A friend told me on the way to school the other day that Ramadan is a time for us to reflect where we are, that if there's no difference between this ramadan and the last...well something is wrong..
Well I don't know if I have change much but this raya and ramadan, I feel I do have changed a bit.
I feel that I have grown a bit,mentally particularly. I have seen myself more and more mature I guess while retaining a lot on the kid's side too. So I guess I'm seeing a balance between the adult me and the kid me.Sometimes I am alarmed at the rate of growing up I have to do and have done. But I guess it comes with age and responsibility so therefore I am thankful that Allah has blessed me with the strength to do so.
I have also seen my relationship with my mum getting stronger and we are definitely closer as years go by. Even people are commenting on it and that includes stranger too who have barely met us for 5minutes. I guess by this age, one would probably have expended all those mum-daughter fights, those tantrum throwing attitude and teenage angst.Alhamdulilah. I really hope it will get better and better coz who else do I have besides my mum, right? She's my only immediate family for now. So ya alhamdulilah. This raya I am really thankful to Allah for my relationship with my mum.
I am also thankful that I get to meet Ramadan and Syawal again. I don't know. I think I teared a bit when I heard the takbir while buka-ing the other day. I guess having a few health scare this year and the idea of death have really took a toll on me on the idea of what ifs.So alhamdulilah again. I prayed that I have many more ramadan and rayas to look forward to. Maybe with more people along the way. InsyaAllah.
This year also, I am thankful with the presence of friends. I really feel blessed when I reflect back on my friends. You guys have been there for me. Everyone form a different snippets in my life and I am thankful that Allah has made our path crossed. So thank you everyone.
Ok I think enough with the Thankful... Haha. But I do mean it, every one bit. May we all be blessed with great health to meet again for the next Ramadan and Syawal.InsyaAllah.
Now how much have you guys got for raya? Hohoho...
