Today is 1 Muharram 1438, a new year in the Islamic calendar of 354 days.
A new year means new beginnings. He is the greatest by giving us so many days in a year to reset and start afresh. Truly, I as a mere mortal sometimes take this for granted.

I was in London for a while. I’ve been in the dumps in so many aspects of my life. I had gone through severe depression, anxiety, angry, upset and much more. Most we’re due to my professional life. I had been cheated, used and so forth. It was a very dark stage in my life.

Despite it, there was always that one silver lining, he. He was there for me to nag, remind, encourage, hold my hand, advise and help me out. For that, I am truly grateful.

As I was leaving for London, he told me to take time. To clear my mind, my thoughts and reshuffle everything. I thought it was not possible but I did it.

When I came home, I had so many buzzing thoughts in my head. I haven’t been able to share it with him but Insyallah, Allah will grant me the time to share it with him. I did manage to pen it down. I hope he will be proud of it.

On another note, I will try my very best to let go of the past. As an Aries, I tend to hold on to the grudge. Some incidents had happened and made me very paranoid and insecure. Today, boldly I had taken the first physical step to let it go. I came to realize, it was holding me back from my own happiness. As for my confidence, I will regain it in good time.

Sometimes in life, we get to consume with everything around us and forget what should be prioritized. I’ve written it down in my brand spanking new organizer! I told you I took the advise seriously.

Right now I just need one thing to achieve all my goals and this pursuit of happiness, Sushi. Loads of Sushi time.

Bismillah.
