"Certainly, We shall test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits; but give glad tidings to the patient - those who, when afflicted with calamity say, "Truly to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return." It is those who will be awarded blessings and mercy from their Lord; and it is those who are the guided ones." [2:155-157]This past year and the last have seen me through an aberration of events and emotions that have kept me on a perpetual rollercoaster for what has seemed like a lifetime but it's finally over - for now it is over. I can finally say i've turned over a new leaf and am starting with a clean slate. I am already feeling the pre-affects of Ramadan; i feel refreshed and happy, and very much relieved that for once i don't have a million things on my plate, for once i am handling the things being thrown at me with ease, with the realisation of and keeping in mind that my life could not be in better Hands than in those of the Almighty Creator Allah (swt). I am finally throwing out the unnecessary baggage that had been weighing me down for so long, making a good amount of room for what will hopefully only be the lily-white type from here on out. I've learnt bulk this past year, i've learnt that no matter how bad you have it you should always be thankful because someone is always worse off, that no matter how hard you hit rock bottom the only other way is up and that it's okay to fall sometimes so you know where it is that you stand.
On another note I honestly can't wait for Ramadan this year. Not only does this blessed month allow for endless opportunities for rewards but it is the perfect time to get rid of bad habbits and make room for the good ones. I'm pretty sure a lot more in my life is about to change and things might not always be smooth sailing either, i don't know what is to come or what to expect for the future but i am sure as hell not afraid to jump in that rabbit hole and find out. Bismillah*
