20 Ramadhan 1444H / 10 April 2023 dear Allah, 1. bismillah I guess the obvious first question is why write? & why write and publish this on a public platform, when You are the Lord of all creation, You are the All-Seeing and All-Hearing & not a single leaf falls or heart…

why? — The longest friendships I have right now started from 2005 and are as old as my little brother; 18 years now and counting. I intend to keep them forever, but who knows, really? All we really have is right now, and I am thankful for just that. And anyways, if…

i hope you’ll like this post, unless you don’t then wtv 🙄 — Wouldn’t it be nice if the world was happy? In the afterlife, I hope to playback the movie of my life from when I was born and figure out the exact moment it happened.

Watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix? Heard the phrase “if it’s free, then you’re the product”? But still maybe it’s worth stating clearly…

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم I have to thank Austin Kleon for making me do this. I’m reading his book Show Your Work! now, and I’m already convinced, so thanks a bunch Austin — here’s my first of daily published blog posts for the rest of the year inshaa Allah. I’m…

that’s me. Your favourite community Boy Wonder is too tired even to think of a good subtitle for this piece – that’s how you know it’s for realz. Maybe it’s old age catching up as I approach the end of my 20s. Maybe I ain’t immune to the microstresses of…
