...down...

Assalaamu Alaikum

Ugh, what a day ... what a week! My hormones are going insane, I have no idea what is going on with me. I've just been getting so emotional over every little thing. It's been quite unusual. I don't mean to. Just this morning, before we began for sehri, my father sat beside me to have a simple conversation. I was just not in the mood to speak to anyone. I'm just feeling ... really down. The problem is that I cannot figure out why. Alhamdulillah everything in my life is just perfect, so happy, and it's Ramadan! I'm literally having the time of my life ... but this week, just seems to be different. Whether it has to do with school (assignments are slowly beginning to pile-up, tests etc) or the events that are occuring in the world these days or just personal issues that my friends are experiencing ... which may also be taking some sort of toll on me, I do not know. All I do know, is that I want this feeling to end! It's normal, right? hehe This isn't new for me, I have my days when things just don't make sense and don't intend on making sense. Maybe I'm thinking too much? Vatever ...

Well, I thought I was doing fine until today. I was sitting in my Intro to Arab Culture class waiting for a young brother to begin his presentation. He expressed that he wanted to make an announcement before he began because it may affect his performance while delivering his information. I will not go into detail as to what he shared but whatever was bothering him, it will result in him moving to Pakistan. Just as he said those words, you can tell the pain he was feeling with a simple look at his expression ... he was about to burst into tears. I don't even know the guy, have never spoken a word to him ... yet, I could not help but feel his pain. It appeared to be recent news too because I remember him leaving the classroom for a little while. If only you could have seen him, how distraught he appeared.

It only made me realize, that my little problems, are nothing in comparison to others. You may think that whatever you are experiencing is the worst feeling ever but I feel it is real important to remind yourself that there is ALWAYS someone out there, experiencing something far worse. Unfortunately. And we should always be thankful to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala for everything He has given us, because everything we have ... is a blessing from Him.

Anyhoo, my du'as will be with him, may Allah Swt ease his pain and help him in his time of need, ameen.

Felt nice to let that out. Alhamdulillah :)

I gotta go catch my bus now ... *runs away in a frantic*
