The last couple of months have undoubtedly been the most challenging period of my entire life, and I feel compelled to open up about it. Not with even single detail but with the little I can share From encounters with the DSS and police authorities, to conflicts with my boss, and finally, the devastating loss of my best friend just last week, my life has taken a turn that I never anticipated. Since September 25th, 2023, I have been grappling with immense pain and sorrow, even though I may hide it behind a smile or a joke. These recent months have been a journey of self-discovery and growth. I have learned the hard way about whom to trust and whom to be cautious of. I have discovered who I consider to be my true family and who has become an integral part of it. I have come to realize who my genuine friends are and who were merely there for the good times. Amidst it all, I have found newfound faith in my Creator, and for that, this arduous journey has been worth it. To those who have stood by my side, even if it was just a small gesture of a phone call to check up on me, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. Your unwavering support and prayers have been my guiding light during these dark moments. I sincerely pray that the Almighty showers you with blessings and opens up unexpected avenues of fulfillment in your lives. I genuinely believe that I would not have made it this far without your love and encouragement. As for those whom I have lost along the way, I have come to accept that it was perhaps for the best. Not everyone we carry with us on our journey is meant to accompany us to the next phase of our lives. It is a painful realization, but one that has brought me closer to understanding the true nature of human connections. Lastly, this period of hardship has served as a profound lesson for me. I have come to comprehend that approximately 90% of the people in our lives value us based on what we possess or can offer them. It is a harsh reality, but only a mere 10% are genuinely there for us, guided by a higher purpose. I find solace in the fact that these chosen few are committed to our well-being out of pure sincerity and for the sake of Allah. Once again, I thank you all for your continuous support, love, and prayers during this trying time. May we all find strength in our darkest hours and emerge as better individuals.

One of my favorite twin cousins is getting married this Sunday. I had promised myself I wouldn’t attend, but my mom keeps pleading with me to go.
