The Mystery of 2021

Hi and assalamualaikum everyone,

Assalamualaikum means peace be upon you all.

Beautiful, isn’t it?

I don’t really have a title for this,
but I want to say that 2021 feels mysterious to me.

After 2020 turned our world upside down—

2021 feels… calmer.

It has been a full year since the world entered quarantine.
One year of living inside uncertainty.
One year of learning how fragile everything really is.

And yet—

Something feels different now.

The world seems to be cooling down.
Maybe because vaccination has started.
Maybe because people are learning how to live with uncertainty.

It almost feels like we passed one phase.

Life slowly comes back.
The weather feels kinder.
The urge to travel returns.
Schools reopen.
Routines begin to breathe again.

But sometimes I ask myself—

Is it really over?
Or are we just learning how to live with it?

Well, nevertheless…
we live on, don’t we?

So to everyone who made it this far—

Congratulations.
You are strong.
Stronger than you realize.

But let us stay cautious.
As always.

Because probability still exists.
The world still moves in waves.

Now, we enter the next phase.

Hold on tight.
Keep going.
Take care of yourself and others.

And for now—

Stay home.
