2011: Year in Review

I can't believe we've gone through an entire year again. Alhamdulillah I survived, it was a rough year. I'm very optimistic that 2012 will be much better for me inshaAllah. I don't usually make new years resolutions because it's futile, I only make changes when I have the spontaneous urge to do so.

This year has seen quite a long of changes and struggles, for me and for millions of others.

I graduated from my undergraduate university. I started graduate school to get my masters. My desires for the future have completely changed and now include a PhD. I moved myself from Florida to Indiana and from Indiana to Delaware two months later. I've spent the majority of the year living absolutely alone. I've gained numerous friends all while losing my closest. I've had a couple broken hearts. I've gained and lost some weight. I discovered yet another failing organ.

And yet all these trials for me seem minuscule compared to what the citizens of other nations have had to endure. Arabs have fought and died for their freedom. Natural disasters have destroyed entire cities and livelihoods. Old leaders have been replaced with a glimmer of hope for the respective nation. What keeps me sane, however, is that for every bad, there seems to be some good that follows. Allah (swt) is just.

Anywho, here are my favorite outfit posts from each month throughout the year. This is my first full year of blogging, since I started halfway into 2010.





Thank you for all the support throughout the year!
