When it comes to the end of the year I’m
just so excited to say good riddance to the current year and a big
waving arms hello to a bright and shiny new year. This year, i may say, has taught me a lot, has gave me a lot of tastes. Sweet, sour, and even bitter. But i enjoyed and cherished it every moment because there's the only option i can do.
366 days. It is not a short time to learn, not a short time to change, to a short time to get things you have planned. So many things i have been through for the past months, so many things i have reached too. From the happy things to the sad things, it gave me lesson to be a better version of me, to grow wiser, to reach higher, to give more, to love more. As i look back, there is nothing more i can feel but a very thankful feeling, for everything, especially for Allah swt. I love the way Allah surprises me, and indeed, Allah is the best planner of all.
It's finally come to the last post in 2016. I have finally finished my own mission, to write 12 chapters of life on this year. I'll probably do this again next year, let's see. Anyway, for the last chapter in my 2016 life, it's gonna be the most epic story i will write, ever. For the end of this year, I rewarded my life by performing Umrah. And that was the best thing that have ever happened in my life, so far. A hundred percent sure.
To perform Umrah or Hajj with my own earnings, with my own savings, it has always been a hidden dream for me, since ugh.. long time ago. Since i was in high school. I bought my own piggy bank to save my money for that, even more. But there are always, you know, obstacles in keeping it real. For me, there are shopping, traveling to other places or even buying foods. But if Allah found you lost, He will guide you. and indeed, Allah guides me until this very time. And there is another surprise actually. I went there all by myself. That was my very first time for Umrah, and i went alone, so basically i know no one, know nothing and this is probably the most reckless thing i have done so far. I often wondering around all by myself, but only in Indonesia. So, this step probably is going to be my step stone to the next adventure? Hehe.
People kept saying i was crazy enough to do this. Especially my parent, they were really afraid that i was going to be lost or not coming back to home. They kept warning me to always stay to the group, to not wondering around alone. But they also know me well, that it was almost impossible for me to not wandering around by myself. And i secretly did that. The experiences were so ... even money can not pay this. The things that i always remember as long as i live. My journey for Umrah was so exhilarating. I met good people, have amazingly funny roommates, smooth journey, and get so many loves from everyone (that i haven't meet and know), good surprises from Allah and so much kindness and loves from Allah. Subhanallahu Walhamdulillahi Allahu akbar. :")
One of the benefits of going alone is this, meeting new people, knowing a lot of
thing and get lot of loves from people. Thank youuuu :")
To the fellow readers, to my friends, to everyone, whatever happened, let it go, let it be, remember it as a good memories, took it as lessons to be learned, but keep moving forward, don't look back too long, because the future awaits ahead. For the bright year and good surprises that we will face, Happy New Year ! :)
