Nothing
is permanent.
The
thing we always forget about life is that it is NOT permanent.
Everyone will have to face death. It is a destination that no one can
escape. Like cathching a plane to a destination. Once you broad that
plane, no other way but to arrive at the destination where
you are suppose to land at. As Muslims, we believe that we are not
just human on a spiritual journey, but we are merely spirits on a
human journey. And eventually that human journey will end. And it's
okay. Yes, it's heart breaking. But it will happen. Accepting
death is a way for you to acknowledge there is a greater power that
somehow looks after you. The only story is how you die. And that is a
whole other story.
I
love you, you don't love me
In
life, some people might not like you. And you might not like everyone
in the world. And that's totally normal. Back then, I had a really
hard time trying to accept this. I'd try hard to fix things up if one
of my friends has an issue with me. But after trying for too long, I
think that you can't force everyone or anyone to love you and like
you. You just have to let time takes its course and let things go. If
it's written in the stars that you guys are meant to be friends /
partners / lovers, it will happen.
Fail,
Fail and Fail
When
I was in uni, we have this subject, Design, which is the most
important subject that takes so much time, energy, sweat and tears
for any architecture student. Every semester we'll see so many
students failing this subject. I have seen some friends giving up and
took up another course after they failed design. But some still
soldier on even after they failed. I think that people should not be
afraid of failure. Learn from your failures and move on to your next
challenge. You failed once, learn from it and do better the next
time. If you're not failing, you're not growing. We heard stories
about how WD40 and the light bulb were invented. If they had given up
after their first try, we'd never have all the inventions that makes
our lives easier.
Ahh...Envy.
You're lying if you never felt this before. A girl you know with the
perfect handbag, with her perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect perfect
perfect life. You'd watch her from far wishing that you can have her
life. But that's normal. Because in life other people with have
better rezeki than you. And they will always have more than what you
have. But that should not stop you from being grateful with what you
have. You can't possibly get EVERYTHING you want right away. Work for
it. Insyaallah, things will go your way. And if you still feel
envious towards the perfect girl's shoes, think about how blessed you
are to be able to buy shoes for your feet, when some people don't
even have feet.
Some
friends may not be BFF always
Friends.
Wow. I can't imagine not having any. I don't have a lot. I can count
them with my fingers. Including my toes lah. I figured that
collecting a lot of friends or having 10000 friends on your Facebook
list, means nothing if your friends bitch about you behind your back.
Or spread rumours about you. Or tell other people that you talk in
your sleep. So, it's okay if you have very few friends. I keep my
friends close, the ones who stick by me during my darkest days. A
friend stayed with me for almost two weeks in HUKM when my dad
suffered a really horrible stroke attack. A couple of friends stayed
up late at night to help me with my design during my final year just
to make sure I'll graduate with them. Friends come and go. But real
great friends stay with you forever.
Nobody
can change your life except for yourself
Well,
duh.
