serenity

i still get that question and it doesn’t frustrate me anymore:

do i have regrets?

i end up smiling, instead.  it was frustrating for a time because it was always followed by people’s would-have- and could-have-been’s for me.  ironic how we unconsciously project our own wishes on other people, don’t you think?

but i realized…

i still get that question yet it does not frustrate me anymore…

…

..

.

not because others have changed (some still share their would-have- and could-have-been’s)

.

..

…

..

.

but simply because i am at peace with the then and the now.  at peace that even when i am not even sure what tomorrow will be, i can find my heart smiling.  at peace that even when others project their own wishes on me, i can smile with all of my heart and say,

i took a risk, i gave my best, i got broken…but i was also healed.

Alhamdulillahi Rabbi’l Alamin for everything.
