dansmesbras asked: I'm almost crying for joy, I am so so so happy and proud of you! :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful message, Fran. I swear, I really feel like I’ve turned a corner these last few days. The future is starting to make so much more sense that it has in weeks and months.
In sha Allah, all that will happen will be for the best. I’m sure I’ll keep writing about it so you can stay on top of it all :)

I’m a really cool person to be around at the moment…
for a very simple reason - I’m incredibly happy.
When I’m happy, I have this enthusiasm that just exudes from my being. I smile so easily and laugh wholeheartedly. I’m open and warm and friendly.
I have all these attributes that just get turned up to 10. I love being this way.
I have a whole lot to look forward to and am grateful for so much I have in my life right now.
I love being like this. I love giving myself to that feeling completely. I really feel I’m the best possible version of myself when I’m happy.
I don’t care if it’s going to last or not. I’m not thinking about any of those things right now. All I care about is the here and now and that’s perfect so I’m enjoying it and thanking Allah.
I’ll deal with that later when I have to.

Highlights of today…
My favourite thing from today so far has been an amazing gift I’ve received. It’s not an expensive gift or a difficult to prepare gift. Now that I think about it, I actually got two gifts.
The first is the gift of time. When a person is in a situation where it’s difficult to really make time, and they do… I really appreciate it. I appreciate it even more when I realise that it’s sometimes risky to make that time. Anyway, time was made and it filled me with joy.
The second gift, and this is the gift I really appreciated it, was the gift of laughter. I laughed harder today than I have in months. I laughed with my whole body and soul, not once or twice but so many times over. Some outstanding moments… my new wallpaper, love for Man Utd, Zac Efron, Jared Leto, Ian Somerhalder, and Xabi Alonso. Zac Efron’s grandson (OMG THIS WAS TOO FUNNY), 50 years in the future, Topless Tuesday (aaawwwww yyyeeeeaaaahhhhhhh), being gay/bisexual/feminine, hand gestures, pouting, and, the best for last, a new icon picture for my tumblr. I was crying with laughter.
I had to get it down to remember.

44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?
There always comes a moment when you realise you’ve been thinking about something way too much, that you’ve calculated all the odds, that you’ve crunched all the numbers, and you know you have to do. At that point you take the leap. The question that most of us ask is when does that moment actually come about? I can only talk about this question from personal experience.

This has to be the sexiest thing I’ve seen all day!

This picture totally sums up why and how I’m a Manchester United fan. The history, the legacy, the passion, and the philosophy of the club has been sown through generations.

My greatest love…
Love comes in so many forms. You can love people, things, situations, and feelings amongst so many other things. The human brain releases chemicals that make you feel good about things when you’re around them and makes you feel bad when you’re away from them. Love is, almost, like an addiction. You crave that raw emotion that hits you and its blend of euphoria. When thing don’t work out the despair you feel is catastrophic.
