A week ago, something just happened to me, I went into my dad's room and simply said,"Dad, university admissions dates are going to be in December.." He said,"Ok..."
And that's when I knew that he is waiting for me to justify, and explain what I just said. So I did. Started with a,"Have a friend there, she told me all the information" to look like my sources are reliable and my information is right. And said so many things while my mom kept smiling, as she sat there to back me up in case dad does not agree.
After listening to me talking about some irrelevant, some convincing and some weird stuff, dad said,"Sure! Collect all the exact information about university and the accomodations, and we'll do the procedure then, InshaALLAH.."
And I was literally like,"Did he just say that?" Because my father never wanted to send me to Pakistan, due to the conditions of the country. I didn't want him to send me to United Kingdom, because of so many reasons which I don't want to state. My brothers live there, good enough, but they are in the times of struggle themselves. And my time is more than just of struggle, its of huge decisions that really decide my whole life. So, I took a decision to apply in Islamabad, considering all the situations and surprisingly, dad agreed.
That was one of the best days of my life. Literally, one of the best because convincing my dad for something this big is like trying to cool a burning house with only one bucket of water. Bad example, but the point is, it was one of those moment when you can't help but come back into your room and dance like there's no tomorrow. I was "Happy".
I came back on my laptop and talked to one of my best buddies, Hala, who was one of the main reasons I got enough courage to talk to my dad. She pushed me and tolerated me for so many days while I complained about not being able to talk to dad. She told me her experiences, her own versions of courage, and struggle, and may ALLAH bless her, helped me gain a lot of strength. She increased my happiness a lot.
Then I sent a message to one of my friends whose words really pushed me to make a better decision about my life and not just 'live with it'. Instead, make a difference about it.
Then I went into the kitchen, as my mom had went in there, hugged her and said,"Maa! That's your daughter.. YO" and my mom couldn't help but smile at her strange daughter who was crying just some hours ago due to the boredom and not being able to 'change' a thing. With me, she was happy too!
It felt amazing. How something which seemed so small could bring such a huge difference. It felt beautiful!
And it became one of those days that I'd never forget. And specially the people who were in it, at the moment. Hala, Amal, Mom, Aapi, bros.. Love you, guys!
It made me think of something.
I felt that if I did not have my mom sitting there beside me, I wouldn't have been able to talk to dad, not for a second, LORD be my witness, my whole body was shivering.
If I didn't have Hala online at the moment I left my room to went into dad's room, I wouldn't have the guts to leave my room.
If Amal hadn't shown up online right after I came back, my happiness wouldn't have increased twice as much.
If my friend hadn't called me some hours ago, and be annoyed at my sadness, it wouldn't have been possible to consider 'doing' something about my constantly depressed mood.
And if I didn't have ALLAH with me, then rest assured, I wouldn't be alive today writing all this.
Value people! Value the ones who make you happy, who make you smile, who back you up no matter on how small scale they do it. Because without these people, you're a literal Nobody! If they are not with you, you'd fail to do anything. If they are not there to cheer you up when you're sad, hold you tight when you need a hug, wipe your tears when you can't stop crying, and jump with you on your success, you'd fail to learn the true meaning of Happiness and bliss.
Value those who 'be there' for you in all the times of sadness and excitement, alike, because without these people, you won't be able to smile, ever.
Honor the people who make an effort to be in your life. Because, they are the ones worth your effort. They deserve your presence in their life, because they themselves try hard enough to make their presence matter. Give love, and you'll get love. Support the ones who are in need, and they'll support you once you need them. Jump with the ones succeeding, and they'll jump with you when you succeed.
Wipe the tears of crying ones, and they'll wipe yours..
Be human, and others would be human to you! Never stop playing your role in making this world a better place, and others would make your world better than you can imagine. Be happy and make others happy!
