Bismillahirahmanirahim.
Hi there! At an age where I am still undecided of the person I am and also the person I aspire to become, I've decided to start blogging again, to document my journey towards well-being. You see, lately I've been thinking of dawning a Hiijaab, not to please anyone or to follow trends but because- I guess you can say I have come to a point of realization. I am a growing girl and I am aware of my duties as a Muslim. I come from a good-natured family, one that has never oppressed me into anything I refuse without my consent (Alhamdulillah!). I promised my mother to only dawn the Hijaab when I am absolutely positively sure that I am ready as a Muslim woman and once I put it on, I will not take it off.

As of now, I am me. I like to wear skirts and because of that, covering my Aurah may be a difficult task to perform (InsyaAllah, nothing is impossible). I can be loud at times. I've got a boyfriend. I like to get my hair done. I find it difficult to bring myself to pray five times a day (I am not proud of it). I mingle around a lot and I am not as pristine as I'd like others to think I am. I'd be lying if I told you I have not sinned.

Please note that I still have yet to dawn a Hijaab but in this blog, I will submit entries of my progress in becoming a better woman, a collection of quotes, Hadith & Sunnah I have gathered to encourage myself, and rants (Pardon me!). I have no clue when my time will come to put on a Hijaab. It could be months and maybe even years from now, but I like the idea of keeping track so next time, when I'm close to giving up, I can look back at my posts and remind myself how far I have gone to become a better person.

I hope you enjoy reading my five cents :) Peace be upon you!
