A Pause;

By the time I realized it, I have not been jotting anything here for the past... more than a year or so.
When I started posting my Iceland trip entries, I was entering an uphill struggle in my working phase- too little time, too many things on my plate, and rather too scanty of some sort of support with too little air to breathe. While registrar time had me prepared somewhat for my new role at that time, certain unprecedented events took me by surprise, and perhaps my being extra-overwhelmed when I shouldn't, threw me off my balance and I just lost all control and spiraled down.

Maybe only a handful of people know what was really going on behind the scene. And to this handful of people, I am most grateful for.

Now that I am out of that phase and looking back, although it seemed like it was my darkest period so far, to the point I was seeking professional help, it was a blessing in disguise in many ways; it answered a LOT of questions I had and opened up a lot of OPPORTUNITIES to improve myself, especially mentally and spiritually.

That said, I will be taking yet another pause to pursue my studies, so yes, another chapter and another journey. This time (I feel as though) I'm on my own, alone to take on this path... until I found comrades along the way, I hope.
But, (and this is to remind myself) hasbunallah wani'mal wakeel

حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.

Will be continuing the Iceland trip if I got the time, insyaAllah.
