2016

Next year, I will be better.

I will be a better daughter, a better sister, and a better friend.

I will be a better writer, a better reader, and a better cook. I will be a better Muslim and a better American (whatever that means!).

And I will do better, too. I will do better for others, do better at my job, and do better at explaining my eyebrows to people when they ask me.

So help me, next year I’ll be better!

(Inshallah...)
