till next year, 2017
Hello lovelies.
With the year coming to an end, it’s been my tradition to summarise my feelings and thoughts about the year. 2017 has been by far, the most gruelling year I’ve ever had to experience, with me losing too many damn times and me falling into that emotional rollercoaster again and again. This year has been chewing me up mentally, physically and emotionally. I’ve never had a year where I’ve cried too many tears and fought too many battles.
But even when I was dealing with hardships after another, I’ve always tried to see the positive side to things. My mum, my rock, has always been the one to tell us that we will always need to be strong and think positive because positivity is a very powerful weapon by itself.
If there’s one thing that I’ve learnt this year, it’s the bond that I have with my family. I’ve always been a family girl, prioritising my family over myself. After so many incidents, I’ve grown to love them even more than I’ve always have. I wish for nothing but health and happiness for my dad, my mum and my sister. I’d never want to lose them at all…
With the things that happened during the second half of this year, it made me realise that I too needed to become a better person. And so, I made the leap and started donning the hijab. Honestly, I’ve had thoughts before but I’ve never had the courage to don the hijab as I was scared. But now, I’m glad that I’ve gotten stronger and am so proud of donning the hijab. I feel so much happier now that I was before but of course, I am still learning to be a better person, and a better Muslim.
It’s been more than a year since working full-time and I’m glad to say that I’ve gotten the hang of my job. Being an adult has its perks and disadvantages, but what can I say…..life goes on. I’m super thankful for the bunch of people I call my friends, who has stick with me through this year. We may not meet as often as we do previously, but coming back to them feels like home. Love…….what can I say about love? I think I can safely say that I’m excited for what’s to come.
For the new year, I wish for happiness, health and love, for both me and you, reading this. For all the struggles that you’ll be facing, I hope that it’ll be bearable and please always have the strength to overcome it.
Goodbye 2017, I hope to god that 2018 wouldn’t be as tough as you.
With love, Haz x
