Another Fresh Start

Another fresh start.

And honestly, I thank God for this one.

Alhamdulillah, I’ve been given another chance — a new job, a new environment, and a new page to write on. After everything I’ve been through, this opportunity feels less like a win and more like a do-over. And maybe that’s exactly what I need right now.

This time, I’m making a promise to myself: not to give in to my inner thoughts.

I know now that there is no such thing as a perfect workplace. There will always be trade-offs — some small, some heavy. Expectations, personalities, pressure, misunderstandings. They come with the territory. What I want to change this time is not the environment alone, but how I respond to it.

I want to do my best and complain less.

I want to stay calm when things get messy.

I want to remind myself, again and again, that I am not defined by what others say about me. I am defined by how I see myself, how I show up, and how I choose to grow.

This time, I choose to believe in myself — even when it’s hard.

Even when doubts creep in.

Even when words feel heavier than they should.

I refuse to let words bring me down the way they used to. Instead, I want to meet people halfway where I can, and protect my peace where I can’t. Not everything needs a reaction. Not everything deserves my energy.

I’ve spent enough time victimising myself and blaming my surroundings. Maybe some of it was justified, maybe some of it wasn’t — but I know this: if the surroundings are bad, I need to create my own. One built with boundaries, self-respect, and faith.

So yes, this is me choosing positivity — not the toxic kind, but the intentional one. The kind that acknowledges pain, learns from it, and still hopes for the best.

Please pray for me as I step into this new chapter.

I pray that I won’t just survive, but truly thrive in 2026.

Amin. 🤍
