I definitely fall prey to the whole thinking-everyone-else-has-it thing. It's true, we sometimes forget that sometimes the key to not feeling alienated is to make sure the people around you don't feel alienated. Community starts with the individual. It's not about fitting in either--but more, feeling comfortable enough with yourself to be different if you are different. I appreciate your insight about this. I'm sure I'll see you running around like mad tomorrow, inshaaAllah. Maybe I'll just leave it at a quick wave, haha. It's always a comfort to see you in the halls of the law school, even if it's way across the way and you don't see me--hmm, promise I'm not stalking you, ha. I hope things settle down for you soon--I'm amazed at all you take on. May God reward you for all of your devoted efforts. love, Natasha Hi, Taiyyaba.
