Seems like every time I think that life is going perfect for me, someone I know has their life rudely interrupted by an event they cannot control. It's gotten so very frequent now that it's actually started having a huge impact on my life. Things that happen to other people aren't supposed t affect me; but they do. So many people around me are faced with situations they can’t help that my own problems—and the impact other people’s problems have on me—are practically nullified. When somebody’s life is turned upside down, who am I to crib about mine being a little bit messy? The worst that happens to me is that I’m indecisive about what I want with my life. While there are those who’s life is crumbling around them. My biggest worry is how I’m going to do in a course, what grade I’ll end up with and which shirt to wear in the morning.

Meanwhile, for some, life is about broken marriages, last-minute rejections, death and despair, withering relationships and painful deception. I’m just concerned with my life being meaningless and devoid of a greater goal. At least it’s not devoid of happiness.

Thank you, God Dude, for a happy life, free from pain. Thank you, Big Guy, for blessing me. Thank you, Allah, for giving me the capacity to thank you.

Make me better then I am. Give me the courage to be who you want me to be. Give me the strength to be what I can be.
