I love exploring new places - sometimes that means picking up a new book, or it can be a road trip on the weekend. I love to read and learn about everything from science and politics to pop culture! I'm interested in minimalism, and I strive to live in a way that is pleasing to Allah every day. Deen is most important to me...I'd consider myself quite practicing, but I am still definitely a work-in-progress. My family is pretty close-knit - I have one younger sister, and many younger cousins. I can be embarrassingly optimistic (aka naive) sometimes, but it's easy to be when Allah has said, "I am as My slave thinks of Me."
