I haven't met any one who is not extremely dramatic, and that of course, includes myself.
Everybody exaggerates the importance of something that has no meaning at all. That's simply because what's important or sentimentally signifcant to somebody may be of no value at all to anyone else on the planet. Surely enough not everything is interpreted the same way by every human being, and our reactions are all the products of our interpretations.
So, you're turning the world upside down over something, driving everybody mad with your constant talking about it while no one seems to get what's blown away your mind this way. And then you realize that the problem all along has been that you were always turning to people who, no matter how close to you they are, they can't always care or feel the joy or the grief that a particular something brings to you.
To Allah, we were meant to turn. To ask for consolation, for understanding. Who would understand better than our Creator? Who would know better how to lighten our burdens? Who would see through every thought we have without even uttering a word to explain it? With Him it's enough to kneel and plead for forgiveness and assistance, or cry joyfully words of gratefulness and thankfulness, and rest to sure that you've been heard and understood without need for further elaborations.
I'm trying to learn the art of strength. The art of ridding myself of waiting on people and hastening to Allah. An overwhelming feeling of weakness that is, and I can't find strength anymore while leaning on humans, most of all while leaning on myself. I am seeking assurance and peace of mind, seeking a reason, seeking an incentive, and they exist only where I most forget to look.
Humans are forgetful. A fact that excuses us for many of our sins, but turns against us when we forget the great power that watches over us. We keep looking in all the wrong places and in our forgetfulness, we forget that we already know where to look.
This time I want to remember. I've found my forgotten treasure.
Read this one sometime;

I've read that like a year ago ya Fatemah.. Strange how you'd always know something and yet at some moment you realize that though you've "known" it, you have never really came to fully perceiving it. Some of us need to learn their lessons the hard way I guess
