Speeding towards that time of year

  Only last week did I realise my 22nd birthday's looming around the corner. It got me reminiscing my birthday last year..and I can't help thinking so much has happened since then.

  Life's lessons won't have mercy, but we have to keep in mind that they are all part of Allah's plans. Elina, a dear friend reminded me the other day, and I quote "I believe in happy endings. If we're not happy, then it's not the end". So embrace all challenges and consider them as God's unique way to tell you that He remembers you, because if He doesn't, He will just leave u astray and let you continue making mistakes you've been making. This leads me to another quote from my bestfriend Kamila, "Allah misses you, so He wants you to talk to Him and ask for His guidance".

  On a different note, even though I was clad only with my Telford Hall t-shirt, thank you so so much for those who surprised me on my birthday last year, especially to the person who planned it from afar. I truly appreciate and treasure your effort. These memories make me smile, inside and out.

• May 22 be a good year. Aameen.
