Que sera, sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que sera, sera

What will be, will be

When I was much younger, I used to listen to this song and never could relate to it despite its simplicity. Or perhaps I could not be bothered to think much of it. You know, when you are younger you are constantly on the go and never pause for awhile to do much reflections. When you grow older, you cherish alone time more for self reflections and such.

Have it ever cross your mind that the path that lead you to where you are now has always been specifically curated for you? Only you are able to walk that path and experience all the beauty and bitterness along the way? Only you are able to cope with the rainy season. The storm that come with it.

 

We are all walking towards the same destination (for most of us at least) but our paths are different. I am eternally grateful for the path I have walked and for the people I have met along the way. Be it in a small or a big way, all of these shape me to who I am today. I am equally as grateful, for Allah has constantly guide me and not let me astray. I cannot imagine my life any other way.  I do not consider myself to be the best Muslim but I am striving to be better each day. 

For as long as God's will, there is quite a distance for me to keep on walking ahead. I am walking forward not knowing what the future will lead me to but I am certain my Creator knows what is best for me. Just like how He create the Universe to operate in a precise, timely manner. He will do the same for us all. Have faith and strive to be better than yesterday ❤

A decade since my last entry. Of course, change is inevitable. We all change, hopefully for the better. Our perspective of life evolve through time. So is mine. What used to spark joy in our lives have also evolve.

I spent a few days reading through my past entries. I was amazed at how I was very eager to share with the cyberworld about what I have been up to and feeling. Like many of us, I was giggling at my silliness, cringing at those teenage dramas that had happened and regretting how I used to spend my time. I am not proud of some of the things that I have done or not done. That was the past afterall. We are all still in a learning journey, discovering our strengths and weaknesses. What we can do in the present is to strive to be the better version of ourselves and pursue to create an even better future self. 

I have decided to keep this blog so that I can look back at how much I have grown over the decades and how I view life at different phases of my life. I am glad that technology exists at such an early years of my life for me to be able to keep archive my journey in this temporary world. I am hoping to be back here soon to share and express my random thoughts. Not that I think that anyone would read it but this time I am doing it for me. Till then, be the positive change that you want to be. ❤
