Hello lovelies,
          	
          	A few of you may have noticed that The Years Between Us disappeared a couple of days ago. I unpublished it because I wanted to go back and edit it properly. The story has always held a very special place in my heart because it is inspired by parts of my own life, and Mahrosh and Faris mean so much to me. They are genuinely some of the sweetest characters I have ever written.
          	
          	While revisiting the story, I ended up removing a few things and refining certain parts. Nothing too drastic though. The heart of the story remains exactly the same. The emotions, the journey, and the characters are all still there. I just wanted to make it the best version of itself.
          	
          	So if you decide to give it another chance, I would be incredibly grateful. It means more than you know.
          	
          	As for a little life update, today was my last exam! I think it went well, and I am feeling quite relieved to FINALLY have them over. They stretched on for an entire month this time around and trust me, it was exhausting. With summer break officially beginning, I am hoping to dedicate much more time to writing.
          	
          	That means you can expect updates for Just Us every other day, and if all goes according to plan, I am hoping to complete the story during this summer break.
          	
          	Thank you for all the love, support, comments, messages, and patience. Whether you've been here from the beginning or joined recently, I appreciate every single one of you.
          	
          	Lots of love,
          	Your author ♡

GIRLLLLL YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK! I nearly screamed when the years between us disappeared because I thought it was about to face the same fate as R&R  (Is R&R NEVER coming back? )
          
          ANYWAY IM DEFINETLY GONNA RAWDOGG THE NEW VERSION OF THE STORY

thanksforthetrauma

@uwugurlbro haha nooo it disappeared for barely two days for some slight editing and then came back. i don't think r&r will come back. most probably not. it did get quite a few hate comments, and the story was also written in an immature manner.

al taym is officially completed. i finished it today, and that feels so surreal to say.
          
          this story has been very close to me, and i genuinely think the last 2-3 chapters, especially the final snippets chapter, are some of my favorite things i’ve written. i really hope anyone who reads it falls in love with those last chapters the way i did while writing them.
          
          if anyone has been waiting to start it, now is the perfect time. it’s complete, finished, and ready to binge. al taym is a political romance at heart, with power, tension, love, loyalty, and all the emotions in between.
          
          one theme i’ve always wanted to explore more is politics. i got to touch on that in this story, even if not as deeply as i would have liked. i’m still very inexperienced and still learning, but i hope when i write future stories i’ll handle those themes even better. 
          
          also, little life update. my finals are starting from may 16th, so i’m extremely busy with studies these days. i was able to finish al taym because many chapters were already drafted earlier, but with just us, A LOT still needs to be written. and that story is going to be VERY, very long.
          
          so until then, al taym can keep everyone company.  i’ll most likely update just us more in summer break, though even summer will be busy for me. my first cie is in september, and i’m aiming for a distinction. my teachers are expecting a lot from me, and honestly, i’m expecting a lot from myself too. i know i can do it, but i need to work hard for it.
          
          life is busy, and it probably always will be, but i’ll still try to make time to write, even if it’s just half a chapter a day.
          
          thank you for every read, every vote, every comment, every bit of love. it means more than i can explain.

PTC days are such an experience.
          
          We started off by setting up classes according to seating charts. Then at 11, the mothers started coming in, & suddenly I was in full usher mode. Big smile on, “Assalamualaikum auntie, who would you like to meet?” on repeat. All the aunties were so sweet, and meeting my classmates’ moms felt like meeting upgraded versions of them. They're all so pretty, like lwk glowing.
          
          From 11 to 1, I was everywhere. Managing 2 rooms, helping in the whole corridor, guiding mothers, figuring out teachers for younger grades by staring way too hard at the seating chart. U can't even say no cuz they're so nice, and also it's your duty. Some teachers were so into conversations that I kept showing them the “time is up” sign, but they just wouldn't stop.
          
          Me & my friend had duties right next to each other, so we kept talking in between, even tho our legs & backs were actually dying. We were trying to keep our juniors in check too.
          
          Then came the best part. A 10 month old baby - my classmates sis. Im not even exaggerating when I say I fell in love. She was in the cutest pink outfit with a tiny hijab. When I picked her up, she literally curled into me & rested her head on my shoulder. I was completely gone. We were all fighting over who got to hold her, & her sister was just laughing at us. Mashallah, she's the sweetest baby ever.
          
          Somewhere in between all this chaos, we ordered food and drinks from zero degree. I had an iced caramel latte, and we had pancakes and all. We sat together trying to figure out which drink belonged to who because nothing was labelled, just chilling. Later, Ms Samia, whos the coolest ever, told us to grab whatever we wanted from the canteen & she'd pay. We didnt go crazy, obviously, but it felt nice.
          
          By the end, I was exhausted. Everything hurt. It might be one of my last PTCs as council, which is sad, but Im just really grateful for it all. The laughter, the people, & especially that adorable baby.

@MurderJacket_Rick everything is fun when you're with your friends. the exhausting part is the most true because i laid down after i came back and barely got up since then. my entire body aches from all the running around.
