Thoughts & Views: The Day We Drifted Apart & After

The Day We Drifted Apart & After

Yes, the day we drifted apart
I felt pain, betrayal, anger, pity, and sorrow.

However,

After the day we drifted apart
I recognized that I can live without you

After the day we drifted apart
I realized that you are not the center of the world

After the day we drifted apart
I lifted a burden off my shoulders

After the day we drifted apart
I was able to put you in the right place

After the day we drifted apart
I became free of worrying about you getting me wrong

After the day we drifted apart
I found I have many other aspects of life

After the day we drifted apart
I saw life as a valuable gift

After the day we drifted apart
I discovered the world as a beautiful place

After the day we drifted apart
I felt the right to enjoy my life

After the day we drifted apart
I learnt how to love other people

After the day we drifted apart
I became a nicer person

After the day we drifted apart
I was able to love myself

After the day we drifted apart
I shined anew

Thank you for ALL the days AFTER the day we drifted apart

Thank you Kiristie. You know I wrote this poem to all the people I decided to go on without or put them on their right places, since they hurt me and became a burden I no more want to carry. For me it is not about one person.
I'm happy that it touched you and others in different ways.

This is a piece of work.
It comes from a deep part of you, which makes it so true and honest. It touched me deeply, cause there are people in my life whom I suffered a lot at first just thinking of their departure, and when I decided to finish their chapter in my book of life, things became a lot better.
It is really beautiful.

Shemo, this one is great, now I understand what u were saying the other day about people who were surprised to see this part of YOU!
I can say that this one is ur 2nd best piece of work (after Magi), it really describes how I felt after deciding to as u said "put them on their right places".

فعلا احساس مهم جدا ان يتحرر الانسان من العبودية لاي شيء غير اللة

انها الحرية

تعيش تعيش الحرية دي الحرية تساوي ملايين

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste
I haven't got much time to waste, it's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face, but I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own
Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

بين وإذا كنت مرة جنيت، حقك على راسي وأزاي أنا رافع راسك وأنت بتحني في راسي أزاي عقدين تقريباً وعجبي!

2017 Slogan: Power is knowing what you can control and what you can’t and act accordingly

تجذبني وتؤثر في آيات الرحمة أكثر من آيات العذاب. أملي وطمعي في رحمة ربي أكبر من انتظاري لعذابه. أليس هو أرحم من الأم على أبنها! أليست رحمته وسعت كل شيء! أليس هو من فتح لنا باب التوبة ليبدل سيئاتنا حسنات! أليست رحمته أكبر مما نتخيل! ربي أنا لا أطمع في عدلك فقط بل أطمع في فضلك وكرمك وإحسانك ورحمتك. أنا عبدك وإن أخطأت وعصيتك فأنت الغني وأن تبت وأصلحت فأنت الغفور والرحمن الرحيم. ربي لا أتخذ رحمتك عذرا لكي أخطئ ولكنه ضعفي البشري الذي أعجز احيانا في التغلب عليه وبفضلك سوف اتغلب عليه. اللهم أهدنا الصراط المستقيم وارحمنا.

There is a huge difference between people who make a choice and people who are forced to make a choice. The first must make sure not to get affected by the second's negativity and not to judge them for that because they are not in their shoes.

The second needs to realize that even if they are forced to make a choice they need to know that it is still their own choice and look for the gains of their choices not the losses.

And in all cases when we choose we lose things and gain others. It just depends on what you look at.

قررت أن أحبك

فعل إرادة

لا فعل هزيمة

غادة السمان

We have to keep reinventing ourselves almost every minute because the world can change in an instant, and there's no time for looking back. Sometimes the changes are forced on us, sometimes they happen by accident, and we make the most of them. We have to constantly come up with new ways to fix ourselves. So we change, we adapt, we create new versions of ourselves. We just need to be sure that this one is an improvement over the last. -Grey's Anatomy-Meredith. (v.o, 6x14)

"تضيع ذاكرة الكلمات، أنما ليس ذاكرة الانفعالات"
أمين معلوف "التائهون"

علمتني التجارب إن أصحاب الصوت العالي بشكل دائم هم أكثر الناس في الحقيقة ضعفًا ويستحقون الرحمة والشفقة أحيانًا. كذلك، فإن القوة الحقيقية تكمن في القدرة على التصرف في المواقف الصعبة والتغلب على ما قد نصاب به من شلل في التفكير أو اضطراب أو تضارب أو تبلد في المشاعر وكذلك القوة تكمن في استمرار إيماننا بالله في مثل تلك المواقف والدعاء له والثقة في إنه مهما حاولنا فنحن لا نحقق شيء إلا بعونه وما يقدره لنا هو دائمًا الخير.

Insanity is the mother of creativity :)

How on earth would we know what we want if we haven't tried the thing and its opposite?!

With every day we grow, there is always something we miss from yesterday.

Love is a choice, giving in is another choice, getting hurt is no choice

You know when life stops. When you stop feeling any moments of happiness or even sadness. It becomes overly normal and lifeless. Everything you do is done automatically and neutrally. This is when you need a major change that takes you up sometimes and down other times to come back to life.
Just a thought, a feeling, or even a conclusion :)
When friends are more than just friends, you find them caring so much, making your day, speaking to your mind and soul, putting you as priority 1, striving to make you feel happy, helping you to understand yourself and others, giving you the right to need them
Oh God. No words can explain my feelings towards you.

They built a train track over these Alps to connect Vienna and Venice. They built these tracks even before there was a train in existence that could make the trip. They built it because they knew some day, the train would come.

اللمة لما تحلى في ساعة العصاري
تفتح مزاد ع الحب تلقى ألف شاري
شاهد بيشهد من البداية للنهاية
وكل ركن في قلبه يحكيلك حكاية
وكفاية لما بتلاقيه فاتح دراعه بيناديك
ويقول تعالى في حضني دا إنت واحشني موت

I'm gonna carry this train of the track.
I gotta swim to the ocean floor.
Crash to the other shore.

You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday

أسكن بيوت الفرح .. آه مُمْـكِن

أسكن بيوت الحزن .. لا يُمْـكِن

ومستحيل يا حزن راح تسكن

قِدِرالزمان يفهمنا .. آه .. يمكن

شكـِّلني بطعم الأفراح

لوِّني بلون التفاح

وبطعم المنجَه

وكمنجَه

تعزف لي ع الجرح أرتاح .. يمكن
مشيني على كفوف الراح
نسِّيني لو حلم وراح
واشمعنى
المعنى
بيعرفني لو باتت في قلوبنا جراح .. يمكن
