Ya Allaah! There is such a sweetness in sujood.

There are so many days when I just want to cry, days where I receive so many hateful stares and cruel words. All I can do is smile in return. I feel so alone here, like everyone I "have" is too preoccupied. My family is falling apart, and all I can do is watch from afar. And here I am, alone. Solitude is pleasant at times, but not when you feel alone in all you do. Not when you don't even feel needed in anyone's life. I think that's all a person truly wants, to feel needed and/or wanted. Just a friend to initiate a conversation, just a simple "I'm glad you are in my life," ect. Sure, people are busy, as am I. I guess I just want to feel like I can help people get through their days. I want someone to assist me, too. I just feel so empty some days like its hard to go on. It's challenging to smile or be happy everyday when you just feel like a bother to others. Some days I just want to give up. Some days I feel like I would better myself by immersing my mind in books rather than human connection. I can vicariously live through a character who is wanted, in turn satisfying a hole falsely. Maybe it's better than it not being satisfied at all. After all, Freud states that too much suppression leads to neurotic behavior. I need to read more as an English major anyway. Lesson for the day: books seem to be there for me when others are not.

And I really want to be productive today. #leggo #blackandwhite #selfie #productiveday

May Allaah guide me and keep my mind on the things which are most important. I complain about life, but I'm so happy with my life compared to a year ago. I need to look at the positive aspects of life, rather than complaining and only caring about myself. AlHamdilullah I am Muslim.

Ma sha'Allaah. I want to be the teacher providing for these kids.

Afghanistan. 2008.

Girls at school in Badakhshan province have no chair or tables. The German PRT built a new school for them and are thinking about providing them with furniture.
