Introduction

In times of despair, when I have felt lost, and in moments where I couldn’t comprehend my own emotions, I found solace in penning down my thoughts.
I believe that a writer is created, not born. Writing is a skill that guides us on a journey of self-discovery, compelling us to interact deeply with our own thoughts.
A writer can be passionate, insightful, and empathetic. But a true writer possesses the power to reach straight into the heart of a reader—to make them feel and to keep their words alive. That is the writer I aspire to be.
I want readers to resonate with my emotions, to find courage to move forward, and to rediscover hope in moments of hopelessness. I aspire not only to save lives medically but also to heal emotionally, through words.

Prose 1

Dear Ammi,
You’re the guidance, the source of light preventing me from stumbling into darkness. The way you scold us like a typical mom, act stubborn like a little kid, take care of us like a loving mom, or tease us like a best friend – without all of this, our lives would be incomplete.

Some may believe that true love can only be found in romantic relationships, but for me, it will always be you. ….

Poem

As these thoughts keep her awake and she’s no longer able to hold back her tears,
A light of faith begins to penetrate her brain.
The darkness of her thoughts begins to fade away.
She reminds herself of her Creator’s mercy.
“Allah is there for you, He’ll always be there for you”, she hears a voice from within, soothing her than ever……

Prose 2

As my eyes were fixed on your still body, a flood of memories flashed before me; I’m sitting on a chair just beside you and we are having the most random beautiful conversations possible. …. And then you ask me, “Are you happy?” To which I say “How could I not be when you’re with me?”. I call you my best friend and you correct me, saying, “No, we aren’t just best friends. You’re more like a daughter to me” Those words are etched into my mind.
