Throughout my life, I’ve come to understand that every decision comes with its own risks. Not all of these choices have led to happy or successful outcomes. Some have resulted in bitterness, causing me to lose valuable opportunities and even become disliked or cursed by people who once cared for me.

But I don’t regret it for a long time. Remember that everything happened because of God’s will. I would console and talk to myself: nobody is perfect and knows everything.

I also believe there must be ease after hardship. After going through one or two weeks of disappointment, let’s get up again. That is the philosophy that I have lived by so far.

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So, surely with hardship comes ease.
