Ramadan Mubarak

I asked for strength.

God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom.

God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity.

God gave me brawn and brain to work.

I asked for courage.

God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience.

God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.

I asked for love.

God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favors.

God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted.

I received everything I needed.

question

WE FINALLY MET AGAIN AFTER TWO YEARS. AND I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID THAT I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING, I DID ... BUT THE FEELING WAS KIND OF LIKE MEETING AN OLD FRIEND AFTER A LONG TIME, NOT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. AND AS OUR EYES MET, AS WE SPOKE, ALL I KEPT THINKING WAS ... WHO WAS IT THAT I FELL SO IN LOVE WITH?

IT REALLY WAS ME, WASN'T IT?

MY LIGHT ... MY BEAUTY ... MY STRENGTH. I'M THE ONE WHO GAVE HIM SO MUCH IMPORTANCE. I'M THE ONE THAT GAVE HIS WORDS MEANING. WITHOUT ME, HE BECOMES THE PERSON HE ALWAYS WAS - A BROKEN MAN, LIVING A LOVELESS LIFE.

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

i remember he once said to me, "yasmin you're the type of person that always looks back." and of course, my immediate response was, "is that a good or a bad thing?" to which he replied, "neither. that's just who you are."

not anymore ... not anymore.

question

HUMAN BEINGS ARE SUCH DISSAPOINTING CREATURES, AREN'T WE?

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

so tired of looking for love in all the wrong places...
