A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
Celebrating my younger cousin's birthday with my family in a large beautiful garden. It filled my heart with joy to watch the people I loved the most being happy and upbeat.

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
Scrolling through my Instagram feed and watching my friends attend their dream universities. It made me feel like I was falling behind, and it reminded me of my past university rejections.

I originally assumed:
I used to think….that not moving at the same pace of my peers, friends, and companions made me behind or in some cases, a failure or unsuccessful.
August 30, 2025
These assumptions are changing:
Now I sense…that we all follow different paths and make progress in different paces, which isn't a sign of failure, but actually a sign of growth.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Intentionally choosing to have grace on myself by letting go of the resentment, disappointment, and grief I had built up from my past university rejections.

Compassion
Engaged Empathy
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
Asmaa always asked questions that strongly resonated with my own questions, and this sparked a strong sense of relatability, because I felt I was able to understand many of her own experiences, thoughts, and questions on a deeper level.
