I thought about leaving the conversation, i never really felt too comfortable anyway..
I realised why sins aren't really good for you. Infact their harmful for us, that's the only reason Allaah forbids us from approaching them. And the only reason Allaah gives us the freedom of choice is to test us, whether we will do good to please Him, or do evil and harm our own selves, in this life and the hereafter. And still, He is willing to forgive us so long as we turn to Him whole heartedly.
I gradually increased in my trust in Allaah, my love for Him. Since He had helped me through this whole trial, and He never forgot me even though i had forgot Him, and even myself.
‘The real prisoner is someone whose heart is imprisoned from his Lord; the true captive is someone captured by his passions.’
I could totally relate to that now.. so i moved forward. It was a gradual process, but i could feel that my heart never felt as restricted as it used to before. I felt at ease, secure, safe.. happy, and content. Something i had wished for, for a long time now.. that innocent feeling.
Then i remembered, A! I wanted a fresh start, so what was i supposed to do if i still had a part of my past clinging on to me?

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).
[Qur'an 2: 256-7]
Ibn Taymiyya, a famous scholar said something amazing:Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).
