picture in my mind

This is a happy post, on a happy night! 

just to remind and prove to myself, 

the constant ups and downs of life -- 

they are to be expected.

And when life dips into a valley, for sure,

a peak is up ahead, insya Allah.

Had a nice meet-up with J, that culminated with a nice heart-to-heart chat at the end of the night. 

And I am remembering beautiful, awesome, funny things to be thankful for.

Like the time I was trying to figure out what a phrase meant 

whilst reading HP in Arabic

cause I really just couldn't find the root verb --

only to discover it translated to Viktor Krum! HAHA.

And the time I marveled at my class for being so awesome

and the best support system I could imagine

as a growing professional in my field

and this is 3 years out of school.

GOD I LOVE MY CLASS SO MUCH

AND WE NEED TO HAVE A MEET-UP BADLY

My family indulging ourselves in silly, private jokes

I can't even remember anymore how goose came to mean good! haha.

And Arashi putting a smile on my face!
