Dear Faiezah,

as he leaves for his trip the next morning, please do not cry.keep reminding yourself that he will be going for a good cause and he deserves the graduation trip after that. you do not want to be held back by anyone or anything (other than Allah swt) and you should not wish unto others what you do not wish for yoursrself. Be strong, Faz. Love, after all, cannot be about restriction. You should be able to share your dreams and grow together. Think of Khadijah R.A and how she supported Prophet Muhammad S.A.W towards his mission. Yes, you are in a situation less dire or important as theirs had been.Even so, Khadijah R.A is a woman to be respected and exemplified. Be strong, Faz.

Regards,

Dear Your Rational Self,

I will definitely try my best. It is hard not to miss a person whom I can b*tch to always, who knows my moods so well that I can never hide a sour face, who sings just as horribly as me, who's there for random smses and nightly chats, who means so much to me really. Still, I think I will be alright though I appreciate your concern. Moments shared can never be enough but for the next few weeks, I should have enough memories to keep me sane and composed. 

I just pray now that he be kept safe, together with the rest of his team, and they all return with the beautiful experience that I had last year.

Amin.

Cheers,
Faiezah
