The Egyptian Dreamer.
My name is Dina.
I'm 20.
I'm Egyptian/American.
I moved to Morocco in December 2009 to embark upon a new life.
& I've learned more in my 19 months living here, than I could have ever hoped for :)

*Alhamdullilah ♡ for ♡ everything.

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together."
-Marilyn Monroe

Once you travel and get out of your current situation, you realize how minuscule all your problems, worry, stress really are.

Being stuck in a place for a long time you begin to conform to what’s going on around

you and put yourself in a box.

You forgot that there is a WORLD outside the WORLD you created for yourself and begin to miss the bigger picture.

Take a step outside of your comfort zone and experience a new side of life that you have secluded yourself from.

LIVE.


It’s been a couple of days since I wrote last….

Life has been surprisingly more busy, thank God.

Im counting down the days until I have to start studying for my make up exams.

Whoop-ee. -__________-

I really would love to breeze through it, but with Ramadan on its way, who knows.

Wish me luck <3

Hijab Tutorial #1 (BEST Everyday Hijab!) (by YazTheSpaz89)

This is my favorite everyday Hijab tutorial…

I haven’t worn it this way often because I usually just do a basic double wrap with a silk scarf & a silk under scarf.

I haven’t found any scarves like these here in Morocco. & this style I think is more accepted in places like the U.S. & U.K. & not so much here in Morocco. 

But once that i buy some, I think i’ll be wearing hijab this way more often :)

Adele - ”Someone Like You” (by Texhnician)

I heard this song & fell in love. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

Where ever you go, you always carry a piece of your family with you. If it is a trinket passed down to you, like a ring or a neckless, or if it is in your heart. It is your family that is by your side. Family is important, never forget that in the mist of sadness, pain, anger, there is always a chance for beauty. Never forget where you stand, where you come from, follow your heart, and most of all love your family. Cause in the end that is all you have. No matter if you fall in love, get married, have children of your own, always remember you have another family that will love you for who you are.

Love your parents, Cherish your grandparents, and befriend and love your siblings. Because I know I do. 

If you are a good person, you have good faith, you don&#8217;t lie, cheat, steal, kill. If you love your family and friends. If you always try and help people no matter the situation, circumstances, or conditions. &amp; if you are one of those people who never has an ulterior motive&#8230;. Then you sound about 95% better than MOST of the people that I have come across in my life. Don&#8217;t let anybody, lover, or friend, nit pick &amp; change you. If they don&#8217;t love you for all of the qualities listed above, if THAT isn&#8217;t enough, pfff &#8212;- they are NOT worth it.

This girl that I am hugging, is not the sweetest little cupcake, nor always my cup of tea. But when I need her most, at my darkest hour, she is there, (most of the time). There will never be a single person that will walk this earth that will take her place in my heart.  

&#8220;A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.&#8221;
i love you.
