{ Only Allah knows the full benefits of seclusion, for in seclusion, one’s mind develops, views are ripened, the heart finds repose, and one finds himself to be in an ideal atmosphere for worship. By remaining isolated at times, one distances himself from trails, from flattering the person who deserves no praise, and from the eyes of the proud and the follies of the idiot. In isolation, one’s faults, deeds and sayings are all secluded behind a veil.

During periods of isolation, one is able to delve deep into a sea of ideas abd concepts. In such a state, the mind is free from its opinions. Isolated from the company of others, the soul is free to achieve a state to rapture and to hunt for the stimulating thought.  

When alone, one does nothing for show or ostentation, since none but Allah sees him, and since none but Allah hears him….}

My! it's been ages since I've last updated.. I can see spider webs all over the place with dust on the corner of the pics.. oh and not to mention the spider that's hanging on the teddy bear's pink nose!

I've been busy to the top of my head & running around like a chicken!.. i haven't seen my family nor my friends from quite a while! my social life is revolved around only the ppl i see almost daily, what a deadly social life i have! ( it ain't new to dxbgirl)... but honestly? I've come across many people who are quite interesting to know and talk with, i think it's very healthy to have conversations with such intelligent & knowledgeable people even if the age gap is noticeable...

In my free time before classes i manage to catch an hour to read through Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley.. this novel isn't as good as Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind , but I am still enjoying it to the bits... I can't help not to remember the 1st book and all the events that were quite thrilling, Scarlett is such a strange character! am always curious to read further &  honestly, i can't stop skipping a couple of lines to make sure that i guessed right that the next couple of paragraphs will have Rhett Butler in them! lool hehe .. but I do go back & read the lines i skip miracle :P .... btw, i bet scarlett's a scorpion.. wink .. i can't wait to finish it, i looooove crossing a book from my MUST READ list...

{ if you can't be true & open to others, be true to yourself.. admit things to yourself even if u know that in million years you would never let a certain fact cross your brain's border .. have a private monologue from time to time, for it'll make you understand your goals, desires & more than you can ever realize....  }

Could dreams possibly be a kind of telepathy between two living souls? & could it be normal for those two souls to have many similar dreams in a way from time to time?... I do not know nor understand but I do feel special about it .. :)

now that you all know that I am still alive and breathing, have a great weekend everyone & good luck with your studies!
