Alhamdulillah

It has been 17 years and 3 months since the time when I was brought into this world and the fact that I'm still alive just got to me. So many people couldn't live past one hour in this world and I got to live for 17 years and 3 months surrounded by great people. Do you know how amazing that is and yet, I'm still not satisfied. It's hard to be satisfied with what you have in front of you because there's always something that you want. And however you try, if Allah is not in your thoughts you'll never even be close to being satisfied because satisfaction is being ready for Akhirat. 

الحمد لله‎

Wednesday was tennis day, and I'm starting to really enjoy it because we had our own dedicated coach. We focused on drills to improve our ball-handling skills because I still can't keep a rally going. Friday brought us badminton and a game of "7Wonders" at Meriam...

It's been 7 months since I started working but it feels like I just started yesterday. Minus the nervousness of going to work, anxiety of being around people and not knowing anything at all, of course. The first few months had been a journey for me and now that I've gotten through it, I don't really hold back on telling everyone I meet about it! It's very interesting to remember about how just a few months ago, I wouldn't go a single week without crying in the shower. And how I'd think ten thousand times before and after talking to anyone. How I would always be in this bubble of insecurities where I'm always thinking that everything I did was wrong. I wish I knew what had changed so I can tell all of you going through difficult times what it was but I really couldn't pin point it. But for all that matters, I love my life right now. I love the days when I'm able to sleep in for a bit longer in the morning but I also enjoy the days when I...
