وسقط اخر فراعنة مصر توت عنخ حسون

I am beyond proud to be Egyptian. Thank you God that i was able to live and witness this moment go down in history. May this be a beginning for greatness, peace and standing up for justice in all corners of the world. Now we know, when we think of those around us instead of thinking of only ourselves, what we can become. 

And to God we return

Sorry, I've been missing in updating my 30 day photo challenge. Yesterday i got a call that my friend's dad has passed away. I was shocked since i had just seen him 3 days ago, and my friend, i had just seen her this morning as she creeped up behind me to scare me. In a split second everything could change, my heart goes out to her, i stayed with her as she went to tell them in the hospital that her family didn't want an autopsy, at that moment i thought her the bravest person in the world. I honestly cannot describe how i was shaken to the core, all i wanted to do was find my own dad and wrap him in a huge bear hug. May God give her and her family patience and pass this time on us with ease. Inshallah i will resume updating the posts but please give us some time. Salams

Day Twenty-Four...i wish i could change..

people. I'm not sure if i want to change the way people interact with each other, or if i want to be able to control people's minds. I've almost come to the conclusion that Humanity is dead, compassion, and mercy are gone with wind too. I wish people would start acting each other as human beings, not as something that is lesser than they are.

This video says more than enough about cruelty that is rampent, it makes me wonder...

Day Twenty-three...Favorite Book

I'm not even gonna go on about how unfair it is too choose only one book, now the rest feel left out.

This book is about a girl who has a gift, of making the characters actually step out of the books when she reads. My ultimate fantasy!

We get it, it's an African thing

I might have been shouting speaking on the phone a bit too loudly, talking in Arabic and telling my friend anti-Mubarak/pro-freedom slogans which she could put on signs for the protest we were heading to. Now to think of it, it was probably not a pleasant experience for the girl sitting at the desk next to me. Anyhow, i finish the phone call to get into the following conversation

Random Guy: how are things looking in Egypt?
Me: the same, people still in the streets, Mubarak still president
RG: that's crazy, he just won't budge
Me: ya, 30 years and he thinks he's going to change things now
RG: May God be with them
Me: Ameen, where are you from?
RG: Tunisia
Me: and congratulations to you guys!

Day Twenty-Two...I wish i was better at

My writing. Sometimes you have all these emotions welled up inside you and you hear someone say something that screams out THATS WHAT I"M FEELING!!! I wish i could break-down my feelings like that, write my emotions out on paper, do it with eloquence, have someone read it and say " this couldn't have been said any better" I wish i had writing that explained life, its ins, outs, and everything in between. I wish i had writing that opened your imagination into the unimaginable and made you see things that are only seen in dreams.  I wish my writing made words come alive on the page ...literally. I want to Inspire!

Day Twenty-One...i'de like to forget

Not just forget, i wish i could erase this part of my past. The couple of years i lived in North Carolina were not my best, sometimes i wish i could forget it all. Remove the memories as if cleaning up a hard drive. But at times i thank God Almighty because only when i look at that situation do i remember that Allah does everything with a reason and that he knows what's best. The place in which i'm living right now i used to hate before moving there, I used to tell my mom that I'd rather die than move here and then when i moved to North Carolina i would have rather moved anywhere than stay there. So when i did end up moving here i was grateful Alhmdllah.



would you?
