Finally Mine

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know your my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
-Beyonce

Where did this come from? It's like a switch flipped inside me as soon as I signed those papers. All I could think was now he's mine, we're together now forever Inshallah. how awesome :) Alhamdulillah.

Mirror neurons

So humans have these funky little things in their brains that make them imitate others- monkey see, monkey do! Like if one person starts yawning, another might too after seeing the first. Or if one person starts crying on an emotionally charged day, they get others to cry too.

I never thought I’d cry over graduating from IBA but today, seeing all these adorable people around me, taking pictures, cheering on class pride, and eventually saying their good-bye’s and good-luck’s, it finally got to me. (And the person hugging me and crying on my shoulder didn’t help stop the tears either.) But leaving behind 4 awesome years of your life is not easy. We saw each other 6 days a week, completed horrible projects together, battled creepy teachers together, shared so much of ourselves with each other, but most of all became adults together. Now I know things will not be the same; it’s time to move on and it’s scary. But I wish you all the best and hope to stay in touch. It was an honor to get to know all of you. Class of 2011 forever! <3
