cov (eid) round two

 Selamat Hari Raya, lovelies. 

I hope this second round has found you a sense of familiarity although not to our best interest, at least we are saving the world and we are mentally prepared this time around. I wish you a lovely Eid to my muslim brothers and sisters wherever you are and a lovely holiday to the rest :) There's just something about Eid, that makes the day feels so magical and equally sentimental. The air is filled with spirits of love, forgiveness, togetherness and kindness – I absolutely love it. But at the same time, it's very nostalgic. 

This is the time when we miss the ones that are no longer with us the most. No matter how many years have passed, the emotions remain the same. Perhaps, the only thing that changes is the ability to control the emotions. I don't think we cry because we do not accept His fate but simply because we truly miss everything about them. Their voice, their touch and simply their lovely soul. MashaAllah, Allah truly loves them. They were angels. It's interesting to see how I've reached the age where my peers are starting to experience loss. I experienced it at a relatively young age when almost to non of my peers could even begin to fathom the feeling of losing our loved ones. That said, there were simply no human outlet to verbalise my emotions resulting in them being bottled up which never really ends well. But, on the bright side, because of that it allowed me to truly strengthen my relationship with Him. Now, at an older age, it doesn't take me to say much for the other person to understand the pain and longing that come from time to time. Regardless the age, it's heartbreaking to see anyone losing their loved ones and I wish no one has to go through it. But it is what it is, the cycle of life – there is a start and there is an ending. For our loved ones, for you and for me. It's a reminder that everything on this world is temporary and it's truly a humbling reminder. 

I am sending the warmest hug and the biggest love to the ones who are trying their best to go through life with a hole in their heart. I pray that He blesses us with peace, calmness, everything good in this world and hereafter and protects us from everything bad in this world and hereafter. I hope He patches that hole with Iman and reminder that we will reunite with our loved ones again one day, InsyaAllah. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lots of love,
