I head back to university this Monday after an 8 month hiatus. This is essentially my second last term insha Allah and if all goes according to plan, I should be graduating in December. But this is certainly not the end of line. I'll be back for a second degree insha Allah but meanwhile, I need some time away in the real world.
I feel like Frodo at the base of Mount Doom. A journey worth a thousand pages with tales of grief and joy alike. Those that started alongside have already left save a handful who stay, afraid of the unknown. I've overstayed my welcome too but my time is not far.
Yet, a part of me is happy that it all comes to an end. The challenges have become old and the routine has begun to drag me down. A new phase of life awaits and best of all, new challenges. My wings have just grown full.
