Not a diary, not an opinions page, just a place where I can write my mind when I feel like it. So don't expect anything consistant, I don't write tributes (like the last article) everyday, and the entries I post will cover many varied, and maybe totally unrelated topics. And since this is my first time blogging, I still have a lot to learn but i'll try to catch up.
Have a good time here.

My First Post: The Start of a New Chapter
'Behind every cloud there's a silver lining...'
These seven words summarise my view of the present and my hopes for the future.
Today I open a new chapter of my story, where the heartache of yesteryear no longer haunts me. My new found optimism, tempered by real-world experiences, is giving me the inspiration to finally write my mind.
This is my first post, and I intend to dedicate some words to a deserving few,
Firstly my family, my pillar of strength, my personal support team, giving me the will to go on with my life the best way I could in the face of adversity. Though my childhood was not all peaches and cream, my family is there when I need them most, and for that I am truly grateful to them.
My friends who have constantly stood by me when I'm in tough spots. They helped get me back to where I am today after falling down several time.
The few people who helped me through my first encounter with certain 'bad experiences' many, many years back, thank you for your help and since one of you is no longer with us, may Allah grant mercy upon you in the afterlife and I pray that you're soul rests in heaven.
I'd also like to apologize to my classmates. I have been a nuisance to you, your studies and generally the well-being of the class for a better part of last year. I vow not to make that mistake again, I'm sorry for letting personal emotions get in the way of your day to day activities.
Finally, alhamdulillah, I thank Allah for the brighter days he has given me and am grateful for his compassion in trying times.
