stand by truth. always. living falsely doesn’t hide you from yourself. never. pretty drastic. but it’s when you try to implement it is when you see true strength. in yourself. and others to a point.

Right yes, can I have one of those pills?

And I give up on not being stupid. The best I can be is humble enough to ask God and those I offend to forgive me later.

Maybe some day. I’m working on it.

…to me, the important thing is that you (the general “you”) are even TRYing to change, that you recognize your mistakes and are trying to move away from that. doesn’t that count for something?

the hard chair in front of the giant mirror… every now and then, we all should spend some time in that uncomfortable position. to keep ourselves grounded, humble, to seek forgiveness.

“But if your mistake was made in a conscious state of mind, when you understood the situation, when you knew dammit knew what you were doing then why please please tell me why why did you do it…”

maybe because you (as in that person) stopped caring…

“blame it upon a rush of the blood to the head”
“please forgive me, if i act a little strange”

how can you tell we’re all stressed out here. Yasmine stopped blogging, brotha Waleed just put those notables up, and I just got an email from a classmate who I asked for some info on the exam saying ,”Sorry I got nothing. and I mean Nothing.”

I need some strength. Ya Allah, help us!

Yo, hold up, just to set the record straight here, I did NOT stop blogging. I’m just trying to take a short break from the online world, and obviously it’s not working real well at the moment. AIM is the devil, and weblogs are much, much too distracting. Maybe I should just throw my computer out the window.
,”Sorry I got nothing. and I mean Nothing.” haha talk about stress, man. Much strength to you, Shaheen, and to you all.

Anyway, since I seem to be breaking my no-commenting-this-week rule anyway…

Okay, am I allowed to just second Anjum’s comments on every single post? Seriously.
Also, random thought: Denial can be difficult to give up. But I’ve learned that, if nothing else, it’s hard to lie to oneself.

Chai: The truth, your own self even, is not always easy to stand by. Perhaps it is this generation alone that has it so tough, perhaps it isn’t. All I know is how I live my life.

Owl: In the end, humility to God wins out, regardless. Please Allah and Allah will make others pleased with you, nay?

Anju: Self-recognition. Can you really say you realize your mistakes and move from them so quickly, so easily, so efficiently? Not all of us be as thee.

Adnan: No, sometimes, people care yet still make conscious mistakes. How? There in lies the human factor, the human contradiction.
Completely human.

Shaheen: What notables? May Allah accept your duas.

And Yasmine: If you had to break your no-commenting-rule, what an honor! It is broken here, on these grounds, on this land. To live in denial, in lies wrapped around your self, is a filthy filthy place to live, that weakens and destroys you. Some escape, not all.

“Not all of us be as thee.” My mistakes are just like anyone else’s … some are minor, but some many are haunting, agonizing, unbearable reminders.. but even with these, we have to have some hope for forgiveness, don’t we? otherwise we’d be reduced to puddles of regret, unable to take any steps forward because we’re constantly looking backward…

oh, and for Yasmine’s seconding my comments.. it’d be an honor, but damn girl, you’re making me blush! =)
