Guys, I’m really happy. I don’t even know what it is, but for the past week or so, I’ve been so overjoyed, I can't even begin to explain it. I guess this isn’t a big deal per se, because I generally don’t consider myself emo or anything, alhamdulilah I have a pretty good life, and I have nothing to complain about.
But this is a different kind of happy. I feel like my heart is two sizes too small for the feelings it’s containing. I guess the whole Mubarak stepping down may have triggered it, but like, I dunno. I dunno!
I was praying Jum’ah (Friday prayer) at the Ghazaly Elementary school this past week and I was sitting there looking at all the little Muslimahs sitting around me in neat rows, with their clean white hijabs and navy blue jumpers and I just felt so powerful. When we stood up to pray and I noticed that the girls on either side of me barely came up to my elbows. And then we started praying and I didn’t realize I was crying until I felt the warm tears on my face. Wow, just writing this is making my throat get tight.
I wish I could just bottle up this feeling and keep it on the shelf for a rainy day.
Alhamdulilah!!!
