This is it. Another sage of fact that I’m going to face soon. Couldn’t believe that time passes faster as you age. I’ve left behind so much of what I thought I couldn’t do. I’ve given up on the opportunity to be in a Rugby club and school team because I have to prioritize my love ones and I had to work for my daily allowance after school hours, I’ve given up on chasing my dream bike because I had to keep in mind that my mother is my regular pillion, I’ve stopped listening to music that doesn’t make sense for more than two years now because ‘selawat’ is a better option, I’ve stopped wearing above knee skirts and shorts because I wanted to discipline myself to dress modestly. Most importantly, I’ve stopped caring about old regrets, shallow judgments and fear of failure.  


Truthfully, almost anything is possible when you have the nerve to do it. I was being reminded that I can’t always wait for the perfect time and conditions, because there maybe no such phenomenon. I’m not trying to become an angel but I want to deliberately improve myself, for the better. It’s exhausting to stay firm on your ground when others try to pull you back to what you used to be and constantly trying your patience. May Allah have mercy on them. Having said that, I hope to have an exceeding chance to see myself somewhere since everyone of us encompasses a profound and unique set of secrets and mysteries that are absolutely undetectable to everyone else.
