from Hanan's blog:

also i told my friend that although i was going through some interesting things doesn't mean she has to compare her situations to mine. she is a warrior just like me. we are both fighting battles. different battles in the same war. that God knows what each of us can handle through Him. and that just because her dads not a muslim and she doesn't have a lil bro that has a disablity and her mom hasn't been in a 'special' unit in the hospital doesn't mean that she is not going through a hard time. she is allowed to hurt. we all are. we all have problems. not the same ones but yes issues we are going through. we are all warriors fighting different battles. just because your battle isn't the same battle im figthing doesn't mean im 'stronger' than you or your strong than me....urgh lost train of thought sorry....

now in my own words.... everybody hurts.... and i can't believe i've felt guilty about my blessings for so long....

what time is it?
time to move on and start fresh. time to be at peace.. time to grow up... time to pray. i've withheld from God... i've been stuck in my own muddy pain. time to let go. time to let go... time to graduate. i never really graduated, i always thought this was a long summer break, and we'd all come back and share how our summers went. then we'd have lunch and laugh and be a united group again.

time to graduate.

i should have listened the first time, but i guess this time it's for real. and my life holds so many adventures in its hands......
