ayesha is detailed and individual.

q: what ideals are most meaningful to you, and how do they shape your outlook on life?
a: people that are considerate - i like people that are considerate of other people. i would say cause i’m considerate so when they’re not doing it back i just think “mm”. patience as well, yeah patience. it just makes me appreciate someone that’s actually patient because sometimes i need to take my time with things, so when someone is just rushing rushing, it’s just like “be considerate of why i’m asking you to be patient”.

i like calm mannered people as well. it just makes me think oh “sometimes you don’t have to be so rash with your decisions.. just be calm, take a minute to think about things”. i like people that are content as well. it just makes me realise that you don’t have to be greedy or need things that you want, but then don’t get too comfortable with being content. and that’s why jaff says “all you have is all you need” - people like that make me have a good outlook on life.

q: advice for someone who’s trying to do a new thing?
a: go for it! God, i wish i went for a lot of things when i was younger! i was too busy just tryna impress people, (i giggled) so whateve- no serious this is actually so serious! sometimes i just think back, i just think “i should’ve pursued things in secondary school”.  even if i did art or if i did textiles - something like that. i wish i honestly done it.

i wish i didn’t listen to people as well. obviously take in what people are saying, but don’t do things for people, do things for yourself. yes. don’t disregard everything cause some people do have good advice, but understand why they’re saying it and if it’s important to you. if it’s not important then please, do-what-your-heart-tells-you-to-do. 

try as many things as possible even if it’s something that you never really thought you’d be interested in. you never know, you can be interested later on. don’t limit yourself in life. that’s my advice for the younger me - oh my gosh. i would’ve done so much creative stuff by now, but it’s okay i’m only 24 so.. you know! and also don’t dwell on things now, think of what you can do to make a change cause if you just keep dwelling you’re just gonna be stuck in the same position. i need to take this advice myself.
