“Our hearts are drunk with beauty.”
I have a love and hate relationship with the TTC. It takes me where I need to go but it always has delays or is out of service.
Today, right now, it is out of service. Imagine yourself having had only 10 hours of sleep since monday. You have been carrying a bag that feels about 20 pounds. You have been walking all day and later on standing and cleaning at your soul-sucking retail job. By the end...

For the past few days I was wondering why I was upset. Was I upset because I lost those who I considered to be close friends? Was I upset because I didn’t know who I was close with now? Who to trust? Did I feel alone? Did I feel betrayed? Why was I so sad about this issue?
I finally realized why I was so upset. The reason was I was upset with myself. I did something this year that I never...

Day 10: Life inside your bag.
My bag.
Useless question.
WELL, everyone I know have bags that seem as if they were created to never mess up. You open it up and you find it so neat. Every item has a place and never moves. No extra papers, no loose items, no extra packs of gum, cream and miscellaneous items. Every item has a purpose.
My bag however looks like a mess. Not a disgusting mess but a cluttered mess. Anything you...

Day 9: Beliefs
I don’t really know what to write hear. I should have done this earlier because I could write an essay on my beliefs.
I’m Muslim. I believe in Allah and his prophets, the angels, heaven and hell, Day of Judgment, Qadr, and all of his creations. I believe in monotheism, in continued revelation from Adam to Muhammad, in complete submission to the orders from Allah, in the idea of...
I was always moving through my life so I never made roots, never made best friends, never made close connections, never felt missed.
For once in my life I want to be important to someone, to some people. I want them to think of me instead of always it being the other way. I want them to trust me, to consider me as a close friend. It sounds dumb but I want to be missed, to be asked where I am or...

I can sleep well tonight.
I have caught up on Community. I love Abed and guess what! This is a celebrity crush that could actually work, since, well he`s Muslim.

Day 7: Description of your life.
I don’t even know how to describe my life, if I have to describe this week, this month, I would call it depressing. My life is stressful. I work and volunteer and go to university while also doing my household obligations. I drive myself crazy. I am happy, sad, confused, angry. I sometimes feel alone and an outsider. I have no idea what I want to do with my life.
But then I realize I am...

Day 6: Fears
I fear Allah, Day of Judgement, Hellfire, disappointing my mother and drowning.
Earthly things such as fear of heights and so on are not really fears to me because if I dislike something, I hate the fact that I dislike it and make myself get over it. I have done that for almost everything that has feared me except with one thing- SWIMMING. I can’t swim. I will never learn how to swim. I...
