Orang sekeliling selalu tanya,
"What kind of person do you look for...? Meh nak tolong carikan."
Sometimes I simply say...
"I don't know."
Sometimes,
"Someone like my Abah."
I'm looking for someone who is able to keep the balance, in almost everything.
Even if not, will always try to.
Someone who is...
Clear of what they want to achieve in life, and why they do it.
Someone who...
Works hard to get where they want in life, but knows when to take a rest.
Someone who...
Listens attentively to stories and dreams of people around them.
And their eyes lit up just as intense when it's their turn to talk about their passion.
Someone who is...
Very knowledgeable but believes there is always something new to learn everyday,
Someone who remains very humble and always wants to go for the knowledge.
Someone who would...
Challenge views - flip a coin, and it's an exciting conversation where we could go on and on!
Someone who is...
Firm in what they believe in, but always open to exchanges and discussions.
Someone with a heart so sensitive to the emotions in their surrounding, able to empathise with others but at the same time motivate and push someone else to keep their chins up.
Someone who is...
Vulnerable to share their feelings but not easy to break down in adversity.
Someone who could inspire people around them by being who they are.
Someone who is careful in their words and thoughtful in their actions.
Someone who is always looking on the bright side but embraces loneliness and darkness when necessary.
Someone who is always grateful for what they have, and appreciates the little things in life.
Someone who is contented with what Allah gives, but not complacent for they believe in what Allah is possible to reward His creations with.
Someone who when they have more, give more.
Someone who has ultimate faith in The Almighty as the Best of Planners, but tie their camels too.
Someone who tries to be a better version of themselves every day, in every aspect of themselves.
I'm not looking for someone who seems like the best in a room full of people,
but someone who, no matter what, will always try their best to keep moving.
...
I wrote this as a list of what I look for in someone.
Perhaps this is what I shall be working on too myself.
My duaa is that while I work on myself, I would find someone who'd share the same aspiration.
Amin.
My duaa after watching the Final Table,
especially after the Sea Urchin episode of "reaching out" to the treasure:
O Allah please grant me a Charles Michel
