Familiarity
Written on the 18 Sep 2021

As I am looking around my room, a sense of familiarity seeps in. For the first time, I hung my sling bags and my prayer bag at the door. The books stack on one another with the colourful printed title embedded on them. The 3 different sets of dumbbells lined up on the floor with my exercise shoes beside them. I find my room very colourful and full of familiarity.
Writing on this website is a form of familiarity as well. It is a hobby that does not give me fame and money but it does keep me happy. All of my hobbies such as writing, doing photography, doing workouts and reading books etc keep me sane and happy as I am trying to recover and be stable before I am ready for a full time job.
I am just so relieved and glad that I am not in any relationship because I will never be ready. Maybe when the right person comes into my life, then it will be a different story. Haha I have never been into one before that I am really glad Allah protect me from being into one. And I have no idea how it works other than having boundaries.
Back to my room.......
It is nice to realise that my room is not empty at all but is filled with memories from my past. It is a place where I used to sleep with my grandparents. I used to drink from my milk bottle. I remember how much I love drinking that milk. I wonder if the brand is still around.
Now, it is just me in my room. I am really fortunate I don't have a sister. I don't think I can cope with someone else with me in my room. I am very quiet and always need my own personal space. The room is like a sanctuary to me.
I just met with a primary school friend today. I am grateful that I keep in touch with her recently She is such a sweet, gentle and understanding person. She has never changed since 20 years ago. She has a great ambition and I am very sure that she can continue to succeed. She has always been that smart, intelligent, wise and understanding friend and she will always be till now. I feel more hopeful that I will be okay. Having encouraging friends really help me a lot from withering into the storm.
I really hope that I treasure moments in the present with close friends. Because you may never know when they will be gone from your life.
I hope I can be a good friend and be more gracious as well. <3
