بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.
It has been a long time since I wrote on the blog, to be specific almost 3 years ago. But tonight I decided to write again here. Previously, I have been sharing my thoughts and reflections through social media such as Facebook for it has more interactions compared to here. However, after years of 'exposing' my life, I decided to slow it down. Facebook has become too public for me. The list of friends is becoming unfamiliar and I kind of reflecting on
am I being true to my self first and foremost and people around? what are my intentions? How can I benefit them through the sharing? What will be the topic? Is it about things that happen in my life? Why would others bother about it? and so on. Thus, I make my cycle smaller. I had like to focus quality over quantity. For that, I keep writing on my Whatsapp Stories where the people who can see it, are only my phone contacts, those who I really know. And through times, I make it smaller again and again, when it is only can be seen by girls and closed friends only.
Until tonight, while I was scrolling my phone, an acquaintance I met in Brunei texts me, asking whether I remember her. And to my surprise, she tells me she enjoys watching and reading mine. Alhamdulillah. All praises to Allah.
The truth is am I touched when I receive that kind of feedback. I have been received quite a few from my international friends such as from Gambia, West Africa, and Indonesia too. I mean it just amazing when your words could actually reach a lot of people. And it is all about being true to yourself. All of the sharing doesn't mean that I already master it, but it is the journey, struggle, things that I also need to work on.
To keep up with that spirit, here I am.
May Allah accepts all the deeds.
