Dear present self,

I know that you are tired currently, exhausted a little, and tensed too much. But you know that your future self is going to be so proud of you. The courage, the gallantry, and the patience you’re enduring today are remarkable and outstanding.
Just a few years later, you’ll be smiling back at your younger self with pride. You’ll be glad that you didn’t give up. You continued voyaging through all the tides. Above all, Allah has helped you infinitely. 
So, just know that whatever is happening, it’s all enfolding in your favour.
