Two years ago today

I start in the name of Allah, The Most Generous, The Most Merciful.

Two years ago, today, is the day I graduated from University with a mediocre degree.

It was a sad time, deep down inside because I did not really know what I wanted to do with my [worldly] life.

Hah! I still think I don't sometimes.

We are drilled with ideas from a young age...

We are asked questions about, "What do you want to BE when you grow up?"

Heck, I even caught myself asking some of the youngsters at the school I work at that very question...

I'm going to admit this, I have never really known what I wanted to do in my so-called life. I am the type of person who wanted to be a pilot one day, an archaeologist the next day and a teacher the next...

I'm in a menial job. Not in a position I ever wanted to be. Maybe within one of the environments. But not where I ever pictured myself being...

Still battling it out if I should take the plunge and get myself more of an eduMACHation (because sadly that's only how one is seen as worthy in this world, but nothing is a guarantee at the end of it!) to become so called QUALIFIED.

I guess I have always had issues with commitment to things because I would not be in this predicament of, 'what to do', if I did not...

I could have been so-called qualified by now or maybe next year if I didn't take the so-called broken road.

But the thought of being 'stuck' in a profession, with my ever-loving love of not being 'tied-down' to a profession just won't dissolve.

And, so, here I am!

There's so much pressure from society to become...

Don't let the pressure seep inside you because that's what causes the problem.

When you get treated like dirt and a nobody, realise everyone is a nobody. 

Us humans are nobodies to each other but we can be somebody in the eyes of God. That is only when we truly are somebody.

I am an adventurer, a lover of traveling. I wasn't and nor is anyone supposed to be 'tied-down' to a profession unless your heart leads you to it.

Don't procrastinate. But take things in life at a pace you can handle...

Handle yourself well and learn to be happy.

Everything is going as it should be and you will be all that Allah wants you to be.

May Allah forgive us for our past, present and future sins, the ones we know of and the ones we don't know of, the ones we do in private and the ones we do in public. May The Loving make us amongst the righteous and noble, such a prophet Muhammad, peace, love, light and blessings be upon him. May The Giver guide us to that which is best for us in this life and the next. May we be among those of jannah al firdaus and may The Eternal build for us a house in paradise close to the noble woman Asiya, amin.
