The New Year

My girlfriend wished me "Salam maal hijrah" this morning. I was puzzled. Never in my life have I heard that phrase before. After some searches, I found out it's the Islamic new year today (which will starts after the sun sets).

I admit that I was never close to religion. I saw it as a hassle..even to the extend of it being a burden to fellow individuals. I just totally could not embrace it. Perhaps that explains the troubled and disturbed posts. I have no spiritual guidance and my soul is empty. Even with strict pious parents, I managed to wriggle out of this tight grip. 

But this was all in the past. I'm trying all I can to improve and change to a better person. Maybe to be even called a man and actually be one. 

Thank you, I'll take this as an opportunity to start anew.
