Oh snap! Its been almost 2 months…so much for “Everyday” with Hiba J. But many things have happened during this time such as: I came back to America from Syria, my best friend got married in Jersey, my uncle came to visit from Saudi Arabia, we took a trip to Colorado, I got accepted into dental hygiene school in St. Louis, Ramadan, I got an apartment, Eid and now…back to reality.
Over the past couple of weeks I've been trying to wrap my brain around all the change that's going to be happening in the next couple weeks. So I compiled a list of things that have been running through my little head. Here goes...
Allah
Surat Taha…my new obsession
Intentions
Gheeba sucks
Packing, which im in denial about
Moving…do I really want to do this?
Friends…I don’t want to make new ones, I already like the ones I got
Hend’s Moving…stupid Jersey
Not seeing my best friends everyday
Leaving Rula, Arwa and all my girls
Qu’ran…I wish I had it memorized
New masjid
New school
Only hijabi
Will I make friends?
I feel alone
My heart hurts
Salah makes me happy
Intentions
New apartment…need to buy night lights
My nafs
I'm going to miss my mom
I wish Ahmed will move with me
I should look for a job
Will I do well in hygiene school?
St. Louie…the Nelly song
Balance
I wish I can memorize the Qu’ran
Im going to miss Columbia
Intentions
Keeping Allah happy with me
Is what I'm doing worth it?
I hope the Prophet (pbuh) will be proud
Life’s too short…tick, tick tick.

ReplyDeleteTotally get what you're saying Hiba! I dealt with similar issues when leaving. Sometimes being alone in a new place can be a blessing in disguise-it's a great opportunity to self reflect and to discipline your mind and heart to revolving around Allah (swt). Take care habibty and I'm always a phone call, text or email away if you need me :)
