365 Days

Today is a more remarkable day than the past 364 days. Coincidentally, today is not only the first day of Eid, but also the first year anniversary of my blog. October 15 2012 was the day I created this blog, and posted my first blog post.

This is a general thank you to anyone who has come to read, share, or comment on my posts. There were weeks where I didn't receive any page views, and there were times I couldn't summon up the will to write. I went through unimaginative phases and short-lived enthusiasm bursts. I conducted social experiments, and ranted about politics. But at the end of the day, there were always people who helped me continue and who convinced me to keep writing.

In the upcoming 365 days, I will keep writing insightful posts, update you on interesting books, and finish my Lexicon! posts. I hope you enjoy reading them and think about some of the issues I try to raise.

I have compiled my 10 pride posts from this year. I think they are a pretty good representation of how and what I blog. Leave me feedback if you can, and I will love you forever.
  1. I.Am.The.Change (My most inspired and determined post, read this if you don't read anything else)
  2. a.theist (My analysis and take on coexisting)
  3. The Chrysalis Mystery (My biggest problem as a teenager)
  4. Stand Up (Empowerment and encouragement)
