Sometime when I need to clear my head, I’d drove to somewhere quite.. Where I could be alone, by myself, and just enjoy the solitude.. The peace and quite of ME time. No pretense, no effort to maintain composure, no mask, no phony conversation, nothing.
A place where I could get away from all the crazy commotion around me, and just Do Nothing. Inhaling peace from the silence..
On that place, I could meet myself, give myself a pat on the back.. And say “Hi! How are you faring? Everything will be fine..”
I think in the face of hardship or uncertainty, we all need to STOP and [ ... ]

I logged in to my Facebook, and stumbled upon a post from one of my friend, and see that she already had a baby. After 31 years of looking, she finally found the love of her life, got married, and now happily a mother.
Wow.. It touched me cause I know how she struggled through it.. I see her trying hard to discover herself..to figure it all out. And she discovered herself after she bare it all to Allah and ask for His forgiveness.. Being more close to Him instead of shying away.
I am a lot like her in a way.. [ ... ]
