@dede_mviw: Happy birthday to myself. Thank you for making it this far. Thank you for every tear that quietly turned into strength, and for the prayers I continue to strive for. In this new year of my life, may Allah bestow upon me health, happiness, and a lawful, blessed livelihood—and may He grant my best hopes and wishes. *Bismillah*—to becoming a better person than I was yesterday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
