“Suha's Dairy” “Life must go on”

The class test in history actually went okay.

Better than okay, truth be told.

Suha had somehow pulled forgotten dates and names from the corners of her mind, and the history teacher had even given her a small nod of approval as she collected the papers.

“Who would've thought? A class test, something that completely derailed her morning plan, had turned out to be a decent start to the day.”

“It wasn't just the test. Other day, during lunch, her friend, who was running late that morning, showed up with an extra cookie from the cafeteria, a peace offering.”

: Sorry about ditching you earlier. *Guilty*

: (handing over the warm chocolate chip.)

Suha had planned to walk to school alone, maybe feeling a little sad, but instead, she got a surprise cookie and a shared warm smile.

“Suha forgave her friend long ago.”

“She isn't a girl who holds filthy feelings.”

“She was taught to forgive people instead of blaming, condemning, or even punishing the offender, sometimes even seeking to avenge the act by holding a grudge.”

“Taught to be kind Instead of being a person who is cruel, mean, harsh, unkind, or even heartless, showing a complete lack of kindness.”

“Taught to be honest instead of being dishonest.”

“Taught to be humble instead of being arrogant.”

“To control herself from being impulsive and ignorant.”

“Being responsible, not to be irresponsible.”

“Taught to work diligently instead of being lazy.”

“Being positive, trustworthy, soft, gentle, and patient instead of being negative, unreliable, rough, harsh and impatient.”

As she walked home, she thought about it, the practical grey scarf keeping her neck warm against the unexpected breeze.

“Life really did throw curveballs, but sometimes those curveballs landed you right where you needed to be.”

She learned that maybe the stain on her blue scarf was a good thing; the grey one was definitely warmer. Maybe her friend running late meant she is getting an extra cookie.

It made her wonder if all those tiny shifts, the sudden changes that messed up her carefully laid plans, weren't always bad.

“Sometimes, when something didn't go the way she expected, something else, often something better, popped up instead.”

“It was like life had this beautiful way of rearranging itself, and even if it felt inconvenient at first, it often worked out in the end, or even opened up a new, better path she hadn't even considered.”

“There was a kind of peace in knowing that, in trusting that even when things went off script, there was usually a reason, a different kind of good waiting to be found.”

“Life keeps moving forward because it's full of new beginnings and opportunities, even after setbacks. Every ending is also a fresh start, a chance to learn, grow, and discover something unexpected and positive.”
