Hello!
Just felt like it's an apt time to blog- we have half hour before we leave our hotel rooms for checkout before proceeding straight to the airport, me thinks.
I was sleeping between 7-8am, and guess what- (actually this happened last night too) i'm already having dreams about this trip and the group :')
I truly will miss this experience, it has tons of ups and downs- I think more than Mount Patirana can offer- but what matters is what we feel in the end.
And right this moment before we have to leave, I say I feel good.
Last night Abi ustaz thoha and family drove down to surabaya just to have teatime (at night eh hahah) with us, and that is such a sweet gesture.
The people in ishlah are so thoughtful and beyond themselves; I promise just being there makes you auto better yourself.
I hope all of us finds it in ourselves to carry the good habits home, afterall the best souvenirs are unseen.
This feels like home to me.
And although i'm probably the least involved in the team (cue lonerness) i'd dare say that this OE would have not been the same without each and every soul here.
I'm into the thought that everyone has a story we probably cannot have guessed from the surface, and it had been a true waste I spent 18 days together with them and have not gotten the chance to learn to understand them better.
But that's life, sometimes in fleetingness we dread and sometimes in dread, fleetingness goes on.
The trip could not have gone any other way try it might.
Alhamdulillah, Allah always has the best plans for us.
May all our deeds be accepted by Him.
I'll keep Al-ishlah in my prayers till the next time I visit- cause this is definitely insyaallah not the last!
No idea if I already said this but- ok wait I think I have but still- Happy fasting!
Wish me a safe trip home and a good hibernation session.
(NOT REALLY, SO MANY TRAININGS WAITING FOR ME HALP D:)
Ok I have 18 mins to get ready zzzz
ps fasting here feels so short hahaha back to 14 hours tonight goodluck mis amigos
