boundaries in a world that thinks it owns my body, soul, thoughts, values, future, life, and destiny. I am so unbearably rebellious, so undesirably human. I am a woman shaped by defiance, by solitude, by understanding, by empathy, and this combination is indigestible to a world built on oppression, control, and inhumanity. I am a human in a dehumanizing society. And I fight to stay a human in a dehumanized world. — Sadia Hakim
- [Stop blaming religions for the sins of individuals](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/stop-blaming-religions-for-the-sins/): A Hindu does something wrong — you drag Hinduism. A Muslim fails — you stain Islam.A Christian messes up — you mock the cross. A Jew makes a mistake — you curse Judaism. A Sikh stands accused — you question the entire faith. Even atheists aren’t spared from your filthy generalizations. Why? Why do you act like that one idiot is a divine representation? As if they’re some walking scripture or the creator of that particular religion. They’re not your God. They’re not your Prophet. They’re just a flawed, insignificant human with a name. And if you still can’t tell the […]
- [You are my sunshine breaking through clouds](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/you-are-my-sunshine-breaking-through-clouds/): You are my sunshine breaking through clouds. You are my sunrise rising through mountains. You are my dawn chasing away shadows. You are my rain softening the drought. You are my compass pointing me home. You are my garden blooming through ruins. You are my river cutting through stone. You are my armor shielding my heart. — Sadia Hakim Poet’s Note A love letter in metaphors — this piece captures the strength of someone who feels like safety, renewal, and direction all at once. It’s about the kind of love that heals, grounds, and transforms us even in our darkest moments.
- [We die a million times to live once](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/we-die-a-million-times-to-live-once/): We die a million times to live once, while the goal should be to live a million times to die once. Reality steals the first; dreams gift us the second. — Sadia Hakim Poet’s Note A poetic reflection on how we die a thousand emotional deaths just to feel alive once — when it should have been the other way around. This quote explores the cost of surviving reality versus truly living through dreams.
- [Self-worth cannot be borrowed —  it's yours alone](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/self-worth-cannot-be-borrowed-its-yours/): I discovered today that one of my favorite content creators recently had plastic surgery, and it shattered something inside me. She had given me so much confidence — just by owning herself publicly, focusing on her content and creativity rather than her body and beauty. It reminded me of a few things: — Sadia Hakim People who seem perfect are often bleeding behind the curtains. — Sadia Hakim Everyone’s fighting a battle, silently, until they find the strength to speak. — Sadia Hakim Your self-worth cannot survive if it’s built on someone else’s survival story. — Sadia Hakim The freedom you […]
- [A poem of humanity for gaza — sadia hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/a-poem-of-humanity-for-gaza-sadia-hakim/): Woe be to the soul that betrays its own heart, that forgets the pulse of justice in its chest, that sells its voice for power and its peace for comfort. And woe be to my pen if it can’t write about humanity, if it can’t capture the screams, the silence, the broken hearts. And woe be to my soul if it turns away from the truth— if it lets the world burn without a single word to fight back. These years have ripped something out of me. I watched children buried in dust while the world debated “context.” Their toys melted, […]

- [Rare love takes time. You are not late.](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/rare-love-takes-time-you-are-not-late/): Don’t let social media or characterless people make you believe that you’re getting too old to be someone’s first love. There are many people who haven’t experienced their first love yet, many souls like you who long for one person to spend their life with, instead of switching people like clothes and shoes. There are those who’ve never let anyone touch their mind, heart, or body, because they too are waiting for someone with spiritual and emotional hygiene. Just because you love deeply, truly, and without shortcuts doesn’t mean you’re outdated, it means you’re rare. And rare things take time. You’re […]
- [I had never known resentment until](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/i-had-never-known-resentment-until/): Resentment— I had never known this feeling until I saw my parents hate me yet love other kids devotedly. More times than I can count, I have sat on the stairs, watching them laugh and tolerate those kids—their most vulgar language, their unbearable moves—and thought: If only they had poured this love and patience into me. It’s okay if they couldn’t. It was their first time parenting, and I was a “nice kid,” saying nothing over physical abuse and emotional abandonment. But why don’t they do it now? They rarely talk without taunts and hatred, yet they love others. Resentment— I […]

What’s heavy for one person might mean nothing to another, and vice versa. What matters is that we respect each other’s experiences and grievances, and honor the time and space it takes to feel it all. It’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s not a weakness. It’s being human. Purely and painfully human. It’s okay to process things differently. We all translate life in the language of our own experiences. — Sadia Hakim Be human with me.

Will you talk about Rigel, about Sirius, about Capella, about Europa, about Alpha Tauri? O my beloved human, will you experience otherworldly experiences with me? Will you search with me for the alien code theory in terms of spirits? Will you go mad with me over this absolutely perfect world, built on perfect rules and regulations, to the levels of antimatter? O my beloved, will you try infusing and extracting teas from my favorite daisies, lavenders, and hibiscus plants from our garden? Will you taste my […]
- [Can you love someone who hates himself](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/can-you-love-someone-who-hates-himself/): How can you love someone who hates himself so perfectly, so explicitly, so enraged-ly, so violently, so destructively, disturbingly, devouring-ly, mercilessly, venomously, painfully, demonically, diabolically, and humanly that even hate despises any interaction with their being? I am asking this on behalf of my heart. — Sadia Hakim // Letters Unsent
- [When religion touches lips, not souls — Sadia Hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/when-religion-touches-lips-not-souls/): Ramadan comes and goes, but some people remain untouched, unmoved, unchanged. They fast from food but not from cruelty, recite verses but never pause to understand them. They rush through thirty chapters as if tallying marks on a scorecard, as if faith is something to be completed, not lived. They worry about missing a prayer but not about the words they spit like venom between rak’ahs. They keep their stomachs empty but feed their egos, keep their lips sealed from water but not from backbiting, cursing, breaking souls with sharp tongues and sharper stares. And yet, they are the first to […]
- [The illusion of heroes and villains: grey morality in human nature](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/the-illusion-of-heroes-and-villains/): In life, there are no heroes and no villains. I dislike dramas and movies because, in stories, there is just one fixed villain or more than one villain, and there is one fixed hero or more than one hero, and they remain just villains and heroes for the rest of their lives until the writer bothers with a redemption arc. Life is not this black and white. Life comes in greys. I have always said this. In life, there are no heroes and no villains, just ordinary people mishandling other people. There are people mishandling their potential to be human. There […]
- [It's okay to be a failed star or a dwarf planet — cosmapoetica](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/its-okay-to-be-a-failed-star-or-a-dwarf/): I think you can be a failed star and still protect the whole solar system, still help life thrive, still maintain that balance that ultimately affects the presence of every single thing in existence. I wonder how this applies to humans who think of themselves as failures—why they do not understand that it’s okay if they cannot be the sun. It’s okay if they are the failed star. It’s okay if they cannot transition from a planet to a star, no matter how big, how beautiful, how amassed they are, or how much effort and struggle they put in. They are […]

- [Sukogita — being stressed out and chill at the same time](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/sukogita-being-stressed-out-and-chill/): Sukogita (sū-koh-ji-ta) I love this word—Sukogita, coined by Sadia Hakim, literally meaning “being stressed out and chill at the same time”—like when you have exams yet still scroll memes on Instagram. It’s a blend of “Sukoon” (سکون) from Urdu, meaning peace or tranquility, and “Agita” from Italian, meaning restlessness or anxiety. It encapsulates the paradox of feeling both at peace and restless at the same time—a state where you are stressed yet strangely calm, carrying tension but also a quiet acceptance of it. It is the sensation of standing in the eye of a storm, where the world whirls in chaos […]
- [Les regrets sont les cicatrices du cœur (Regrets are the scars of the heart)](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/les-regrets-sont-les-cicatrices-du-coeur/): Les regrets sont les cicatrices du cœur (lay ruh-gray sohn lay see-ka-trees dy kuhr) Neologized and first used by Sadia Hakim, this statement means “Regrets are the scars of the heart.” The word cicatrices comes from the Latin cicatrix, meaning “scar,” and is widely used in both medical and botanical contexts to describe the marks left after healing—whether on skin, trees, or even wounded landscapes. It conveys how past decisions, missed chances, and unspoken words carve themselves into us, leaving marks that never fully fade. Regrets do not stay as open wounds, but they settle deep beneath the surface—silent, unhealed, waiting […]
- [Homecoming to your own heart — grief, rage, ruins](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/homecoming-to-your-own-heart-grief-rage/): How many doors do you need to lead toward your own heart? How many walks, stumbles, and breakpoints do you need to reach there? The heart is just there on the left of your chest, behind this fragile ribcage, yet it takes decades to reach it. How ironic is that? You spend years searching for it in other people, in moments, in places that were never meant to hold it. You hand over the keys to its doors to those who don’t know how to use them or where the doors are, and if they find them, they force these doors […]
- [You think He doesn’t know — the One who created?](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/you-think-he-doesnt-know-the-one-who/): ألا يعلم من خلق وهو اللطيف الخبير “Shall He not know—He Who created? And He is the One Who knows even the most hidden matters, fully aware of all things.” You think He doesn’t know? The One who created every inch of you — the noise in your head, the silence you carry, the weight you refuse to name, the breaking point you keep crossing. He knows. Not just what you let show, but what you bury even from yourself. He knows what broke you before you even saw the cracks. He is subtle — not absent. Not loud, not forceful. […]
- [You get tired, and so do they — sadness poetry](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/you-get-tired-and-so-do-they-sadness-poetry/): But honey, how many wounds can you show to this world? How many wars? How many battlegrounds? You get tired of bleeding in front of people. Tired of sharing your scars, tired of bandaging your wounds alone. You get tired of asking for help. Even your pain gets tired. And people… they always get tired. There’s a grief so deep it doesn’t scream. It just sits inside you like a dull blade — slicing slowly inch by inch, deliberate cuts no one can see. You wake up every day dragging that weight, breathing like it’s a punishment. The world moves, people […]
- [What if you are not meant to make it? — Sadia Hakim](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/what-if-you-are-not-meant-to-make-it/): You worry about the wrong partner, but maybe marriage isn't even in your destiny... maybe your soul will be called back before that time.
- [I don't like people who can't be alone](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/i-dont-like-people-who-cant-be-alone/): I think I do not like people who do not have solitude or loneliness as a choice or an option, but have it as the last option or a compulsion. Never ever dare fall for someone who cannot be alone, who cannot sit alone, who cannot walk alone, who cannot eat alone, who cannot go to a restaurant alone, who cannot sit at a table or think about life while drinking a cup of tea alone. People who cannot be alone with their company are always nauseated and disgusted by themselves, their souls, their thoughts, their hearts. They always need people, […]
- [When worship lacks mercy, it loses meaning](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/when-worship-lacks-mercy-it-loses-meaning/): Knowledge, when not translated into mercy, becomes arrogance. Worship, when detached from empathy, becomes self-serving.
- [The sacredness of being unseen and going unnoticed](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/the-sacredness-of-being-unseen-and-going/): They cannot hunt what they cannot see — that’s the sacredness of going unnoticed. There is a violence in being seen — not always with fists, but with eyes that demand, with hands that take, with mouths that dissect you like you’re prey. The world does not witness, it consumes. It feeds on softness, chews through vulnerability like it’s owed. I’ve stood in that fire, watched them strip names into labels, souls into performances. And I’ve learned — survival is not about being louder. It’s about knowing when to vanish. When to pull your soul back into your ribcage and lock […]
- [You can impress me just by being a human](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/you-can-impress-me-just-by-being-a-human/): The only way you can impress me is by being a human. I don’t care about your social status as much as I care about your emotional and human status. A person who can’t be emotionally intelligent can be neither spiritually nor intellectually intelligent. I don’t care about the house you live in, but I definitely care about the company you live in — the tables you sit at, the people you walk with, the movies you enjoy, the hobbies you got, the jokes you laugh at, the pain you ignore, the wrongs you excuse, the people you envy, the voices […]
- [Choosing yourself feels like losing everyone](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/choosing-yourself-feels-like-losing/): Choosing yourself will feel like losing everyone and everything. That’s when it cuts the deepest — when you’re forced to decide between you and the world.
- [There is no hunger in my soul, no void in my lineage, no ancestral calling that says](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/there-is-no-hunger-in-my-soul-no-void-in/): I would rather walk alone than rub shoulders with people of no core at all — for solitude is far more fulfilling than the presence of the hollow.
- [It can be between the curves of your hands](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/it-can-be-between-the-curves-of-your-hands/): Destiny — qadar, they say. It can be between the curves of your hands, and still not yours.  — Sadia Hakim
- [Mind in medicine, heart in art, soul in pen — that’s who I am](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/mind-in-medicine-heart-in-art-soul-in-pen/): I am a girl with a mind in STEM, a heart in art, and a soul in pen — where science fuels my thoughts, art shapes my vision, and poetry sets my spirit free
- [In my dreams, I come home to you](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/in-my-dreams-i-come-home-to-you/): In my dreams, I come home to you.Not because I choose to — it just happens.Like my mind’s holding onto somethingit can’t find in real life. You.This idea of you.This feeling that maybe, for once,I belong somewhere —not in places, not with people, just with you. But then I wake up.And it’s gone.Just air, just silence, just me.And I hate that I chase sleep now,just to get back to somethingthat might not even be real. Is it you I miss,or the peace I feel when I’m not awake?I don’t know.I’m stuck in this space —too tired to hope,too stubborn to let […]
- [Everything I dream about, I dream about with you](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/everything-i-dream-about-i-dream-about-with/): I’ll be dreaming about the most random things — and boom, it’s you. Everything I dream about, I dream about with you.
- [Claustrophobia — suffocating inside my body](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/claustrophobia-suffocating-inside-my-body/): I am claustrophobic. Do you understand that? This heart is caged in this body, and this soul is buried in its darkness. Can you understand my pain? Can you hear my screams? Can you feel my suffocation? Can you know my madness? I am horribly confined. I am disgustingly limited. I am claustrophobic. Do you understand that? This heart is caged in this body, beating against its ribs like a prisoner rattling the bars. And this soul—buried alive in its own darkness, clawing for light that never comes. Can you understand my pain? Can you hear my silent screams, the ones […]
- [The ease of loving: a memoir of love and poetry](https://sadiahakimofficial.com/the-ease-of-loving-a-memoir-of-love/): Back then, love didn’t need labels. It was just moments — built quietly with kindness, care, and memory. And somehow, those little things stayed with us longer than anything else.

Goodreads username (sadiahakimofficial) Description For readers of Sylvia Plath, Anaïs Nin, Fernando Pessoa, Carl Jung, and Virginia Woolf, as well as lovers of raw and defiant inner truths, Sadia Hakim offers a visual poetry book that feels like a soul remembering itself — wounded, watchful, and unapologetically human.
