Do not grieve
Sad? Of course who wouldn't be if you were to see that sort of results. What is more disheartening is the fact that I have to go on for another year. That in itself is crap and I have to waste more $$ and time just to get my degree. I feel sad that I am already a burden to my family by not working but also if I don't get my degree, I am still a burden as well. Lose-lose situation.
Jealous? Of course I am jealous of others. On the flipside, I look at their past and somehow see their struggles (just barely on the surface) and think maybe they do deserve that. Who knows what they must have felt, the thoughts. I draw strength knowing that probably there is a way.
Curing my sadness by returning to faith. If all the worldly things cannot somehow cure my sadness, maybe my faith will.
“La Tahzan Innallaha Ma’ana” … Don’t be sad; indeed, Allah is with us. [Qur’an 9:40]
