Thank You, God.

Thank You God for taking away what I thought I needed and wanted. Thank You for allowing me to hurt and bruise deeply, and thank You for allowing me the time to grieve as well as heal. Thank You for constantly humbling me and making me somehow always turn right back to You. 

Thank You for the happiness that You place in my heart. Thank You for allowing me to lose so that I may gain what You have planned for me, which is nothing short of perfection. 

Thank You for the patience that You allow me to have, and thank You for every single thing that happens in my life, both good and bad. Thank You for making me realize that everything that happens, happens at the perfect time. If I don't see it now, I'll see it eventually. 

Thank You for everything that didn't happen. 

Forgive me for ever even slightly forgetting who is The Best of Planners. Forgive me for losing myself in this dunya, and thank You for accepting me, again and again. 

Thank You, O Allah, for saving me from what I had no real knowledge of. To You, I will be forever grateful. 

{Oh and thank You for all of the amazing people in my life that have helped me in some way or another. Thank You for the blessings You've sent for me, through them.} 

Allahu Akbar. God is THE Greatest. 

Don't you forget that. 

Quran 2:156

Exposing My Natural Self

Hey everyone,
Peace be upon you all!

So, it is no secret that I struggle tremendously with acne. It has affected me greatly in recent years. I'm breaking out of my shell by exposing myself, and my bare skin, to the world. It's a ballsy thing to do, but I knew that it would be necessary for my growth.

The first time I decided to sit down in front of my HD camera with my acne filled face, I was beyond nervous. I hadn't shown my bare face to my YouTube viewers in such a long time. It held me back from making tutorials, and even making videos. I witnessed one of my favorite YouTubers become torn down because of her acne and how bad it got, and I knew that I had the same problem. I didn't want to face it and I wasn't comfortable with myself yet. This year, I decided to just do it. I sat down and told My Acne Story. I got an amazing response! Not one rude comment, but I knew what a lot of people were thinking. Regardless, I continue to show my bare face. I'm most self conscious about people that I know in real life see me without makeup on, and I know the easiest way is through my YT channel.

Anyways, I've come a long way alhamdulillah. I still have a long way to go. I'd like to think that I'm on the journey to clear skin. Hopefully that'll come soon, because who doesn't want clear skin? Regardless, I will continue to share my story and journey with the world. I have become a lot more comfortable with myself, my natural self. I plan on doing more posts about my acne, etc. on my blog including HD pictures insha'Allah.

Here's my acne playlist! There, I share my tips, story, struggle, and journey. Enjoy.

I hate these times. I just sink into a deep thought that lies at the core of my soul. I turn into my worst enemy. I become my own torture. And I'm reminded of the pain, that pain. That is when I'm no longer the Amy everyone knows. I become a stranger to myself. I become paralyzed.   

I know time heals all, but I wish it would go faster. I'm almost across the finish line. Literally two steps until I'm on the other side. 

I'm convinced that as long as I'll remember, the pain caused by betrayal will always reside deep within me. I'm not sure if I could ever forget the truth that I was forced to see. 

At the same time, I know it isn't true that pain will last forever. Nothing ever does. 

It is by the grace of God, that I'll only get better. 

This is YOUR Moment

So, here we are. It's funny how so close could seem/seems so far.

(J. Cole reference;) 

In all seriousness, those words aka lyrics are so relevant to me right now. So here we are. So here I am.

In "This is YOUR Moment," "YOUR" is indeed, me. So I'm kinda talking to myself, which is what I usually do when I write a new blog post, or preach on Twitter. ;) This is MY moment.

We're all always at different points in our lives. No two of us have ever experienced the same exact thing, feeling, etc. at the same exact time. You might be at a completely different point in your life, and you also might not even remotely understand what I'm talking about or feeling in this post. You might think you do, but you might really not. One day like 7 years from now, it'll all click to you and you'll flash back to this moment. Haha, I really have no idea buuut please keep an open understanding mind while reading this. It's okay if you don't really understand though playa.

Lately, I've been obsessed with change. Once upon a time, in my younger days, change was looked at as a negative thing. I seriously can't believe that I used to hate change. Now more than ever, my goodness do I need change. I just want to note before I go on that this post is pretty personal. It is going to be shared but its main purpose isn't for others to see (in a way that it's not like a YouTube video of mine, which I produce specifically for the public to see), but I know someone out there will read it and that's completely fine. When I write these posts, I'm mainly just letting out something I've been thinking about. So yeah, this post in particular is a pretty personal one. It has a lot to do with my mind, change, my personal journey and growth. So now, I shall continue...

Change is healthy. I'm constantly changing, growing, and becoming better. I've been afflicted with pain, which at one point was so negative, but pain is something that contributes greatly to my growth and change. Life goes on, and with that comes change. Alhamdulillah.

I graduated high school in January of this year. I had about 4 months of "free time" until I had my graduation ceremony. It was last weekend (June 7, 2014) and a lot hit me around that time. I knew that with those 4 months, I still had some attachment/connection to high school and I was excited for that to be broken after the school year was over, but with that came a lot of realizations. I look back on the 4 months, and a lot happened. I'm really not for sure if I accomplished exactly what I wanted to accomplish in that time, but I didn't just do nothing. But, with what I did do, I'm not exactly satisfied.
I must be honest with myself: I have some bad habits. Procrastination and laziness are some, but the laziness isn't really as bad as the procrastination.
I'm beyond fed up with absolutely everything.
It's time for a really big change in my life.
Sometimes I just want to leave. I want to go somewhere far far away, like the beach or something, and live there and just think. But I guess that could be my problem. I think way too much. I think today, plan to do tomorrow, and tomorrow never comes. I'm not going to run away from my reality. 

I'm proud of myself. I really am. I've come such a long way from a year ago. I've overcome a lot. I've worked hard. I've grown oh so much and I'm so grateful for that. But now, I need a bigger change. I'm actually expecting a huge change soon insha'Allah, but I can't wait for that time to go by without changing myself even more. I crave this particular kind of change. I need to drop all bad habits, and most importantly, I need to be mindful of what truly matters in life.

Tip: Always put yourself first. No one is going to put you before themselves. No one is going to stop their life for you. No one will stress over you. No one will put you on a pedestal. So do it for yourself. Know your value. Don't waste your time. 

Something that I want to touch base on is that, just as I mentioned before, I've realized a lot since graduating with my class of 2014. I've been graduated for four months before the graduation of the rest of my class and it really hit me hard a few days/the day of the graduation. There were also some things even before the entire graduation that I learned and noticed, but they became more surreal as I was getting closer to the graduation ceremony. Graduating with the rest of my class was a bit of a wake up call. I used to always think that once I'm in the real world, everything will be fine and dandy, but little did I actually realize that that's when I'll be working my hardest. Like from the time that I am a working woman again, and for the rest of my life, I will never stop working. It's kind of scary to think about but I'm ready. I'll always be working in one way or another regardless.
Also, graduating pushes me to move on with my life. I mean, obviously that's inevitable. It just has to happen. But I mean it in more than just one way. I mean it in every way. I must completely move on with my life and I must leave this chapter behind. The me that I am right now, I will never be this again past this moment. I kind of wish that I would've cherished everything a tad bit more, but alhamdulillah. I've lived, and boy have I learned. I must move on because I've learned enough in order to. I must move on because bigger and better are calling my name. I must move on because it is not fair, nor is it healthy for me to be stuck here. It's scary in so many ways. I never even imagined being here right now and having to face this point in my life. Moving on is the hardest part of anything, and here I am forcing myself to do so. I don't belong in one place for a long time. Especially not on this Earth. I am meant to go out and explore and work and improve, grow, see, love, breathe, LIVE. So in a way, with the rest of what you're about to read, I am leaving this me behind forever and moving on with my life. I've learned that I truly have no one but Allah. That's Who I'll always only have. I must do this for myself but more importantly for Him. A part of moving forward is moving closer to Jannah, and that's what I hope/plan to do insha'Allah. I guess I needed that little extra push and shove that the realization of leaving high school for good gave me. Alhamdulillah always! Everything that has ever happened has been for a reason, and I'm so grateful for it all.

So... Here I am. I am challenging myself in a number of ways. I'm forever changing. I will never stay the same. I'm a billion types of me's, and right here right now I'm this me. But this won't last long. I'm challenging myself to over all, change my mindset. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that I have a bad mindset now, but I need to evolve in a great way so that I can be much more satisfied with myself. I just feel like I'm not doing enough, and the truth of the matter is, that I'm not. At all.

Changing my mindset:
This could mean so so so many things. I could do thousands upon thousands of things to change my mindset, but I'm starting with the basics for now. I think.

• Put God first.
• Put myself next.
• Not wasting my time. That is the absolute easiest thing in the world. It's so horrible. :( So, I challenge myself to always be doing something beneficial. I'm always doing something now, but it's not always beneficial.
• Read much more! I have so many books and things that I need to read/finish reading that I keep putting off. I love to read and I need to get back to it full force.
• Express myself in larger ways. (ie. writing a ton more. artistically expressing myself. expressing myself especially through my favorite medium, which is video.

I just want to be a better, much wiser, version of myself.

Changing my lifestyle:

This could also mean so many things because it's such a huge and relevant thing in people's lives, their lifestyle. For me, this means so many things. It is so imperative to change my lifestyle in order to become better and in order to be much happier.

• Stop the procrastination. Point blank period.
• Incorporate fitness and exercise into my everyday life. 
• Eat healthier foods so that I feel better and more energized.
• Sleep earlier, although it's summer time. Who really cares?!
• WORK HARDER. ON EVERYTHING. ALWAYS.

I need to become the person that I want to be with. (Yes, I do mean relationship wise, although that is not something that I am focusing on at the moment. What I mean about becoming them is that if I start to carry the traits that I would want in a man, I won't feel the need to have that man, if that makes any sense? I mean I don't really feel the need to have any man at this point in my life. But if I want a man with certain qualities, I should probably work on those qualities within myself, ya feel me? Again, this isn't a way for me to attract a man, nor do I feel the need to have a man, etc etc.)

There are just so many things that I need to work on with myself internally and externally. I'll be posting a video about this soon insha'Allah. I plan on vlogging all of this stuff hopefully! 

To tie in the title, "This is YOUR Moment," I just want to say that this my moment to focus on myself and to become the person that I want to be. No distractions. No excuses. Nada. This is all about my personal health, my heart, body, and soul. Come along for this journey with me.

Also, I might come back to this and add more stuff to it because I'm not really thinking completely clearly and organized right now which I need to work on as well. There should most likely be some follow up posts on this. I'll let you know how it is as I progress.

I can't wait to see where this journey leads me, and I can't wait to be the person I am meant to be next. Insha'Allah.

Thanks for reading. 

Made To Love

I bet you already kinda think you know what this is going to be about, huh? Set all of your thoughts aside and indulge in mine. 

I really don't think anything in the world could ever make me stop loving. Ever since I was a smaller me, I've always had a big heart. (I've also always been a bit emotional) I feel what is intended for me to feel. I've smiled when something was smile worthy. If I see someone hurt, I feel the pain for them. I can relate to a lot of people even if I haven't experienced what they have. I've been blessed with the ability to just understand. No matter what it is, I'm able to listen, relate, and advise if needed. I used to think everyone was like this. I learned the hard way, but alhamdulillah I'm so incredibly grateful to have this quality. 

I've experienced a good amount of emotions (possibly all emotions) in my life. I've experienced happiness, anger, sadness, and really deep hurt. What always stands out is the pain, the sadness, the hurt, and I guess you don't really "remember" the happiness as much as you remember the "negative" feelings. When you feel the "negative" emotions, tragedy strikes your life. Your entire world is shaken. Sometimes we do this really unhealthy thing where we hold on to that pain and that hurt even though it does absolutely nothing for us. It harms us more than we ever allow ourselves to be healed while carrying that burden with us. Once we realize this, we must do what we know we must do. If you're reading this and you know that you're holding on to the hurt or holding a grudge, please do yourself a favor and free yourself of it. Let it go. Make yourself better. Allow yourself to heal. Face it, whatever is/was hurting you, then let it go. I've been there, done that. You are the one that is in control of your emotions, choose which ones you want to feel and which ones you don't want to feel. 

Anyways, ever since I was born basically, I've been around negativity. I was just put in situations and environments that weren't at all healthy for anyone involved. As I started to understand, I was filled with anger, even at a super young age. I never let that anger take over me, nor was it ever an excuse for anything, but it kept getting bigger and bigger towards the people involved. What I've experienced could've totally traumatized me. It could've ruined my chances in the future and I could've huffed and puffed about situations that I really had no control over. The worst case scenario is that today, I could still hold that anger and those grudges against those people. 

What's even worse is, what if my faith in love and my ability to love was long gone? I think it could've been possible. Maybe I'd have to learn how to love again and how to let people in or to even care enough about others. 

In my last post, I wrote a little about loving those who are deserving of your love, and in that, I meant the relationship kind of love. The main type of love that I speak of isn't the relationship kind of love. It's the love that I share with the world and the people in it. Love doesn't always have to be expressed in the words "I love you." It can be kept to yourself and felt in your heart. It can be a smile, the look you give someone, a simple prayer for someone, or even a really genuine and nice thought about someone. It can be recognizing someone's most powerful traits, or the beauty that their eyes hold. 

I can't help but love. I can't help but to see the good in good people. I can't help but to see what everyone can offer. I can't help but to believe in people. I can't help but want to help you, guide you, comfort you, and show some type of love towards you. I love loving. I love caring. 

I used to hate that I cared so much about so much. I haaaated that I had so many feelings. I hated that I felt so deep the most. When I'm hurt emotionally, I can feel that pain to the core of my soul. I saw it as something that was weak, and many people probably still think that it's a sign of weakness, but I couldn't disagree more. It just means that I feel. I'm human. You're human. And when you feel, I feel with you. That right there, that's love. 

I can become an emotional mess, but that too has love at its roots. But it's not until recently that I realized that one of the best things about me is my ability to love. When I love, I love hard and whole heartedly. Every atom of my being is put into the extra strength super glue that is love. 

The extraordinary John Legend once sang, "we were made to love."

Some people might say that the entire point of us being here is to love. To share love, to make love, to raise love, and most importantly, to feel love. I believe I'm one of those people that is here to make you feel it. Whoever you are, no matter what race or religion you are, no matter your interests, no matter how much we have in common or how opposite we are, and no matter what situations you have faced, are facing, and will face in life. I can love you just by looking at you and seeing some type of beauty glowing inside of you. 

One of the reasons I'm here is to love you. I love good people. I love people that share knowledge with others. I love people who help others. I love those with good intentions. 

I probably love you. Probably. 

I, Amy Ali, was made to love. 

Dear World: Internal Struggle

Dear World,

First off, Assalamu Alaikum. 

I've been itching to write to you for a while now. My mind explodes with different topics to write about, and today I decided to write about internal struggle. My internal struggle. As we may know, I do prefer to make videos, giving a voice and emotion to my words, but sometimes I really need to write out my thoughts to get them all out successfully. Nonetheless, I do plan on making a video about this soon so stay tuned to http://www.youtube.com/glambyheart 

YOUR INTERNAL STRUGGLE IS NOT GREATER THAN YOU ARE.

The past 6-ish years of my life have been eventful to say the least. Every year since then has sculpted the person I am today. In the past two years, my life has absolutely boomed. My internal growth has sky rocketed. I am not the same person I was a year ago, or even a month ago, alhamdulillah. With growth, the increase of knowledge, experience, and everything else, comes awareness. I've learned so much about life and myself and with that, I've been exposed to all the brutal truth in the world. 

"You see world, you're no good." ~J. Cole

I couldn't agree more. The world and the people on it have a lot to do with my internal struggle. We are affected by everything, and we affect each other more than anything. (I really feel like I don't know where I'm going with this right now, but I'll get there.) Needless to say, not everything in the world is bad. Not everyone is no good. If it was, I wouldn't have grown the way that I did and we'd all be doomed. In order to know bad, one must know good. 

I do recognize that in the past two years in particular, I have faced the most pain and hurt and in turn, that is what resulted in my growth, as well as just coming across good people who have that kind of affect on others and have the power to actually help others grow, unknowingly most of the time. 

I've experienced the most internal struggle in the past year of my life. I remember this time last year. I was working two jobs, a junior in high school, and I didn't really feel as connected to my Creator as I wanted to be. But, I began to strive for what I wanted. I did what I had to do to, and I got where I wanted to be, but what I was missing was the strength. I did get to the level of faith that I wanted to be at the time. I achieved my goal, I even made a YouTube video about it. I've always been a fairly strong person internally, but I am a human being and I do feel what is intended for me to feel. I just got weak when people I cared about were against me. I got weaker and weaker, and I didn't understand that it was all a test. I started to slip, quick sand was under my feet and I didn't fight. I didn't budge. I sank. But alhamdulillah, everything happens for a reason, and today's a new day.

I've always been an impatient person. That's who I was. I had worldly desires in my heart, and feeding those desires could've absolutely ruined me, but alhamdulillah they didn't. Right now, I'm kind of holding back. I honestly can't be completely honest and I can't let absolutely everything out just yet. 

I'm not sorry that my thoughts are so scattered. I've wanted to write about this for so long, and maybe I'm not at the right point to write about this just yet. Regardless, I'm going to continue.

One of the hardest things one can do is give themselves up. Have you ever made rules for yourself? How about when you were younger? Did you ever see someone make a mistake and then say that you're never going to do that? I have. Plenty of times. And sometimes, I didn't quite know what I was talking about. But other times, I knew right from wrong and I understood. 

Have you ever fully expressed yourself to someone? 

Yes? So you know who you can trust, or you think you know. Have you ever poured your entire heart out, or said how you truly felt, and have you thought about what a gamble it was to do? You see, human beings can be the absolute best and the absolute worst. We have so much power in our hands. We can break people, we can build people, we can build them and break in a matter of seconds. As you said how you really felt, did the thought of it going all wrong ever cross your mind? Even for a split second? Has it gone wrong? Yet?

No? So you don't trust easily. You have walls built up. You won't dare let anyone in. They can't even climb them because that's how high you've built them. You aren't able to take that risk. 

I feel like both of those things can be good and bad things. I'd much rather be the yes kind. Maybe. I've been the yes kind. And I never thought I would've experienced what I have. I never thought I'd be right here. During the time of fully pouring my heart out and even during the aftermath, those times were the best and the worst. I've built myself up with the help of others, and I've been broken down with the help of those people. My internal struggle (or the continuance of that) got better and then got worse in a matter of milli seconds. (Just a thought; I'm kinda pouring my heart out right now, aren't I? I pour my heart out in videos. I like pouring my heart out.) 

Anyways, listen up. I wouldn't want to be anyone other than the person I am right now. (I am aware that I'm forever growing and changing, and I won't be the same person in a week, but that'll be the better version of me.) I've overcome the majority of my internal struggle. I know I'm not perfect. I accept myself. I love myself. It took a lot to get here, and a lot of people have helped me, the majority of them don't know that they've helped me though. I don't want to be anyone else. I love me. I love my craft. I love my face. I love my body. I've been blessed tremendously. Within all the bad situations, NOTHING but good has come out of them.

One year later, I'm the best person I've ever been thus far. Alhamdulillah for everything that has happened. It took a whole lot of GOD, a lot of love, a lot of being proved wrong, a lot of pain, a lot of tears, plenty of smiles, and a positive mindset. 

Everyday, everything inside of me fluctuates. My thoughts are everywhere. Sometimes I love everything and everyone, and other times I hate everything and everyone. But what you must do is remind yourself. Remind yourself of all the good. Remind yourself that this is only temporary. Remind yourself that everything happens for a reason. Remind yourself that you must remain patient. Trust God's plan. Pray for what's best. Let go of your desires. Make your own dreams come true. Love everyone but deeply love those deserving of your love. Give, don't expect anything in return.

I hope that one day you find happiness, freedom, and everything else you pray for. You'll get through it. You will. 

Stay tuned for many more blog posts about life. Welcome to my journey. 

Assalamu Alaikum. 

My Dream House(s)

(I should be studying but this is a way for me to let off some steam, i'll study, eventually.) 

I've always had a "dream house" in mind. Through the years, it has changed over and over again. Although I am (soon to be) an adult, and a lot of my interests are becoming more and more set, and I'm getting closer to my dreams, etcetera, I think that my ideas for dream house(s) will be set for a while. 

I used to want to live in a big city. New York City to be exact. Those dreams were put to rest when I finally realized how expensive that will be. The cost of a tiny apartment in NYC = the cost of a 4 bedroom house in Texas. I don't want to be limited and also, I don't want to have a financial strain for something I'm not happy with. Maybe one day when I make it big, I'll consider investing in a home in NY, but for now, I'm a lot more level headed. 

I have leaped in love with nature. I absolutely love it. The fact that it is so beautiful without being touched by man's hands, Subhan'Allah. Nature is where I find my peace and where I see so much art. The beauty is immeasurable. I'm very into relaxation and I'm soon to be a meditation queen. I'd love to live in a place that I can be myself, do what I love, and be at peace. So, here are some of my dream house(s)/locations to live. Please keep in mind that these are definitely realistic if I try hard enough, but at the same time I don't really really want these exact houses. I'm definitely fine with down sizing a whole lot! Haha. Also keep in mind that I don't/won't depend on my future husband to get me a house like these. Hahah, if i want it, I'LL get it. 

I'd love to live in a lodge house. I've always loved the snow, and I haven't really lived in the snow but I still love it. Lodge homes are absolutely beautiful. They remind me of holidays and I feel like a lot of amazing memories would be made in one. 

So the beach is one of my favorite places ever. When I'm at the beach, I feel most at peace. I feel at home and I never want to leave. If I could wake up, walk to my backyard and be at the beach, I'd forever  be happy. Everything about the beach makes me happy. Except the hurricanes of course, haha. 

Just a day away...

In actuality, it's only 13 hours away. 

Here I sit in my teacher's aide class, at 11 a.m. thinking about one of the most bittersweet days yet. My last day of high school could quite possibly be tomorrow. (Insha'Allah it is) 

About a week or two after my Senior year of high school started, I decided that I wanted to graduate high school a semester early. I'd get to participate in the football season senior activities, so that was good, and I wouldn't come to school for the second semester, except for senior activities at the end of the year, and that sounded even better! I mean, you wants to go to school for 5 extra months?! Not me! I spoke to my counselor and he told me my options and I just went with it. I've had to basically not have a life since senior year started, which is fine since I'd rather have a life and not be in school rather than be in school and have a life. 

I've been working so hard towards this goal and I'm not finished yet. I still have a little while to go to finish a class but I'm determined and motivated to get the rest of it done this weekend insha'Allah. 

That would mean I'd come to school the day after I finish and I'd graduate that morning. The excitement is real! Who wouldn't love that?! This is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is kind of sad that I'm cutting my senior year short but I'm not into being in school for much longer. To be honest, I originally hated the new administration and the strictness of the district MY SENIOR YEAR. I guess seeing all the people around me and everything that happens here everyday is motivation to get out of it. Haha. 

Although I will not miss the classes, and I won't miss very many people or teachers (very few of both) I will miss being in high school, eventually. For now, I'm just going to enjoy my last hours of high school, then I shall enjoy the MONTHS of freedom that I will gladly take. Insha'Allah. 

There's so much for me to come and I'm so excited for the year to TRULY unravel. 2014, the new year, will truly start when I'm graduated. I have so many plans that I'm beyond excited for. Insha'Allah everything works out for everyone. 

My excitement is through the roof! Wouldn't have been able to do any of this without Allah SWT. Alhamdulillah. ❤

Mic Check 1 2...

Assalamu Alaikum all! 

It surely has been a while, but to be completely honest, I knew I wouldn't regularly post on my blog. My apologies, but sometimes life leads you in different directions. 

2014 has begun, and I won't promise a thing. I can't promise to post every day, although I'd love to, mainly because I'm not promised every day, and a girl gets busy sometimes. 

So, lets do a recap of 2013, shall we? 

(Btw, this is the closest thing I have to making a video, so until I have time to sit down and film/edit/upload a formal/informative video, I shall blog. Hope you don't mind reading.) 

The year two-thousand-thirteen; 

So many things have happened. This has probably been the best, most life changing year of my life. 

•I've grown way closer to so many people, and it feels like we've been this close for years. I'm so thankful for the people that have entered my life in different ways this year. Don't know who I'd be today without the impact that they've had on my life. Alhamdulillah. 

•On the contrary, I've shed many people from my life. I'd like to call them "friends that I never knew". Alhamdulillah. I'd like to think that fits them perfectly. I don't mean that in a negative, mean, malicious way either. I think a huge part of that has to do with myself. I'll get more into detail with that (or not) in a bit. Once again, Alhamdulillah. 

•I made my best "material" purchase ever this year. Alhamdulillah it was made possible for me. 

•Well, I've almost completely changed I would say. The biggest change has been mentally and spiritually. That makes up who I am more than anything. I'm so thankful for that and a lot of it is due to the people Allah has brought into my life. All of the right people I would like to think. 

Alhamdulillah. 

•I've become more positive, stronger, more hard working, less lazy, smarter, and wiser. The list goes on and on. Alhamdulillah.

•Last but certainly not least, I've made so many plans for projects and a lot more things!!! I can't wait to reveal those to y'all when the time is right. 2014 will insha'Allah be the best year of my life thus far. So many life changing events will be taking place. Stay tuned!!! 

I wish you the best, always. ❤
