TO LET GO

 2020 feels like a school trip which you reluctant to go but you are forced to...

You really want it to end quickly however when it is really the end of the trip --- you feel like you are about to miss something and the feeling of uncertainty hits you in the guts. This year has been rough and nothing but tough but it sure comes with tonnes of the lesson if and only if we are will to be humble and learn.

I personally learned a lot of things this year. From being a spoiled kid to an independent one, from a lone ranger, and now I am a wife. This year -Allah has tested me from every single angle and I can say this with a light heart now on the last year of 2020, I am eternally grateful that Allah has tested me that way.

I learned to appreciate small things, unseen gestures, and hidden hands that have helped me to go through those tests. Here are a few things that I learned this year.

1. Everyone has their own good side, it takes the right eyes(and heart) to see it.

2. We get nothing from assuming, ask when you do not know. 

3. It is okay to take a little bit of time before you respond to something. Impulsive responses are usually based on emotion.

4. Social media is a toxic place if we do not choose what you consume. Choose, we have the right as a consumer. 

5. Let go, forgive, learn, and forget --let go of the complicated things, the unused clothes, the painful memories, and disconnected relationship.

May Allah give us an opportunity to create a new memory and learn from our mistakes.

Social Media Detox

It was all started about a month ago, life was crazy at that time, one submission after another, school had a series of events before the academic year ended and I was freaking tired. To cut the story short, I randomly uninstalled my social media applications on my phone and dang I think I said it few months ago to go social media free by the end of this year. I haven't reached to that point yet, still scrolling down Twitter before I sleep but I am off Instagram and Facebook for quite some time already. There are times I feel like yknow reinstall those apps again but man my 24 years old brain cannot even remember the password. But LET ME TELL YOU I feel much calmer, less insecure and no unnecessary sakit kepala! Thanks to my forgetful mind, I stop checking on social media every 2 hours, scrolling down people's feed or timeline(whom I don't even know) and putting the pressure on myself (because I haven't achieved what people have). It's true lah afte...

MAK CIK SARIAH

My addmath teacher when I was in highschool told me "Be significant, wherever you go." My 16-year-old brain couldn't understand that of course, too young too dumb to realize. I thought what she meant was for me to be the best in whatever I do, be kind you know leave mark wherever I go. Just that, I couldn't see the impact of being significant. Well, that's not technically wrong, it's just I didn't understand the purpose of being significant at that time. Being me, I need reasons to do things. You need to tell me WHY before you ask me to DO.  Until one day I heard my favourite makcik kantin in my primary school passed away. She was one of the highlights during primary school - she put on a smile every time she saw me, she didn't have much but that didn't stop her from giving, best makcik kantin ever! That's when I realised - one of the importance of being significant in your life does not only for this world but for the hereafter, imagine...

Bismillah 2020 is equal to the year of a roller coaster  ride which always goes up. It’s like a movie where the rising action takes 2/3 of the storyline and I found myself countless time standing at the edge of a cliff and ready to jump. Until the day the man of my du’a shook Abah’s hand during our solemnisation. I wasn’t nervous that morning, I felt like watching the sunset by the beach while the wind calmly dancing on my skin. I wasn’t scared of the day that was about to end as if I was sure I would be accompanied by the moon. I am indeed yakeen, after years of being suffocated by uncertainty. 2020 isn’t that bad, yes my pain and nightmares do not just disappear into thin air when my husband stepped into my life but now Allah has lent me him to hold my hand every time those things haunt me. Telling me, he’s my person. Convincing me, there’s something Allah wants me to learn. Reminding me how much Allah loves me. I vividly remember Mir asked me why him? I said I don’t have THE EXA...
