After what feels like years of trying to navigate life's chaos, I'm finally seeing things align, and it’s such a beautiful feeling. Starting my "big girl job" this past August has been a milestone that feels surreal. It’s not just any job either—it's a role that was offered to me before I even wrapped up my internship. That kind of trust and belief in my capabilities felt like a blessing. Of course, I took some time to think it through, but as a fresh graduate, I understood how rare these opportunities could be. And now, here I am, settling into my career, and if it’s Allah's will, a promotion might be around the corner.
Pray for me, whoever is reading this. Pray that things keep moving smoothly because, for the first time in a long while, I can truly say I’m happy.
Adulthood is showing itself to me in ways I hadn’t imagined. It’s not all about paying bills or dealing with responsibilities—it’s about maturing, finding joy in personal growth, and finally building a life I’m proud of. I’m learning to let go of negativity and embrace the goodness surrounding me. It’s liberating, really.
That being said, not everything is sunshine and roses. I fell out of friendship with someone I knew from my matriculation program. We disagreed on something, and I tried to reach out to reconcile, but they’ve been ignoring me despite being active on social media. It sucks, to be honest. Knowing they’re purposefully avoiding me stings, especially since we’ll be seeing each other at our graduation this December. How awkward is that going to be?
But you know what? Life goes on. People drift apart, and sometimes, no matter how much effort you put into fixing things, it’s out of your hands. What matters is that I’m at peace with trying to make amends. I’m choosing to focus on the people who value me, the career that’s blossoming, and the happiness I’ve worked so hard to rediscover.
To anyone reading this: hold onto hope. Things get better, even when it feels like they won’t. Keep pushing forward, and someday, you’ll look back and realize it all fell into place beautifully. Keep me in your prayers, and I’ll keep you in mine. 😊
