I've Learnt

I usually try to live life one day at a time - maybe it has something to do with my optimistically cautious take on things. But here at ISB - sometimes many many days attack me at once ..
A few nights ago - a very dear friend of mine told me that soon there would be a day when I'd take on several days at one time - Inshah Allah .. but until then ....I've learnt ..

I've learnt that you never know who your friends are - until you find out that they arent who you thought they would be. And that even though it hurts like hell- Its okay to let go.

I've also learnt that ..life ..is bigger and better if you can only let it be and sometimes help comes from the most unexpected corners.

I've learnt that its true ..what they say ..that you can compel people to not be bad to each other But you just cant force them to be good to each other...

I've learnt that moonlight makes me happy

I've learnt that a smile costs nothing but it could change an entire day for someone

I've learnt that sometimes when I run out of tears - it makes my heart weep..

I've learnt that I often have to make hard choices - and these choices are the bricks of my life ..ones that fortify its walls ..or ones that I spend years carrying around

I've learnt that its inevitable how certain people will treat me - but I can control how I will treat them back ...silence usually works.

I've learnt that making an attempt and falling flat on my face- getting road rolled and walked over beats the hell out of never trying at all.

I've learnt that dreams are worth standing up and fighting for.

I've learnt that every once in a while I have a quiet moment when my life flashes in front of my eyes - I've got to make sure its worth watching.

I've learnt that I love it someone holds the door open for me - just for that one brief moment - I am loved and vindicated.

I've learnt that one single moment between friends can be the loss of many many years

I've learnt that just because I am down - doesnt mean I wont stand up again..and it definitely doesnt mean that they next round wont be a knockout.

I've learnt that I'm never going to be a size6 again ..and when my dress size began to get bigger than my shoe size - its was all downhill from there.

I've learnt - that I am going to have to learn to love and be loved again.
