If you love God, you can’t love only some of His children. — I still remember departing with my friends at the airport. I was going to leave them for good to start a new phase of my life. Amid the heavy goodbyes, one of my friends hugged me and said, “I respect you, dude.” There are moments in life that will stick…

Writers Have To Have Faith In The Process. — Peace be upon you, fellow writers. Allow me to introduce myself since it’s the first time I publish in “The Fellowship Writer”. My name is Abdul Azim, which means the Slave of The Greatest. I’m from Malaysia, currently pursuing my undergrad in New Zealand. I‘ve stayed far from home for…

The hardest part of ending is starting again — I remember sipping my hot coffee on a cold Sunday morning. Any normal person would pull on their blanket and sleep. But I kept myself busy. I write. Because I know, that if I write every day, I will turn metal into gold. But time flies, and commitment grows. I…

What I learned after working from home for three months — It’s been a while since I last commute to work. 1 year and a half to be exact. I did an internship with a local company near my home. I’d go out at seven in the morning and return at eight at night. Probably nine to be honest. It wasn’t…

You know, the ‘you-like-my-picture-I-like-yours’ kind of thing. Whenever I choose an article, it’s not from a genuine curiosity about…

Hint: Don’t do it, unless you really love her. — It was one hell of an experience, and I’m glad I did it! To give you a context, I graduated from university in December 2020 and had no job until April 2021. And my fiance and I planned to get married in June. I tried multiple ways of earning income…

The Artist’s Way exercise — healing of a sense of safety. — Before you continue reading, please know that this article is all about me. This violates the number #1 rule in writing: Focus on the reader. So you can stop reading here. But if you insist, don’t say I didn’t warn you. The Artist’s Way is a book with one goal…

Rediscovering the voice of a believer. — I have over 100 drafts on Medium. All of them starts with awesome ideas. I don’t know what is going on but I find it impossible to finish anything I started. It’s almost two months since I last hit publish. I won’t let the inner writer in me die. Not…
