Today is the first day🗓 of February, marking the final stretch of winter❄️ The river is the true epitome of time⏳—never pausing, never slowing down, always forging ahead. I have assimilated this truth in the final days of freezing winter.

Somehow, the weather feels intangible—neither glacial🥶 nor cool😶‍🌫, lingering in transition. There are moments when you long to reclaim the days wrapped🎁 in happiness✨, yet there is no tendency for time to grant such luxuries. The only course is to simultaneously pursue happiness, push forward in life, step beyond your comfort zone, and ascend your career ladder🪜, for there is nothing you can simply blow out like a flickering flame.

That is why you must strive for yourself🫵. Seize every opportunity, make your parents and teachers proud👩‍❤️‍👩, and let your rivals burn down😄 in admiration. May this month indeed bring you success🏆, growth📈, and knowledge, and may Allah💫bless us with wisdom,and boundless opportunities.

Ramadan is just around the corner - only one month to go🌝
