And then there will be trials..

Do you have days when you really, really want to express something, but you simply couldn't find the words? Do you have days when you really, really thought that everything would be fine and no one would mind, so you took every single thing for granted?

I have those days. And I've been having them for quite some time now.

I've disappointed many by thinking that I could easily get away when I blog using others' ideas, modified them accordingly to fit my life, and took the credits for myself. I've learned a lot since then and now, I came to realize that what I did, was indeed plagiarism. I should have given the credits to whom they belong and I should have done that a long time ago. It was my fault entirely, due to my poor judgement and ignorance.

In any case, I am deeply sorry for all of this. I apologize to readers. I apologize to everyone that may have felt cheated by me passing someone else's work as my own. And I apologize to those whom trust I've betrayed. There are a lot of pressure involved in everything that you do these days, and blogging is no exception. I may have gotten so overwhelmed and I know surely now, that I wasn't thinking right. And I have to own up to my mistakes.

But most of all, I apologize to all those bloggers' whom copyrights I've violated. Personal emails had been sent to each and one of them a while ago. And they have been nothing but sweet, encouraging, and they appreciated my apologies, for which I thank them profusely. Although I know that I was (am still) blatantly wrong in so many ways, I'm just hoping that someday.. I will be able to look back on all of this and have a good hearty laugh at myself.

From a different note, as I've mentioned in my previous posts, this Ramadan has taught me a lot and never in my life have I felt calmer than I am now today. Trials are blessings from Allah swt, and with His guidance, I hope to always remain patient, to always prepare myself for the hereafter, and to always remember that I will be meeting Him soon.

And last but definitely not least, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who had been personally emailing/texting me, with nothing but kindness, generous hearts and advises. I appreciate them a lot.

May Allah grant you all the good in this life and the next.

Sincerely,
Aimie
