Friend > Aquaintance

There is a diffrence between an aquaintance and a friend. Aquaintances are those familiar faces who will come into your life and leave when they feel like it with no great benefit to you. These sort of people are easy to find. It is the friend who we are in search for, the one that will improve us as Muslims. The ones who care for our well-being, those who care for our spiritual advancement. This is the person who I continue to look for. This is the person I need in my life.


I have had many experience where by I have mistaken aquaintances for friends resulting in an unpleasant state of confusion and regret. It is never nice when you come to realise that someone you thought was benefitting you, someone you thought cared for you, someone you thought you could rely on vanishes from your life, leaving unsolved problens with you.

Assumptions

I hate it when you look up to someone you really think is a good person yet after a couple of conversations you realise he or she is the complete opposite. It really changes the way you view prople and makes you wait before assuming you know a person. I dont know if that made any sense to you guys but it was more of a just 'note to self'

Ouch..

I was minding my own business as we sat in a circle to read out Scene 1 of Shakespeare's famous play, Romeo & Juliet. I scanned the room full of people that are particularly familiar to me. To my right sat a quiet Kuwaiti girl and to my left a friend quite close to me. As our teacher was explaining the reasons why we study Shakespeare, a girl on the opposite side of the circle caught my eye. She was staring right at me, I wasn't aware how long for but she chuckled as our eyes met. I gave her a confused look and glanced down to my copy of the play. She bravely whispered something to the girl beside her. The girl beside her turned her focus towards me and ended up in hysterics. It was then that I felt the stab right in the middle of my chest. The pain for which I had vaguely felt before but never to such an extent. It hurt. Tears filled up in my eyes yet I stopped them from rolling down my cheeks. The Kuwaiti girl beside me sensed that something was wrong and asked out of genuine care if I was feeling fine. I nodded, and looked back at the teacher as she delegated the parts of Benvolio, Tybalt and Romeo to the group of boys sitting a couple of chairs away from me.

I need to get some hardcore revision done, or else I shall fail. D;

New year.. New me?

New year. The time when everyone keeps resolutions to better themselves as people. An oppertunity to change themselves; to get rid of bad habits; to improve in their charachter. but surely if you want to change yourself it shouldnt be due to a new year starting? Why wait till new year to change yourself? as soon as you notice and recognise a flaw in yourself change it instantly, it isnt going to happen over night obviously but start as soon as possible right? What annoys me is the fact that people wait till new year to change themselves when no one guaranteed they would be alive then.. Right? We hear of so many cases where children a lot younger than us have passed away.. Who said you will be alive tomorrow?
