The Promise I Keep Breaking
Death has become a familiar stranger.
It knocks on someone else's door, and for a moment, it feels as though it has knocked on mine.
My heart trembles.
I whisper, "This time I will change."
I will pray with more presence. I will guard my tongue. I will seek forgiveness with a heart that truly means it.
Then life returns.
The world grows loud again.
And somehow, the promises I made beside another person's farewell become buried beneath another ordinary day.
This is the sorrow I struggle to explain.
It is not that I have forgotten death.
It is that I keep remembering it, yet fail to remember it for long enough to become the person I long to be.
How strange that the certainty of death can still lose its urgency inside a heart that believes it is certain.
Ya Rabb, I have made You promises that my weakness has struggled to keep.
Do not abandon me because I stumble.
Strengthen my heart until remembrance outlives emotion, repentance outlives fear, and every reminder of death leaves a mark that time can no longer erase.
For I do not fear remembering death.
I fear remembering it, only to become heedless once again.

❄️Winter, 🌺spring, 🏜️summer or 🍁fall..all you got to do is call, and I'll be there..yeah, yeah, yeah..🫵🏼You got a friend

🌅Love doesn't come in a minute..🌹 Sometimes it doesn't come at all..I only know that when I'm in it🏵️..it isn't silly, love isn't silly..🌄Love isn't silly at all

Uncertainty always caught us by storm,
Unreadiness always obstructed a smooth sailing,
Underestimate yourselves and others will never make us perform,
Unrequited love might be the sign of heart in ailing.

“ Because the real love doesn’t switch off “

Don't leave anything for later
Later coffee gets cold
Later you lost interest
Later the day turns into night
Later people grow up
Later people grow old
Later life goes by
Later you regret not doing something
When you had the chance

Then Almitra spoke again and said, And what of Marriage, master? And he answered saying:

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.

Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.

On Marriage

By Kahlil Gibran

And when I am six feet underground with bugs eating my brain
They will get visions of you.
They will smell what you smelt like and they will hear me calling your name through a moonlit night.
They will experience unimaginable wonders
As they feast on the corner of my brain that houses you.
They will not move an inch without bumping into a piece of you.
Moon dust.
stars in their eyes.
A view of the cosmos. then you will fade Likes as will l.
And they will go back to eating.
A brief paradise in their tiny world.

I promise U that there are people in this world less qualified than u doing the things that U want to do simply cuz they believe that they could. And confidence doesn't come before u start, it comes because u started. So take the leap and go for it and I promise that the confidence will meet u there
