a year later;

around this time last year, i received a text from this handsome man,  from half way around the world. and the ball started rolling from there.

a year later - he's back there, and i am now, his proud wife :)

i remembered so well telling people how i didn't believe in long distance. how i'm just not made for it, and how it's just too much of an effort to have to keep up. i was so strongly against it.

ergh. well life came to bite me in the back.

i learnt now that as much that it depends on the person you're with - its rooted most from the kind of love you let grow in your heart. a love that builds you, will hardly come in between your dreams and aims. it in fact, it motivates you to only become better.

they say its hard to give in so much because its hard to trust the other. as a protection to ourselves, we wall up and throw trust out of the window. how is it then a relationship when you find it so hard to trust each other in the first place? what kind of love is love when it comes with no trust?

a night before the nikaah, he texted me and said,

" after tomorrow, inshaAllah i will try to take good care of us. i know its probably too early to tell you to trust me, in fact, i won't tell you to trust me, its okay if you don't, but i want you to at least, trust Allah, and believe that this arrangement is a Blessing from Him, "

that was when i learnt the concept of trust.

you place your trust in the hands of people, they will surely, disappoint. but placing your trust in Allah - He never disappoints.


loving you has been so amazing, mashaAllah. thank you for always aligning me back towards the One i should be loving most.  for always teaching me to love properly.


miss you love you mucho mucho.
