Attachments
A car.. old letters.. old pictures.. a bracelet.. earrings.. a mobile phone.. if, la sama7 Allah, there’s a fire.. What’s the one thing that you’d grab before you run out? What’s the one thing you’d get upset over losing?Over the years, we develop attachments to certain material objects and even to certain people. When we lose them, we get upset or even depressed. We can’t believe that we’ve lost them/it. And while yes, we may never realize how truly we miss something until we lose it, why do we get so attached?
Allow me to strip away all emotions and feelings aside. Aren’t we bound to lose everything at some point? Life isn’t endless. Everything and everyone will eventually cease, whether we like it or not.
I guess over the years I’ve built up some sort of resistance or tolerance. If I lose something, then so what? Why get so bent out of shape over something materialistic? Because it has sentimental value? O ba3dain..? It’s not like getting upset will change the reality of it. Besides, I’ve got memories to remind me of things that are precious and things that I cherish.
Friends drift away? That’s part of life. People come into our life to serve a certain purpose. Sometimes they stay for a long time, sometimes only temporarily. Whatever that purpose is, just thank God that they played a role. If they disappear, then life, believe it or not, will go on.
We hold on to the past, forgetting that life is continuous. It doesn’t stop, not for you and not for anyone else.
I know I sound heartless. At the end of the day, what matters is what we CAN take with us. It’s not how much money we made, how big of a house we live in, how many friends we’ve made, nor how many possessions we have. It’s how people view us and remember us, our deeds, and how we lived our life.

Laish?
Why is it that we never know what we’ve got till it’s gone?

The Distance
Are you laughing
While I cry?
Are you meeting people
While I say goodbye?
Is the sun shining?
Does it look like rain?
Can you feel my emptiness?
Can you sense my pain?
Are you laying in bed,
Dreaming your cares away?
While I rise to greet the sun,
And face another day?
Is the love we have,
Still in existance?
Or did we lose it all
Through the distance..?
