Have You Ever....

I found this a few days back and decided to share with u guys. ....damn, this guy must have been really heartbroken, Its a great read though, i know we call all relate. sigh. :-( ...This makes me think of Brandy's song "Have you ever" Listen to it if you get a chance, thats an amazing song as well. xoxo

H A V E. Y O U. E V E R. B E E N .I N. L O V E ?

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."

- Neil Gaiman.

Faith*

"Faith is a funny thing...It turns up when you don't expect it. It's like one day, you realize that the fairy tale maybe slightly different than what you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. It's not so important that its happily ever after, just that its happy right now! Once in a while, Once in a blue moon, People will realize. And once in a while, People may even take your breath away". - Grey's Anatomy.

"Painful as this time may be, you will one day see the reason for it not cruel testings but tender preparations for the wonderful work you are to do" - Unknown

YESSS^^ Just came across this quote and truly loved it. Life is valuable you know, and we do come across hard times... but its temporary.. this is truly a valuable lesson people need to learn from and understand.. We are all destined for more.. :) I'm destined for more.

I love this song and her music. No words can describe how this song makes me feel. :-)

__KARMA__

This is one of my favorite quotes from "Grey's Anatomy".
....
"Okay so, sometimes even the best of us make rash decisions. Bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're going to regret the moment, the minute, especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not regret, regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there. But still. Something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the ass. Yet, we do it anyway. What I'm saying is... we reap what we sow. What comes around, goes around. It's karma, and anyway you slice it... Karma sucks".

"One way or another out karma will leave us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up on us from behind. One way or another, our karma will always find us. No matter how hard we try, we can't escape our karma. It follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about our karma. It's not unfair. It's not unexpected. It just...evens the score. And even when we're about to do something we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass...well, it goes without saying, We do it anyway".

- George O'Maly from Grey's Anatomy.

The Interview With God

This is a very inspiring poem ~
There is only one God, look to him for guidance
In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful.

The Interview With GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back".

*Life is not about the number of breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away..*

♥

♥

*Love all you hold dear, precious is the time you share. Do not wait for tomorrow, for tomorrow may not be.*

♥

"You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it".

Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you, and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes, it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, and if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.

At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes -- all you need is one. ♥

"...Push on to something better"

.....

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid, confused, without a road map. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. But once in a while, people push on to something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in, or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead.

I feel like the person that wrote this saw right through me. Through my doubts, my fears, my accomplishments and my direction... I have no idea what the future has in store for me and God knows im terrified every single second of the day. No matter how much i pray, there is still something inside me that fears the worst. No matter how much i keep telling myself to have faith and believe and work hard, i always view life in a pessimistic way. CONFIDENCE, PRAYER, DETERMINATION and STRENGTH to work hard is what i pray for everyday for God to give me. I'm trying to believe i can do it, i know it wont be easy but i will strive to succeed in any way i can with the help of Allah SWT! ..

Think about that for a sec.. so true ..soo true.. love it x
....
Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but if it does not, be content it grew in yours.

kisses

L.O.V.E ♥

"Love is never wanting to lose faith, never wanting to give up, and never truly moving on. Love is knowing and praying in the deepest part of what's left of your heart that they feel the same".
