Reminders of past failures

Ramadan is next month, if God so wills. I'm nervous. It seems like every Ramadan, all of the spiritual, religious aspirations I hope to fulfill during that time are not only not accomplished but I feel like I fail more horribly than I ever thought I would...

This Ramadan, and for the rest of my life, I would like to change my ways. I want to pray more regularly and whole-heartedly - always, if my Lord so wills. I want to practise writing and reading Arabic and understanding Qur'anic Arabic, inshaa Allah, and so many other things.

I am very tired right now, I would like to sleep but I must wait to make sure that my brother gets home safely from work. I hope to write more later, inshaa Allah. Let us pray that we all achieve our aspirations and may God increase us in knowledge and gratitude, if He so wills.
