When you found something that you wanted all along, at the wrong time.

I calm my heart by saying maktoob,
because indeed everything is written
and the pen has been lifted and the ink
has dried. Whatever happens, happens
for the best. I shall continue to walk
while asking Him to guide each footstep
that I make, hoping that this walk, this
journey, will bring me back Home,
regardless of which route in life I take.

Dear Allah

If you’re still listening to me despite my shortcomings 

and many sins, I want to ask you one thing: Make me better.

Make me better than the person I am right now, 

make me better than the person I want to be,

make me better than the people I aspire to be like. 

I’ve spent too long being ok with just being ok, Lord. 

I know you aren’t finished with me yet
