I love seeing myself handling things better than my old self would have

As time goes by, you become less active on social media compared to before. For some, you only post when you want and can, because you have other commitments. Some people may have missed your updates, and you might have missed theirs.

It's okay. We’ve learned not to care as much because as we grow, we just crave peace. We should have a better understanding by now – we’re adults with limits, and everyone has their own life. Appreciate the little things. Some of us just want to lay low and post what we like, not keeping up with trends, just living life and posting for memories.

It is what it is, while it lasts.

We can't always stay in touch with everyone anymore; it can be exhausting. Be kind to everyone and to yourself. Do your best, let go, and let God. There are things that, if they're truly our priorities, we should fight for and find ways to keep in our lives. Life is too short to let go of people or things that have been there for us. But for the sake of our peace, sometimes we have to accept when things happen and say, "Well, you know what, things happened. Qadarullah wa maa shaa’fa’al – Allah made it happen, and whatever He wills, He does. He knows best while we don’t."

See the good in everything and be grateful. People make mistakes with us, and we’ve made mistakes with others. If we’re in the wrong, we should ask for forgiveness. And if we seek peace, we should forgive. Allah is just. Don’t worry. As we grow older, let's not foolishly sacrifice what we have or our inner peace to fight for things that are uncertain. If others leave, there's no replacement.

Whoever remains, remains. That’s it.

What’s done is done. Let it be. There’s always wisdom behind it.

“…Perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.” – (2:216)
