say enlightened

My good friend, Norman, dropped this line on me a few days ago when I was, yet again, making drama out of the little inconveniences in my life:

Insha'Allah.

It's roughly translates to "in God's will," he explained. At first it was weird to hear him, a Christian, say a commonly used Islamic phrase. But once I got over that, it sank into me that - yes, this is just how it should be. All these petty problems that have been bothering me lately are not worth the sleepless nights, the bad mood, and the wasted time spent in over-analyzing the why's and all the other questions that have left me stumped for weeks.

Everything in God's will.

I am not a religious person. I grew up a Catholic because it was the default religion where I came from. But despite my doubts in "man-influenced" religious beliefs, I do believe that a higher being is watching over me. Regardless if it's in Arabic or English, maybe a little bit more faith is just what's needed.

And now, for my pick-me-up video for the week...

Quoting the guy from Sonic Boom, this is "best viewed loud." Enjoy.

I wish this could have been any other way



This may not be what you were looking for last Thursday, my friend; but it is how it is. 

Don't worry. One of these days,  everything will go your way because you do deserve better. Trust me. Better days are yet to come.
