Dream Out of Reach My Journey (Episode 2) | by Binte- Arfan | Aug, 2025
(A True Chapter of My Life – A Real Story of My Journey)
I was sitting quietly, holding a handkerchief tightly in my hand. Tears rolled down silently, and in that moment, the world around me felt distant. My heart whispered, “Why me?” but my faith reminded me, “Allah writes only what is best for you.”
This is a true chapter of my life. I had just completed my Intermediate exams and with all my courage, I applied for admission. But things didn’t unfold the way I had imagined. It felt as if the doors I wanted to open were still locked, waiting for the right key.
My friends were moving ahead, some securing admissions in well-known institutes, in Lahore or UVAS Ravi Campus Pattoki, pursuing fields like MLT and Biotechnology. I clapped for them, I celebrated them, but deep inside, I wondered: “When will it be my turn?”
It was never about jealousy. I was happy for every success around me. Yet, my heart carried the quiet ache of being left behind. I smiled outside, but my soul carried questions no one could hear.
I reminded myself: life is not a race. It is a test of patience, trust, and timing. Maybe Allah is protecting me from something unseen, or preparing me for something greater.
At night, when worries fill my mind, I whisper to myself: “One day, these tears will turn into gratitude. One day, I’ll look back and understand why this pause was necessary.”
And I want to say to all of you, you can give me your advice, your thoughts, or just share your own experiences – I will truly appreciate your guidance.
This is not the end of my story. This is just one chapter, a chapter where dreams paused, but faith grew stronger. The next episode will bring what Allah has written for me, and I will share it with you too.
And truly, I cannot forget how much love you all gave me on Episode One. That warmth is still with me. As I write these words, I feel as if I am not alone in this journey. Your duas, your advice, even a few words of encouragement, they mean the world to me. Maybe by clapping, commenting, or sharing my story, you are holding my hand silently and saying: “Keep going, you’re not alone.”
