end of the year

Funny enough, 2024 went by so fast, a lot of things has happened and change. i have been working for a year, such a shocker, i am happy and fulfilled but unbelievably tired all the freaking time. I am happy that my career is a very dynamic one, but i cannot deny how it is very demanding as well. 

Family-wise, things has been much calmer and more at peace this year since i have moved closer to my family. i expected this outcome already, but again it does come with a toll in which my social activity is increasing and that is also tiring me out but in a very good way, i am grateful for sure, not complaining.

Friendship-wise, it is great to be near to my friends that i grew up with, but i definitely miss the friends and the relationships i left behind, they were such an integral part of me, and it  has not been easy to accept this change. welcoming new things also means learning to let go of things of the past, not in the way of leaving behind out of hate or despise, but just accepting the flow of time and where it takes your relationships, if you know what i mean. 

Partner-wise, i am content, with my love for god, for family, for friends and for me. i would love to have a significant other but i am no longer looking for that in every corner of my life. A life with, or without a partner is still as meaningful and as beautiful. 

So goodbye 2024, and i welcome 2025 with a big warm hug

you did well, shakirah, for 31 years of life, you have done well.

May Allah bless you and guide for the following years to come.
