Assalamualaikum dear brother and sister. I'm glad you're here, reading my blog when there are still not many people realizing the presence of this little internet home of mine. My name is Maiza. I was born in 1997. A Sabahan girl with a deep thought about life and other things too. A girl who sees overthinking as a blessing in disguise (only if you use it correctly). I love reading books, preferably non-fiction and I love to talk about them. Hmm, I think that's enough about me, let's talk more about why I build this little e-home of mine.

It was early 2020 when I decided to build this blog with an intention of self-recovery. That's when I found out that writing does help me organize things in my head. Unfortunately, it's not as helpful as I thought it would be. I've posted few entries on that year but I end up kept them in the archive 😅. For few months, this blog hibernating from the internet world. Then I came back in January 2021 with a new intention, which is to share beneficial things with my guest. When people visiting my e-home, I don't wanna pampered them with gossips or anything that's not healthy for their mood, spirituality, etc. Besides, I love sharing my perspective about what I read, and I'm very interested to know yours too. So, feel free to drop me a comment or send me an email if you wanna share anything.

I continue posting on this blog with the hope I'll be able to build a connection with people who wanna keep learning and improve themselves. Let's strive towards self-betterment together 💜.

With love,

What is success for you?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم | In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful | I've heard a lot of people saying that failure is what makes you successful. Back then, I thought that success is merely about the title that you've gained for yourself. What I mean by title here is your status in your education or your career. During that time, failure for me is very synonyms with exams, grades, and even your status in the eyes of our society. But then I come to realize that we can fail in many, many ways. Not only in exams. We can fail in controlling our anger, we can fail as a daughter/son, we can fail as a friend. If we can fail in so many ways, we can also succeed in many ways too. Life itself is a test anyway... . As long as you're breathing, you always have the chance to keep on trying, and trying and trying again, until you can successfully control your temper, successfully become a good daughter/son/friend/person, successfully love yourself. Yes, that's right...

Change your weaknesses into a blessing...

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم | In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful | *image from Pinterest (theprojecttwins.com)* Assalamualaikum everyone. I'm super excited to talk about today's topic which is about changing your weaknesses into a blessing. But before that, I wanna ask you one question. Have you ever think of your weaknesses as a blessing in disguise? Because I do. And I just realize that at the age of 23 (turning 24 soon). That idea put a smile on my face. You see, I've always been a terrible overthinker. I used to hate the fact that I've got a hard time sleeping at night, I've got a hard time staying focus in class, and I even ruined my relationship with people because my mind is too loud. Honestly, it makes me feel suffocated and restless. Maybe because I used to bottle things up a lot in the past. But Alhamdulillah, it's no longer that case anymore. . I read about this statement somewhere before, but too bad I don't remember where I s...

solitude can be addictive..

image from © Pinterest Assalamualaikum and Hi my beloved readers. I'm supposed to talk about my internship in this post, but suddenly something much more interesting caught my attention when I'm about to write today's entry. It's about the act of solitude. . A few years ago, when I was still in matriculation, I still remember I sketch a picture of a girl sitting on the floor, hugging her knees and hiding her face. Then I posted the picture on FB with the caption "I love being alone, but I hate being lonely." I drew it because I want to express my feeling at that moment. . Today, after so long, I started doing it again. I started isolating myself again. But the situation, the feeling is not the same as what I've been through a few years back. This time, I feel happy, calm and I was able to get to know myself better. "How is that possible?", I asked myself. I choose the act of solitude a few years back but I felt lonely and depr...
