On Children

"

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

"

Kahlil Gibran (excerpt from On Children)

under some neon lights

I'm just sitting here in the registers Office at school waiting for my brother to get everything cleared up so he can get registerd for university.  I'm actually excited to get started and so glad to be back in town. Oh home sweet home. I already have my resolutions all planned out and like every year i expect half of them to go unfullfilled, but at least i try, no!


Inshallah may this coming year be full of awesomeness and happy adventures for everyone!


Study hard ya'll 

The monsters inside your head

Beware that when you fight the monsters you do not become one of them. 

Mission Statement

I vow to be a servant of God, one who always tries and takes a step forward in her life and through her seeking of knowledge. 
I promise to be a student of life, one who learns from her mistakes and leaves the past for that. 
One who always takes hold of an opportunity when it hits. 
I will try and leave the judging of others up to God and worry about how i portray my actions first and foremost. 
I will do my best but i will also realize and come to terms with the fact that some things are not in my hands to change, and others, that if God hadn't answered my prayers for them, it was for the better. 
I will not stand silent to injustice and oppression. 
I will stand for the truth even if my voice shakes doing it. 
I will count my  blessings and honor the people who love me. 
First and foremost, i will not simply exist but i will live, breathe and inhale the beauty of life which God has in his generosity granted me.

Home grown Country Fun

We all know how God works in wondrous( is that a word?)  ways yet we still manage to forget that and get ourselves in a tangle worrying about what hasn't been. Only to look back later and tell ourselves, "that's the only way i woulda had it." 




and oh! some Eid goodness. 

                                                     Yea, they do call me Mr. Handsome.

                                                             and then i got real mad.

Popcorn!

It takes skills to be a swordfighter, but even more to be a cotton candy fighter 

What Muslim art looks like 

                       When you gotta read a book, It doesn't matter if you're in the bouncy castle . You DO IT!
