18

Howdy!
Welcome to my Blog!

Where you end up is not the most important thing. It's the road that you take to get there. The road is what you'll look back at and call your life.

Yasirah, Lenient. My name is something that describes me perfectly, yet it is something that I question a lot. For me the meaning of lenient describes a person who is tolerant and shows mercy, yet I am forced to question whether this part of my identity is a positive factor or negative.

Like everything in this world, being 18 has it's advantages and disadvantages. For being 18 has made me see the world in a totally different light, albeit my journey has only started a few weeks ago. The trust that I have gained at 18 has enlightened me to the fact that with trust come responsibilities, Serious responsibilities.

'I looked at all friends, and did not find a better friend than safeguarding the Tongue. I thought about all dresses, but did not find a better dress than piety. I thought about all types of wealth but did not find a better wealth than contentment in little. I thought about all types of good deeds, but did not find a better deed than offering good advice. I looked at all types of sustenanace but did not find a better sustenance than patience.'
Hazrat Umar R'A

Being stuck within the world occasionally makes us all forget where we belong in reality.

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'un
Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return.

Join me, an average 18 year old girl on a mission to find the world that lies behind nothing other than a computer screen. I have made this blog with the intention of sharing thoughts that I stumble upon on a daily basis - after all we all need a friend to confide in! I hope I'A everyone out there finds this blog helpful. If there is anything in particular that you guys may want me to talk about, please mention it and I will try my best to do whatever is in my capacity.

As for now, see y'all later!!
