LA sunlight just hits right. 🌞😎 ⠀

Woke up to freezing cold weather in DC today. We’ve been making the best of it with chilly trail hikes and cozy movies by the fireplace. But I’m still working on an escape plan to get back to Los Angeles! ⠀

My name means “Paradise on Earth.”⁠⠀

Social scientists believe that names produce a Dorian Gray effect, influencing personality, how we're perceived, and even physical appearance. What does yours mean?⁠⠀⁠⠀
Erum means "Jannat" in Urdu, which translates to 'Heaven' in English. It is also frequently spelled as Irum and Iram.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In Persian folklore it also refers to the story of King Shedad who wanted to compete with God and said that he would create Baghe 'Erum' (heaven on earth). To create this heaven he used up all his wealth and power, and even took money from the poor. He made it so beautiful that it was heard to have fountains of wine and milk and rocks of the most precious gems that one could ever imagine. His cruelty is said to have upset God and God decided to punish him so that he would never lay eyes on Erum. Just when Shedad was about to enter the gates of Erum he tripped on the steps and died on the spot. 🤦🏽‍♀️⁠⠀
