Hashtag 10 Year Challange
🙋🙋
Lately, we have seen this hashtag "10yr Challenge" flooding all social media platforms. I think its a good hashtag. So today, I am going to fulfill this hashtag by reflecting my last 10 years...
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
10years ago, this blog is already up & running. I started blogging mainly and solely because I needed a place to express myself without being judged. Even though I have been away for the past 6yrs, I am determined to pick-up the pieces & start again.
See.. I am rambling again 😅
I have noticed after going through this blog, I find that 10yrs ago, for the first few months of 2009 at least, I was still a rather(or seems like) an optimistic person. I see the good in everything even though I knew they weren't. I was giving everyone the benefit of the doubt.
2009 was also a major turning point of my life. My husband's, my girls, Us. That year, our house was caught in a fire. The incident left a big scar in our lives, me & my husband's, in my girls lives & my sister's live. Many may not know this but, at that time, we were renting my sister's house. She moved away & she didnt want the house to be empty so, she offered us to move-in. It was a beautiful house, but alas...
After that incident, me & my husband were left clueless on how we should continue living. We were left penniless. We only manage to safe our girls birth certificates. All other things were lost and burnt to the ground. Amidst it alI, I am so thankfull that Allah hasnt taken our lives that night. We were all safe, me, my husband, my beautiful babies... Its as if Allah is giving us a second chance in life. Its like Allah wants us to do a better do-over in raising our girls & in becoming better person. Now, alhmadullilah, we manage to rent a place to live & we have been here almost 10years now. 😌😌
Fast forward to a few years later, I received another shocking news, my husband was diagnosed suffering a Heart Attack. I was really shocked. I was mostly scared. So scared to carry on living. I didnt know how to raise my girls without him because he was a major part of my life. Sure we have argued and annoyed with one another but, he is my bestfriend. 😋✌During those sleepless nights, I realised that I need to "play" a psychology game with myself. So I kept saying over and over, "For him to get better, he needs to see that I am a strong person. To become a strong person, you mustn't tear-up in front of him. He needs to see this more than you think." Its weird right, trying to deceive your ownself but it works!! Not long after, he was diagnosed with an "acute angina" & not Heart Attack. He went to doctor's appointments, taken blood tests, did all kinds x-rays and scans available. Did it all, to this day not a single appointment or test that he missed. About 6-7 years later (2018) I found out that I am Diabetic and on medication. Thankfully now, my doctor has put me on 1 medication only. And to be honest, I dont like taking any kind of medications. They are scary!!. 😅
I have come to realise that, 10 years is a long time. A very long time. Lots has happened during those times like..
New friends.
People we lost.
All of these, be it a small incident or a major incident, it still leaves an impact in our lives. In fact, it is still happening to us right now. This very instance. I guess what I am trying to say is that, this "10year challenge" hashtag is a good hashtag because we get to re-evaluate, a do-over on our life and hopefully change for the better.
Thats all for now, see ya 💋
