STRONG ENOUGH

Tonight, I’ll go back to Jakarta leaving the city I’ve
been into for the last 2 years. When I went to perform subh prayer with Upi, we
talked about this very last day we’ll stand in the same land. I said to her,
“but it’s kinda surprising that we’re much stronger than we thought before,
right?”
I mean, we usually are gloomy even when we separated
for 2 months during semester break. Lol. But these days, since each of us is
busy about moving out (I’m to Jakarta and Upi to new boarding house), we don’t
have time to complain about the parting way which is right in front of us. We
don’t even have time to be sad over the separation and I know for sure, Allah
makes us able to face these new life chapters of ours. We don’t even have time
to properly feel our feeling and I know it happens so our hearts don’t ache. If
we look at the bigger picture, we’ll know that everything happens for a
reason—for our good.
I always believe that in the end, Allah always
provides us with sufficient strength to go through anything He has decided.
Be sure for whatever situation life puts you in, you’ll always be able to
survive. Believe that for whatever hardships ahead of you, you’ll always be
strong enough—never less. Allah knows our capacity has to be risen up to match
our dreams. Allah prepares us for what we’ve been prayed for. That’s why He
sends us difficulties so we’ll be tougher and worth the blessing. And Allah
also sends us strength hand-in-hand with the trials.
So please never say to yourself that you couldn’t
handle the fate. We’re always among much stronger, slightly stronger, or at
least as strong as it’s needed. We’re never less than able to survive through
all the battles we have. Allah Himself said “Allah does not burden a
soul beyond that it can bear” (QS 2:286). We survived every single
tribulation we had in the past. We’ll survive what’s ahead too.
Upi and I will be apart but we know that it happens
for a good reason. We also know that we’re strong enough to stand for our
dreams in different ways. We’ll meet again somewhere and somehow in the
better circumstance. Aamiin.
Ps: I wrote this based on my story with Upi but
actually, it represented my feeling to all the people who are close to me in
Lampung: Aini, Dita, Pak Rajino’s family, Pak Usep's family, Pak Bandi's
family, etc.
