Letter #4 - Life is Tough, But so are You

Dear readers,

All of us live different lives, no two lives are the same. Sure you could be going through similar things but the outcome is different sometimes; However, more importantly the journey is always different. Everyone is fighting a battle, some which are visible to the human eye while a lot of them are not. You never know what anyone is going through as you are not them. In reality we're all fighting different battles daily. The battles we face can be physical or mental, just because you do not see, doesn't mean that it isn't there.

We all face challenges, some which are easier to overcome than others. In the end we all get through them and continue to fight our way through it to the next one, no matter how long each one takes, or how tough the situation. But all battles don't last forever. Sometimes, the end of a battle can be a light of sort, helping you out of darkness. In some cases, it can be the light at the end of the tunnel letting you know that you’ve stride through it, whereas other times the light is someone helping you conquer your battle. Remember that even in the darkest of times there is light. If you've watched "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" then you may have heard the following quote; "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light." ~Albus Dumbledore.

Just because life gets tough at some points more than others, doesn't mean you stop trying; however, it’s a sign for you to keep fighting your way forwards because you are tougher than you think. Not always by yourself but the point is that you will not always come out with the same people you went in with, some peoples' battles happen to remove certain beings from their lives. All you have to do is move forward with what's left knowing that with each battle something is lost along the way but always replaced with something better, even if it takes a little longer to come your way

If your views on life are not positive, you cannot expect your life to be great. Without a positive mindset on life, in every new day, you cannot expect for you to have a great day with negative thoughts. I know we all have good days and bad days, but do not let the bad days make you see the world like that every day. Love the life you live, the people you are with along each part of your journey throughout all the different stages in life. For the good and the bad days, put a smile on your face, they help to soften the bad days and help them to be dealt with, without a full negative thought, as it allows you to see the good within the world.
Till next time ~Maryam

P.S. Hopefully in the future I won't have such long breaks in between blogs and I'll try and be more consistent. Also wanna give a S/O to Hanah Ahmed for helping me out SO much to publish this blog! Thank you my love <3

Letter #5: New Year New Me? (Pt. 2 - 2017 Version)

Image
2017. A year that went by in a blink of an eye, yet holds an endless amount of memories. Memories of instances that have changed you, built you, broken you, and in the end have made you rise. Instances that hurt us, humbled us, and brought us an immense amount of joy & happiness. I suppose you could say it was definitely a mixed bag. But along with all that 2017 was a year of discovery and realization. Many of us discovered that we're stronger than we could ever imagine. Realized the importance of life in self-love and self-appreciation. From your own perspective, discovered and realized that all the bruises and setbacks of life are only there to prepare you for the road ahead, shaping you into the most amazing version of yourself. When it comes to New Year Resolutions, I know quite a few people who go above and beyond with their resolutions. We all have goals and ambitions for the coming year and we should because if you stay consistent and keep at it you'll have some...

Letter #2: New Year New Me?

Dear all, I can't believe that this year has come to an end. It was certainly an interesting one. A lot of us may want to forget this year, while others' may want to remember this year, cherish it, and will likely miss it dearly. This year was filled with lots of happiness, heartbreak, positive & negative vibes...you could say it was definitely a mixed bag. 2016 definitely flew by, I think we can all agree on that note. This year had a way of taking everyone aback. It hurt us, humbled us, brought us happiness, joy, and so many other things. A lot of people I know say that 2016 was depressing and just damn hard. Hearing all of this, I realized that all this negative stuff about 2016 is kind of like a rumor. One person made a point and then suddenly it started spreading everywhere, like a fire. It spreaded up until the point where a majority of the world agrees on the fact that this year was just a horrible one. Sure, I agree with that...but this year has also helped us an...
