    Maybe, I was never meant to be perceived this much (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I’ve always had this strange feeling that I would love to be invisible. Not invisible in the emotional sense, where nobody knows me or understands me or cares that I exist. I actually want the complete opposite of that. I want to be known, deeply. I want my thoughts to be heard and acknowledged. I want the people I love to understand the way my brain works, what matters to me, what makes me laugh, what makes me angry, what I believe in and all the little things that make me me. But physically, s

    Why Don’t You Visit Me? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I’m scared of forgetting you.Not forgetting you in the way that you forgot us. I know what took your memories from you. I know that forgetting our names, our faces, the things we had done together wasn’t a choice you made. Your memory left you slowly, piece by piece, until eventually we were the ones left carrying it for you. We remembered the person you were before dementia changed you. We remembered your stories when you could no longer tell them yourself. We remembered enough for both of us.A

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    With the rise in popularity of Obsession, You, and the number of men online saying they want their girl to be like Nikki or Love Quinn, it had me thinking about the way we romanticise the “crazy girl.”The jealous girl. The needy girl. The girl who is completely obsessed with her boyfriend, wants all of his attention and cannot stand the thought of another woman having him. Men joke about wanting a woman who is crazy about them, who gets possessive, who misses them after five minutes and who care

    This too shall pass (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    There is both comfort and sadness in the saying, “this too shall pass.” We usually reach for those words in moments of hardship, when life feels unbearably heavy, and we need to believe that what we are feeling will not last forever. There is comfort in knowing that pain moves, that circumstances change, that even the longest nights eventually surrender to morning. But hidden within the same sentence is a quieter and perhaps more difficult truth: the good will pass too.The moments we wish we cou

    Grief Is Love Persevering (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Death is something we all must face in this dunya. It is one of the few things in life that is completely unavoidable. We know it is coming for us and for everyone we love. Islam does not hide this reality from us. We are reminded that every soul will taste death, that this life is temporary, and that ultimately we belong to Allah (SWT) and to Him we return.And yet, knowing all of that does not make grief easy.I recently lost my grandfather. I have written about him before, particularly in <a hr
