Abbu used to love this song. He had all of Noor Jahan’s songs saved on his phone. Every day, he would make a list and ask me or my sister to help him find new ones. I had buried these memories away so deeply, but when I heard this song a few days ago, it brought everything back. I was suddenly in his room again, holding that list of songs he wanted, sitting beside him as we listened together, him humming and me just watching him in awe. It almost feels like he’s about to send me a message now asking for another song to be downloaded.

Took a while for me to move on from this view.

10 Days
170 Kilometres
13 Kg on my back
Solo in the mountains
Tour du Mont Blanc ✅

The TMB has over 10,000m of elevation gain and loss. I hiked 6 to 7 hours a day, choosing my pace carefully. When you are alone, you have to take every step carefully. I was extra careful about my diet, taking ORS, dry fruits and also stopping when my body asked me to stop, which is why it took me 10 days. Otherwise it can also be done in much less days but my body didn't allow me to do so, so I stopped and camped when I couldn't go further. Wild camping is restricted in many parts, so the route had to be planned with care.

This trek meant more to me than just the mountain. In 2023, before moving to Europe for my master’s, I had a near-fatal injury, a tree fell on my head, causing brain clots and internal bleeding. I couldn’t even hike a day after that without feeling dizzy. I thought I’d lost the mountains forever.

After graduation, I promised myself that I’ll do a long trek. I’d always dreamed of climbing Mont Blanc but I don't physically feel ready for it yet after my injury, and when I found the TMB route circling it, I knew I had to do it. It felt like a dream, just like the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. I spent weeks researching, buying gear, and preparing. But even with everything ready, I was scared, of my thoughts, of my past, of failing again. I was scared what if I start to feel dizzy again and I am alone with no one to help. But I really thought about it and made myself a promise that if at any point I felt I can't do it, I would come back. I will not force it. This gave me a bit of comfort and I went.

Some days, the backpack felt heavier just like my emotions. Other days, it felt lighter as I let things go.

I realised in those moments that my body never gave up, it was my mind, playing tricks on me.

This trek was a reminder that if I can do this alone, I can do anything.

More adventures to come, Inshallah.

Thank you for always supporting my dreams 💛

For a very long time, I've felt like a mess.
Abu's death took away a big part of who I used to be. Since then, it feels like I’ve been constantly grieving. Nothing in the world makes much sense anymore.

When Abu passed away, I wasn’t able to see him. And because of that, in my memory, he’s still here. I don’t know if that’s a blessing or a curse.

The other day, I was talking to a very good friend and I told him how angry I was that I couldn’t be there. He said something that really helped me process the pain.
He told me, “You weren’t there because God knew you wouldn’t be able to see him like that. You were protected. Your siblings were there because they couldn’t deal with being away.”

That stayed with me. It gave me a little release from the burden I've been carrying.

Everyone told me, I was strong. I didn’t react the way people usually do. I cried for a little while, then tried to move on and tried to live like he was still around. I think, in a way, I stopped believing he was really gone. With Ammi, it feels more real. I saw her. I said goodbye. But Abu… I never saw him for the last time.

Maybe I wasn’t the strong one after all.
Maybe that’s exactly why I wasn’t there.

I’m slowly making peace with the fact that I don’t have to be strong all the time. I’m allowed to be weak. And maybe that’s its own kind of strength.
