A Glimpse of My 2019

2019 was so full of hatred, anger and bitterness that I almost couldn't afford to stay calm and be patient all the time. This also leads me to cut off a couple of relationships. See, when you fill yourself with negative energy, you are not capable to neutralize them anymore when people throwing them at you. Instead, the negative energy within you will either be charged or triggered by those toxic people.

I couldn't deal with the source of pain that caused me anger, hatred and bitterness at the moment no matter how hard I try. But I couldn't afford myself to stay angry all the time. So, I distant myself from them. Those who are dishonest hypocrites, condescending, manipulative and sarcastic jerks. I try to ignore the sarcasm, the lie and the acting by pretending I don't understand or know nothing about it. But here's the thing: I always know. I just don't really care. They don't hurt me but I don't want their toxic words and behavior to fuel the fire I try to contain within myself.

2019 witnessed how bitter I have become. Don't get me wrong. I am far from jealous. It's the unfairness decision and action that bring me down. When people try to talk to me about it, my throat feels dry and sore, I can feel my heart turns ice cold instantly and it's even hard to swallow my own spit. Some people can even notice my dark aura that emerges out of my body when the topic was brought up, which they respect and understand me enough not to continue it on.

You know, I learned from a long time ago that when you are angry, silent is the best answer to keep you away from doing or uttering things you might regret later. So, I become more silent these days. I also have become a very simple person. If you wrong me, then I just pray you will taste the very same bitter medicine you forced me to eat. Only then, we can talk about forgiveness. Don't worry, I won't be the one throwing it, but life will. I think if people don't know how to put themselves in someone else's shoes, they ought to learn how it feels to wear the very same shoes. Maybe then, they will learn the word of empathy and try to be a little bit nicer to other people.

I don't think I had it worst in 2019. I went home this year. I met everyone I love. But their positive energy was still not enough to put out the fire raging inside me. That's not the worst part. The worst part is, I'm afraid I will carry on this hatred, angry and bitterness within me at least till the end of summer next year. How unfortunate of me to walk on this path: a path of destruction.

With 2019 almost coming to an end, I hope I can find peace and happiness again. I hope I can let go of what's not meant for me and have faith in Allah, that He will replace what He took with something better. I hope I can understand the hikmah of what happened and do not regret the right thing I chose to do. After all, I should leave alone things that do not benefit me in the next life and abandon what I fear its consequences in the hereafter.

Biar Aku Sahaja

“Boleh tolong aku siket tak?” “Apa dia?” Meski sejak tadi berdiam diri, mulut terkunci sepi, matanya dari tadi menatap susuk tubuh yang duduk di hadapannya. “Berhenti pandang aku macam tu. Berhenti tengok aku macam aku cedera parah. Berhenti tengok aku macam aku orang yang kau kena lindung. Aku ok. Jangan risau.” Dia faham pandangan Ijad. Lagi lagi lepas Ijad nampak dia nangis habis tadi dalam bilik. Dan Ijad cuma tercegat berdiri kat situ dengan pandangan yang sama tanpa sepatah kata. Dia tahu Ijad tak perlu tanya apa-apa, Ijad tahu semua. “Tolonglah berhenti. Kau cuma buat hati aku lagi luluh.” Ijad dengan perlahan membawa pandangan ke luar tingkap. Angin berderu masuk membawa angin  sejuk yang sekali lagi menambah pedih di hulu hatinya. Terasa ingin menangis lagi sekali. “Kau tahu Nas apa buat aku rasa tak guna sekarang?”  Ijad bersuara rendah seolah-olah bercakap dengan diri sendiri. Dia mendiamkan diri. Perlahan tangannya memgang dadanya. Sak...

2020- The Pandemic Year

As we are approaching the end of the year 2020, I find my heart starts to fill with rage and fire again. I'm hurt and angry (probably at God again). I know we all have a hard time this year but we are not exactly in the same boat. As for me, I saw 2020 as a hope, that after everything I went through in 2019, 2020 is going to be fine. At least, that's what I've been telling myself. And now we are already in December, I think I've lied to myself enough. So, let's summarize what happened in the year 2020. First of all, I had a sleep disorder. My sleep problem was terrible and it all started after I came back to Germany. Sometimes, I was getting like 3 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. This disaster continued on for almost 8 to 9 months. However, this sleep disorder helped me a lot while getting through Ramadhan. So, for the first time since I arrived in Germany, I can follow another version of the prayer calendar, which I believe is more nature convincing. Oh yes, me...

Ask God Now

This thought hit me so hard that I just can't ignore it and start to write again in this blog. You know what, think of the time when you were in trouble. Think of the time when you were sick. Think of the time when nothing went fine. Think of the time when your chest felt as if it would burst any second at any time. And remember how many times you called God to fix the thing for you. Remember how many times you asked God to make the way easy for you. Remember the time you asked God to lend you the strength to walk through the rough and cold season. And how many times did God answer your call? Every time! Each and every time! Some in ways that you can see it with your naked eye and some in ways that you could only understand if you have patience hold inside your soul. See, we are the living proof that God answers every prayer. But there will come a time when our call, our prayers will be ignored. And that's when we know everything is too late. When is that? When we alre...
