A Long Search

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

First and foremost, I'M SORRY for ditchcing this blog for like, forever. So, um, clean slate please? Let me justify my actions, first.

I didn't want to stop blogging, but I simply had to, because I couldn't find anything to write about. I kept--repeating the same things, or talk about nothing. That's not me blogging, that's me speaking gibberish. So I had to go off, to find things I could ponder on my free time, things when I say it, I make people think about it, day to night, dusk to dawn.

Because you see, I was antisocial ( I believe labeling myself as introvert is a bit professional, as I am indeed socially impaired). I don't talk to strangers, I keep things to myself, and worse, I don't talk to strangers. "Stranger Danger" and all that. Yeaaahhh.. So it had to change.

Got into university, college and stuff. And I became this dude.
NERD ALERT!
I've nothing to say about my face in this picture...

Nyways, with the current position I am in, initially I was forced to communicate with people. Being an antisocial, my comfort zone is really small. Only my peers can speak my language. Picking up phone calls from an unknown number is terrifying. Being greeted by a stranger was a super weird sensation. After a while I got used to talking to people, people I know--people I don't know. They're all people, ayte? And I believe, that's where my adventure starts :)

I read this comic once, about a man who wanted to 'create', but believes his environment is not conducive. So he moved to find solitude, where he could 'create', but he never did, even with the most conducive of places, he did not 'create'. The only thing stopping us from achieving the things we want, is our own excuse. I longed for adventures, but I never dared to step of the door. Always with the "wait till the time is right" thing.

So, bismillah. May this be my first step, to my perpetual journey in finding the beauty of life :)

Ten pages are simply not enough to show my gratitude to everyone who supported me to keep on blogging (admittedly, I just read those comments today *cough*). Why only ten pages, you ask? Well because I couldn't write anything up to four pages long, let alone ten! So THANK YOU for all y'all support!

InsyaAllah, I will keep on blogging :) No promises, though.

I realize, the moment I change MY world--my mind, my heart, I changed my sight. I see the beauty of things I could not see before. Indeed it is beautiful.

I bought a book, a journal, thinking maybe I could write on the go. Apparently I can't write while I think. So the book ended filled with doodles, meeting notes, barely lecture notes, and scribbles. Hah.

Well, I don't want to stuff it all up into a single post, so I'll save my little adventures for future posts :) If you've seen me on the streets, do say Hi :D or give a high five, a fist bump maybe?

Till then, peace out!
Iddeeen~
