I'm proud of...
Pride, Greed and Jealousy kills a person from the inside. So, am I really proud of myself? No.

There are certain things I don't regret at all. For example, during annual sports days at school, I could never take part.Instead, I used to take part in singing or painting competitions. I used to be so sad, because I wanted to run in the races, or maybe take part in other activities which required physical involvement. But running was a daring dream for someone who couldn't even walk properly at that time. I still have to use a stick to walk, and maybe will continue to do so all throughout my life.

As a result, I used to sink into colors and music. Hobbies became addictions over time. Then when I learnt to write, I could pour my heart on paper. I'm happy that I'm addicted to creativity. I even have a few drug addicted friends, but creativity will keep me away from those, in-sha-Allah .

I searched for a meaning of life all the time. My family used to say, I was born to tie them all up in a single thread. I've been trying to do that ever since. My family has taught me to respect everyone, because if you truely love someone, you will be loved back. Maybe because of all the teachings, now the blue collar employees who work under me have become my brothers or aunts. Maybe that is the reason why I'm never scared when I go into my employer's room. He was a teacher since my early teens, now he's a two in one, both an employer and a teacher, with whom I can even share my lunch. I have an elder brother from a different religion as my boss. What more could I ask for?
I'd never regret taking a job at my current office.

Overall, as I always say, I am proud to be a Muslim woman. I'm religious, but not a bigot. I am proud of all my roles in my family. A daughter, a sister, a sister-in-law, and an aunt. Who said that to love a child, one had to be a mother? I've brought up all three of my brother's children, who are like my own. I'm proud to be in a joint family, and happy to know the value of relationships.

I'm glad to be a female. To some people, female might be the weaker gender. Maybe, males can go out and conquer the world, but dear boys, at the end of the day, you have to come back to us girls. Maybe to rant, maybe for a little comfort, or maybe you like to be cared for.

I always say one thing to everyone, you want me to be a shade for you, you'll get me. But if you begin to play with my emotions? I'll throw you out of my life, forever!
