I dream of a day yet to come where i will be truly me.. the way i see myself deep down inside.. the way i truly am..
I dream of a day yet to come where i will be wisely sanguine.. not naive nore pesimistic.. the way i truly should be..
I dream of a day yet to come where i will be finally brave.. to face the truth to face myself.. the way i was taught to be..
I am very confused, i don't have time to be confused, the world is passing me by and I am still having second thoughts about EVERYTHING...
I still have faith in tomorrow

what determins the division of happiness?
so i was at a coffee shop today with some friends and we were laughing really hard at a joke one of them said.. u know when u laugh so much u cry?!! it was actually exhausting.. anyhow, we were enjoying ourselves when one of my friends suddenly said "allah yikfeena shar i'6i7k" as in -may God prevent the evils after laughter- well not literally, but that's the best i can do!!
basically, this is some sort of superstition we have in Saudi (not quite sure of it's presence anywhere else). but many people believe that if you laugh too much in the day u will end up in tears by the fall of night, so they pray to God to keep them safe from the evils that come after laughter
note: this superstition is not religious in any way
so i thought about this for a moment and asked my friend why she would actually believe she wasn't allowed to laugh too much or else she would be punished?!! i personally feel that if you believe u deserve to be happy, i mean truly believe, u will be!! i think we should try to adopt a very positive attitude towards life..
another one of our friends had an interesting point of view.. he was saying that he believes that everyone gets their fair share of happiness and misery.. eventually all the sadness u felt in your life will be balanced out by the happiness..
it's funny how all of a sudden, everything went serious and u got a pessimistic, positive and realistic attitude towards happiness..
after that discussion, i decided that i shall not fear happiness, i shall not expect it, nor shall i believe in the equilibrium.. i have decided not to take life too seriously and stop discussing gifts from God such as happiness and just be thankful for them..
The End
