(This post was written in November, 2021) May 2021 ‘She is no more’ read the first text I read as soon as I woke up on a Friday morning. I was numb. I thought I read the text wrong. I ran to my husband to make sense of the message. He sadly said me the text means exactly what I understood it as. Numb again! It has been 7+ months since then.. …since I lost an old friend/ roommate of mine. I often process my grief and sorrow through words. But I could not write this down. Because expressing it in words would mean acceptance. Acceptance was hard. Being numb to it was easier. Believing she was the ..read more

(Due to the recent discussions on social media, I have thought long and hard about updating this post. I did not want to create something that would be considered as ‘Ramadan fluff content’ – something that doesn’t end up becoming beneficial. Finally decided to update it since the Bullet Journal method has helped me a lot personally the past few months in being systematic and having a routine. So hoping the Ramadan Journal will benefit in the same way. Insha’Allah) I came across the Bullet Journal Method at the beginning of the year and It has been life-altering for me. Often I have lists to d ..read more
