“Suomenlinna ain’t loud. But it speaks. soft n clear.”

-

We started early in d morn wid a dream,to hit a different destination,far frm d daily grind of our uni campus. And trust me, #Suomenlinna was it. As our ferry sliced through calm waters,it already felt like sheddin layers of stress....really! The island welcomed us like a page frm Shakespeare’s #TheTempest, the remote,wild yet full of quiet charm.I found myself slippin into Miranda’s shoes,nt waitin fr any shipwreck to bring a Ferdinand(lolz!) jussssst breathin in freedom...fully content in d now. No magic wands,no planned serendipity,yet I felt more blessed than #Miranda evr did. We picnicked under open skies, wandered through stone paths n laughed like kids unburdened...tbh. That fortress, those winds,d wide blue…they gave us more than a break,they gave us back our breath. I hdn’t planned a weekend like this before…bt I’ll be carryin dis one for a long,long tym,fr sure!🌊

Each day, my morning starts with it,sometimes in a glass, sometimes whirled into a smoothie wid strawberries,or whatever little joy I find in my fridge.That creamy blend? It’s more than breakfast. It’s comfort. It’s care. It’s a kind of memory stitched into taste. And somewhere in dat quiet, before d world wakes up properly,I think of Afghanistan.❤️ I wasn’t raised there,bt it runs in my veins, in my name, in d lullabies once hummed by women who waited at window.There’s this longing…nt loud, not tearful,bt consconstan A wish to walk d valleys of Bamyan one day.To see hw d sun climbs its mountains n hides behind them at dusk....To hear water giggle in its brooks, see d wind play wid wheat fields, feel d dust un...

 Today’s moot court…damn,it was somethin else.I walked in,heart poundin,papers in hand,mind buzzin wid arguments I hd rehearsed a thousand tyms,yet d nerves didn’t care.I was d appallin one,d one hu cud trip ovr words or freeze mid-sentence,bt somehow,today,d universe decided to surprise me.

N d rush,d thrill,d disbelief,it all hit me at once.Nvr d thought I’d be slippin into d boots of a lawyer,feelin dis strange, exhilaratin power of conviction n command.
