You know what I miss most?

Writing posts about life.

Sometimes you get to caught up trying to seize what's ahead of you and secure your future that you did not stop for a second and take a glance at your surrounding. It is surreal when you realize that everything could vanish within split seconds. How did I come to realize this? I was driving the other day and I notice that there was a huge ass lorry next to me speeding. My demon spoke and said, "If you were to steer right and crash into the lorry, your life would end. All the so-called pains and sufferings, any relationships - families, friends, pets, the future, my dinner; won't be there waiting for me. It would all just end." That made me realize that every second matters. People keep saying that time moves oh so fast when in reality, we are trying so hard to go into full throttle and fast forward ahead in life and skip the bitter parts. Those bitter parts will make you who you are, so skipping them wouldn't be enjoyable now wouldn't it? I know this sounds like the movie "Click" but our life is so important, hence, we should cherish it and live it to the fullest.

Now comes the more important question. Since life is too precious, and to certain extent, can be short for someone, what should we do with it? I, for one, think that to live a wholesome life, is to make an impact. Be it big or small. For every person I get to cheer up, that's an accomplishment. But in order for me to make everyone else happy, I must be happy. If not, I'd be a hypocrite. My happiness comes in a form of gratitude. I have been facing inner conflicts and they were ugly. But when you opt into gratuitousness, you'll understand the purpose to your creation and your roles on this planet. We're all slaves to something be it a higher being, money, fame or science, I have never stop reminding myself with that fact. It is whom you choose to become your master will determine the siraat for your life. So choose wise.

May Allah guide us all.
