Dear Fareedah...

for the days you feel tired, and the nights you keep going anyway.

There is someone I need you to pau…

There is someone I need you to pause for.

Her name is Fareedah Olawoyin… on here, she goes by “Auric quill”

You may not know her.

You may have never come across her page.

But right now, she is in a season many of us understand too well.

Exams.

The kind that drain you quietly.

The kind that sit heavy on your chest before you even open your books.

The kind that make even the things you love feel distant.

And lately, her words have been carrying that weight.

The exhaustion.

The tiredness.

The quiet “I am trying” that not everyone hears.

So today, I am not asking you to do much.

Just pause.

And if you can, whisper an Aameen… pls, do.

Because somewhere out there, someone needs it.

P.S: yes, I know this should have been a private matter, but no one knows whose Dua will be answered, so I'm imploring you to join me. That is not too much to ask for, right?

And to you reading this…

Thanks for sticking with me to the end and don't forget to say “Ameen,” and also, thanks for becoming part of someone’s ease.

May Allah answer for her…

and answer for you too. 🤍

To everyone going through any form of exam, school related or life related…

May the almighty ease your affairs.
