I am different for different people.
People who know me, think i talk a lot and who don't consider me as being extremely shy and reserved.
The point is, i don't really like "being me" with anyone and everyone, the ones who have found the crazy me have actually found the real me, the latter people still have a lot to work out.
Further going…
During my pre Islamic Era I had been deluded in a falsely glamorous world, where friends, fashion, hanging out, movies, partying is all what i felt life was, but then suddently one day i get up to realize that i was all wrong!
I realized being crazy and doing all those cracked up stuff is not just life rather it has a greater purpose to it than what i had believed.
It was a year of struggle since then as i was confused and lost. I had to find what my purpose was exactly, and after the relentless struggle of a year, i actually found it... Alhamdulilah.
I knew then what exactly I wanted to do in my life, and didn’t delay in taking those steps!
With regards to my above statement arises an issue, according to my family and friends, they think i am too fast in taking decisions but again the fact is, i don't just take decisions i actually seek guidance from my Lord and when i feel its right i do not DELAY! It's because i am not sure whether i am going to live the next moment, and i do not want to do delay on a thing which i feel will get me closer to my purpose!
I am a dreamer, an idealist, an adventure freak, a writer, a poet (at times), a photographer (for fun), a walking box of ideas but above all am Amatuallah (the slave of Allah)… a "MUSLIMAH"
The beauty of being a “Muslimah”!! You get respect, blessings, fun and love all at once!
You wear it… You feel it!!!
