its something that you allow"

Well hello little corner.
Can you even believe 2009 is almost at its end. I'm not really sure if I'm ready for 2010. But that doesn't matter now does it?
I'm not sure for the rest, since I've lost track in the blogging arena, but surely, everyone would have their end of year posts posted up right about this time, typing away the things they've learned, things they expect for the coming year, etc. If you haven't, well you should start now, because even 'miss thinkingtopi' the on-and-off-moody-emo blogger has posted up hers. Whats taking you so long?
The big word of the year 2009 would be 'change'. It feels exactly like having green pants on today because green has been my favorite color for 13 years, and the next day I wake up, I suddenly find yellow attractive and replace them in a dash. Good one missy, this is what you get for detaching yourself from blogging = pathetic, lame examples. I would like to repeat that. Pathetic, lame examples.
If I may start, I'd say all the great things about 2009.
Like how it thought me patience I never knew I had. Dealing with situations, people I love, people I don't love, people I love & hate at the same time. I'd like to believe I'm the most impatient 20 year old you'll ever meet, but just for this year, I dare say I broke my own record. Being in a place I knew I deserve way better for the most longest time, that took a hell lot of patience and yes honey, tolerance.
Tolerance was one thing I knew I had in me, one thing I knew I was good at. Also, the one thing I knew people took granted for. Tolerance, I've learned, must only be applicable when it needs to be. Naive I was, but that was only because I believed good things would always happen to people who could tolerate well, it makes you more 'likable'. Gah. Missy needs to learn to put her foot down in certain situations. Just so that people don't take advantage of her. Next.
Trust. Such a short word with a meaning that goes deep beyond the seven seas. What is it about trust that turns you bitter? I wouldn't want to mess with trust, why? Simply because this is the one thing that when you decide to mess with, it knocks you down when you least expect it. I wouldn't agree much to the saying, 'Trust no one,trust a few'. I may have said that in previous years, but 2009 taught me to trust Him. The Almighty, which brings me in trusting the people around me. How is it possible to not trust in people you know or you just knew?. Bridging that trust requires faith in Him. Hence, trust, would have to be genuinely on our part. The rest, is left to Him to decide on where it takes us to. This one act that requires us to have nil perception towards another. They say, honesty would show its best when it is performed in its most purest form. Lets talk less and do more. To 2010, trust issues is a no-no. Aye?
Climbing. Outdoors would be the most awesome thing I finally got myself heavily involved with. Camps, hiking trips, great company, such beautiful views, mashaAllah. Grateful to have been exposed to this before flying away, it only goes to show how theres no place like home :) , great food, great company, great places, oh the love.
Parts and pieces, but worth remembering.

If you ask me on 2009, it'd be so much on personal development. How I've learnt to stand strong when the world felt like it was the least place I want to be in.
The best part would be the day I decided to completely shut my old book. One that consist of much stupidity and blinded by things I thank God I realize at an early stage not worth fighting for or holding on to. We've all had that fair share of life, that moment where you realize how foolish you were, not so much a laughing matter just yet, but surely, that very chapter of life you appreciate each day now for happening because it made you stronger today and a lot wiser.
A good friend once told me, good things happen to people who wait. Alhamdulillah, its starting to show now. In the midst of all the process of starting another new chapter elsewhere, I find myself here, finally, after such a long time, typing this down word by word, as clearly as i can be, to remind myself,

Missy, you've done well, and you did great. Theres a whole lot more waiting in front of you. Be careful, have faith, and never let anyone bring you down. Know which are worth keeping, and which are not. Bring the good with you and learn from the bad.
Remember His promise?
He'll take away people and things you love around you just to replace them with something better.
When you trust Him, the only One unconditional love,
everything else will know its place.
InshaAllah.
