035- Lets find Peace.

Dear Batman,


We wake up every morning cursing the world coz we're forced to wake up early and get to work. We drag our feet along the floor and reluctantly go about our Fajr prayers and getting ready for work while we constantly curse everything around us in our mind. In Your case, You miss the mornings altogether. [Well, most of the time. =P] We tend to ignore the beautiful morning light streaming through our open doors, brightening the darkness of the fading night. We tend to ignore the cold comfortable morning air hugging every inch of our bodies. We ignore the peaceful sound of silence, where the world has been blanketed in a cloth of serenity. Why is it, that we curse this very peaceful time of the day?

I think we focus too much on what's bad. Honey, why are we so hung up on thinking about what we never had, or had and lost, or the things that are just plainly unfortunate? Lets think about about whats good tonight, shall we?

We get to see the morning sun rising up in the baby blue sky and the clouds surround her by each side. We get to see the flying birds making its way up in the skies. We get to feel the morning breeze caressing our skin and waking our senses. We get to feel the warm sunlight touch our face with its gentle grace. We get to hear the birds singing their serenades filling our minds with peace and calm.

And after a long day of work, we get to come home along the streets while we take in the beauty of another gorgeous dusk. Colors of red and orange and purple replacing the yellow sunlight while the mighty sun sinks down low into the water. We get to see the million lights that fills the night sky every night. We get to see a shining moon up in the sky. We get to feel the cool night breeze calming our senses and taking our tiredness away.

Imagine, a man without his sight. Imagine what he would give to be able to see the things that You and I can. Imagine a man without his sense of hearing. Imagine what he would do to be able to hear those birds singing and the sounds of breeze in his hair. Imagine a man without his legs, what he would do to be able to get up and work and stand up on his own. Imagine a man, without a home. What he would give to be able to have a roof over his head. Imagine a life where You starve everyday, where You beg for a drop of water. Imagine someone without the ability to feel or touch. Imagine the life of emptiness.

Yes, I know our life's not perfect. We have a roof over our heads, but its not how it should've been. But we at least HAVE a roof. HAVE a home. There's so many things that we would change if we could. But sometimes, life is just about accepting the bad and focusing on the good. Like AT  LEAST we have our 5 senses. With God's grace we're in good health. Masha Allah.

Honey, don't waste the life that God has gifted us with. The hardships that we have to go through, is just another test among many that we have to face. You and I, we have been through a lot. And we have to accept that life is not perfect. We're the ones who make it perfect. We're the ones who can make a change. I can't change Your life and You can't change mine. But we can change our own lives. Hun, work hard, strive to make that change. Use the things that God ha gsifted You with. Use Your legs and stand up on Your own. Coz hun, remember a person without his legs would kill to have that chance to BE able to stand. And You ARE gifted with it. Don't let it go to waste.

Don't focus on the bad. Always think about the things that are good. And I know, that there will be times when You feel sad, and You feel like giving up. But don't stop. Don't lose Your faith. Just change the way You see everything and I promise, eventually you'll find Your peace.

And remember that You're gifted with something above everything else. That is to love someone and have that person love You in return. I know I am not there with You now, but this is a gift we have been blessed with. We may not be together, but You at least know that there is someone somewhere who keeps You in her prayers and misses You everyday. And loves You with all her heart.

So strive, hun. Push Yourself and Insha Allah oneday You WILL be the man that I know You can be. The man that YOU want to be.

Love always,
<3
