Hello lovely human beings,

My Ferragamo days are over. I decided to quit as I just thought that I needed a break to catch up on my books and most importantly, on sleep. I then started reading my Divergent book which I had my bookshelf since forever...and the next think I know, I was hooked. So as expected, my next few days consisted mostly of sleepless nights and endless cups of tea, which of course is utterly and significantly pivotal if you are a reader like me. I completed Divergent and Insurgent in three days and I'm now on Allegiant, which, I have been reading for days..and now I have somehow put it to a halt. I know I know *guilty as charged*. It's not because it's boring. Well, okay it's a little slow-paced but the reason why I put it to a pause for the time being is because I've spending way too much time on my new found love - Teen Wolf!


It has three seasons in total, and I am still at the first season. I cannot even begin to comprehend how amazing it is! And Jackson...oh sweet Lord Jackson. (real life name Colton Haynes). It is beyond amazing and it never ceases to unleash my inner fangirl whenever Jackson comes on screen and leave me wanting to click "next episode".


So recently, life's been a ferris wheel. Alright, that's quite a terrible analogy but truth be told, my mind's been a total mess since I've left school. Everything's been quite disorienting. I never thought I would say this but it's truly hard to get on with life with a broken social circle, well if that made any sense. I miss my friends. I miss how everything used to fall in place so nicely. How we all shared jokes and food and stressed over exams. Now, it's all dead and gone. And it hurts, quite frankly.

I am completely aware that different people have different desires, wants and point of views. And often, when there are such conflicting perspectives, fights and disagreements are bound to occur as one's expectation's might not be met. This sounds a little like history, doesn't it? How communism and capitalism can never get along because both have a mindset in which they are more superior than the other and thus feel that they deserve better and feel things that should go their way. In addition, when this happens, it will cause them to be and feel segregated. There is no chance for them to get to know about each other and to settle things once and for all. And if there's one thing I learn about at my own home, it's that you can be the sweetest and juiciest strawberry in the world but there will still be someone out there who will despise strawberries aka my bro. (10 points for my cool analogy)

That is what's happening currently. Segregation's a massive bitch. And for better or for worse, I do not wish to be stuck in a middle of a crossfire anymore.

I have to admit, I used to harbour a grudge on someone because I just felt that she was taking everything and everyone away from me. I just felt that it was her fault that I am drifting away from some of my friends. One day all of a sudden, the realisation dawned. Many questions started racing through my mind about this feeling of hatred. What benefit will it bring? Nothing. Hatred is pointless. It is absolutely draining. It fills you in with an overwhelming anger which will constantly put you in a horrible mood. Hatred will turn you into a terrible person. My mom also recently brought me to this Islamic lecture. I can't exactly remember what his name is but all I could remember was that he said when such feelings arise, perform the ablution (wudhu). I have been working on removing the negativity from my heart. This dominating feeling of anger, the frustration, the self-loathing, the heartache, the darkness. And it works. And true enough, after I did it, I felt a whole lot better. Like I finally got that constant heavy feeling that weighs my heart down off my chest.

Thus, I choose to forgive and forget. No more hatred against anyone. No more grudges. It isn't worth it. I thank divine providence everyday for making me come to my senses.

Let the smiles and laughters overshadow the tears. Let the love overcome the heartbreaks.

And to my wonderful clique, if any of you are reading this, I still love all of you no matter what and don't forget me in your prayers, as I remember every single of you in mine.

My heart is too valuable to allow hatred and jealousy to rent a spot.



I might not be able to switch off the rapidfire of thoughts or the waging war in my mind but I can choose to not let it consume my mind and let it get the best of me.

Update on life: I miss studying literature, social studies and history.

I wanted to post about The Book Thief and the Divergent trilogy, but I guess I'll just leave that to the next post.

With that being said, thanks for reading my rants, have a wonderful day ahead.
