Short Reflection

It spring upon you when you least expect it, and it leaves you with a feeling of desolation. It's unexplainable, yet effortless to feel.

Most people perceive loneliness to be brought upon without the presence of others, but really I think it's more then that. I think it's the unprecedented silence that shakes you, that tells you that you;re not truly comfortable with yourself. That leaves you feeling like you've been punched in the gut. It's the silence that makes you think "Am i really happy with the way i'm leading my life? Am I content with my decisions? Or have my decisions been made on a whim to please other who I think by pleasing that I will make myself happy?"

There's no need to beat around the bush when it comes to issues like these. Because prolonging the much needed thought required to move past these issues will only increase the anxiety towards such thoughts. I have not mastered dealing with such thoughts. They send me off the edge, feeling like I have no control in my life, when the reality is that many things in my life aren't in my control. I can only do the best I can and leave the rest up to God.

And that's where I falter. My faith in God has weakened since high school. I no longer read the Quran daily. I still pray daily but at some point it just becomes a thoughtless habit. We get so stuck to our routines that we rarely question the reasoning behind it. And if I made a conscious effort to pray, to please the Lord, to bring me closer to him, to feel the sweetness of faith, to know that he's got my back no matter what, then the loneliness would go away. And that's the beauty of Islam. It gives you the reassurance you need to push forward with life. even when you're unsure with the direction your life has taken. you do what you can and God does the rest. But until you have a strong grip, it's easy to falter.

This post, from today on, is a promise to myself to work hard to keep up my steadfast faith in God, because while I sometimes lose track of my religion, it is what gives me my morals and helps me sleep at night, knowing that I've made the right decisions, and I love it for that. May my love for God, and for all the other Muslims out there, never falter. <3

All my life I dreamed about someone loving me for me. For who I was. Just me. Is it asking too much to want to be loved? To look into someone’s eyes and see… And see tenderness. To know that he truly wants to be with you and share his life with you.

Example of how my friends and family are too good to me… I ordered quite a few books last month for my birthday and they finally arrived! YESS.
