A Break

I stand corrected, it should be; a longggggg break. That is what I truly need.

I do enjoy reading other blogger's stories, experience, et cetera. Sometimes, I do wish I have the luxury of time to blog more often. Or make that extra effort to blog like they do despite their busy life. Unfortunately, I do not seem to be able to blog at all these days.  Hence, I decided to take a break for a bit and spend some real down time with my loved ones who are always surrounding me. Despite the hectic schedule I had to deal with, I am blessed with a bunch of wonderful family and friends who were concerned of my well-being. 

When my blog went off the radar for a while, some friends emailed me to ask if everything was going well. Some called and whatsapp-ed asking if something was not alright. Truth is, I was feeling down and negative for a while back there. I was not my usual happy self. I do not feel like talking about it at all. It was not something I would want to share with the world nor was it something meant to be remembered. We all had our down moments, I too was blessed with it for a while back there. That was when I decided to disconnect from a number of things for a while. I needed that space and I got what I asked for. That space to be left alone for a while and get my focus back together.

It was a good break. A break I needed to drown myself with matters that I have always focused on; what I love and the people who truly cared. 

I spent time catching up on my much needed sleep. Found some comedy which I never knew existed. I look through the interior design magazines to refresh my ideas on how cozy my room should be as well as areas I could work on. I love my room, it is my sanctuary. I enjoyed my time with my cousin and niece. They got me to download snapchat and we crazily created funny nonsense. My parents and my friends got hooked on it and we could not stop laughing at ourselves. Oh and I also got back to indulged in some of the country's yummiest home baked desserts (like the one featured above).

Honestly, I was having a ball of a time. I reconnected with people who had always stood by my side through thick and thin since forever. I witnessed the wonderful blessings I was bestowed with, Masya Allah. I could not have asked for things to be better than it already is. Surely, if we constantly open our eyes wide enough to see, we will always be able to see the beauty in everything as well as the blessing in every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. 

And now, it is time to move forward and leave the negativity behind.

To another new chapter.

Bismillah.
