Love, me.

Bismillah.

Dearest reader,

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you. This isn't a diary, nor is it a story. This is a book dedicated to the celebration of our lives. Of our blessings. Of our smiles and tears. You don't need to be a Muslim to read it, nor do you have to be a saint. 

Each part will be written as a letter. To who? It just depends. Each of us go through a different challenge in life, a different hardship. But we all have the same end goal- Paradise. Life isn't easy. It's an ocean of emotion, one that has waves of difficulty. We're all on our boats. We'll meet other sailors and learn the art of life from them.

Each person has something to teach us. Each blessing is a reminder. Each hardship is a test. 

Think. About those around you. Before you speak. Before you act. About the consequences. About the smiles. About the tears. Think.

Cry. Don't be afraid. Let it out. Swallow the tears. Breathe in the fresh air. Let it ache. Break your heart. Sob through the night. Cry.

Move on. Don't hold back. Pick yourself up. Think. Cry. But get up smiling. Never hold back. It may ache, but there will be beauty. Find it. Get up. Move on.

Love,

Me.
