Hey there, here I am almost at the end of February in the new year of 2020 and boy, what a hectic two months it has been. Is the start of the year always like this or should I just be treating this like any other day or time of the year?
I suppose we often step into the new year bringing in high hopes for change and thinking of fresh starts but no matter how hard we try and prepare ourselves for it - mentally or physically, Allah's will is mightier and those obstacles thrown at your path must be overcome.
On some days I think I can triumph, as I steel myself despite of the tests and tribulations. But it doesn't work out all the time. The thing is we don't have the strength to be tough all the time. And we owe it to ourselves to except that fact.
What I'm saying is sometimes we have to stop. Rest. Relax and not feel like we need to take on the world all at once. We need to know our priorities and be moderate. Especially in how we divide time.
Personally, time is something I often think I need more of. Sometimes I wish I had more than 24 hours in a day. Just to finish writing that first chapter for eg. (yes, I'm still writing - my 3rd unpublished novel right now), just to watch that Korean drama or just to exercise and lose the weight I've accumulated (which is a lot!) or even just to scrub the floor in the bathroom.
But then I figure we just have to make use of the 24 hours given to us. Use it well. Allah has created that much time for us and surely it is enough, right?
So now here I am, putting in my thoughts in this dusty blog again just so I can put my time to use. Yes writing is useful for me. I seriously can't live without writing. And I won't stop doing it while I'm still sane and able.. and while my hands are functioning well ;)
So yeah, this is some sort of a random post.. stay well everyone. See ya around. Happy belated new year!
