out loud.

assalamualaikum.

may peace be upon you.

what a lovely way to greet someone, no?

because i think when it comes down to it, that's what most of us want. to be at peace with ourselves, our decisions in life and the people that we love.

for most of my life, i've always been that responsible person. applying early for jobs, making sure all bills are paid on time, making sure budget was in check. but i think it's okay to not know where we're headed sometimes. how would i have imagined my life would change so much with A here?

i think you build the future you want to have. but without courage and effort, it will all go to waste. and confidence. i've always grown up as a less than confident kid, but as i've grown older, i've realized you don't need to shout to be heard.

i don't want to be stuck in a life, doing a job that i don't feel any passion for. i want to care about the things that i do. and for better or worse, that is a decision that i am at peace with.
