Dear Salima,
Things are ever changing. The stars are not aligned for the world this year it seems (what I have learned from watching Indian Matchmaking).
I have moved out of Wales. Me and Noor have been living together for just over a week. I have taken a month off in August. I am about to start specialty training in September which is what the last 4 years of my life have been leading to.
It’s all rather exciting. Moving to a new city (just by the beach, Muscat vibes minus the heat and karak). Reunited with Noor (yes, we are annoying each other 24/7 but how boring would it be if we got along all the time).
July has been such a good month. I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of people at work when I was leaving. Eid came by, but instead of looking at it that I was spending it away from home and family, I felt grateful for spending it with my second family in the small town I was in. Leaving Wales was difficult but I felt really loved.
I do miss home immensely.
Things I appreciate about myself:
- I am straightforward. Although, I can be that to a fault. But I have come to see it as a positive. I don’t know how to lie even if my life depended on it.
- I am passionate. About anything and everything.
- Figuring out how to adult. I am starting to get the hang of it and force myself to do all the boring tasks that need doing. (Noor will disagree and say she did the flat hunt and all that needed doing for our move)
PS. Your stories on social media always bring me joy. You also add class to my timeline.
Yours forever and ever,
Huda
