Look At Yourself In The Mirror

How could you look at yourself in the mirror?

You stand for nothing and your heart is untrue , Every single thing about you's just a clone of the last "you"

All I want is to reach someone, to say something that could change their life forever, To let them know they're not alone, you're not alone , So many people wanna see me fail, so fucking clever but I'll spit in your face , I'll make sure you remember me

If all these words you speak of meant a thing , I'd take back all the lines against you that I sing, But I know that there's nothing real inside , Your heart's invested in feeding everyone lies

I've seen so many of you come and go, That's cuz you're in it for all the wrong fucking reasons , You can't expect to live off of lies and survive , I am who I am, this is what we are,  I don't care if this offends you, or your worthless god

To all the kids who's letters I receive , The broken hearted, the damaged just like me , I will be your voice to let the world know we stand as one , We're standing right here so come and fucking get us

Open your mind before your mouth ,  Or come and fucking get us , I'll be the end of your decadence I may not have built this kingdom but,  I'll make fucking sure that I protect it from you.

There's a difference between who we love, who we settle for, and who we're meant for.

There are huge differences between who you have settled for, who you are meant for, and who we love, this is a complicated but almost undeniable truth. Whether you choose to believe that a person in your life because they were meant for you, or because you just settled, we are all forced to answer the question of if the love that we have for a person is real or not at some point in time.

All is not fair in love, but all should be. If someone truly loves us we must be willing to let them know if we really love them, or if we think that we may just be settling for them because they have us feeling secure, or comfortable, everything but happy. It is not always easy to be honest about your feelings because it may hurt someone else's, but never live a life that you know isn't really yours to live. Never settle, love and love with all of you, that is what love is meant for!

Open Your Mind And Remind Yourself

“May Allah forgive me of my sins. The outward and the inward. The intentional and the unintentional. May Allah forgive me for being a repeat offender, sinning the same sin over and over again. May Allah forgive me for being heedless. For being ignorant. For being arrogant, ungrateful, inpatient. More importantly, May Allah forgive me for not seeking forgiveness for all the sins I have committed.

It's Okay Not To Be Perfect

It is important to remind ourselves that no matter what, not everything in our lives will always be as perfect as we may desire. In fact, the only thing perfect about man is that he is able to notice his own imperfections. Striving to live life perfectly is something that is utterly impossible to obtain, instead one should focus on living his or her best life.

Living your best life isn't about trying to be perfect, it is about a person living as who they are at heart, committing mistakes, and learning from these mistakes in order to produce more victories in life than losses. Not every championship has a perfect regular season, not every president had the best grades in grade school, and not every thriving business has always been a thriving business. It is okay to not be perfect, as long as you are always working on being better.

Remind yourself that it's okay not to be perfect.

Having The Satisfaction Of Knowing

Knowing is a 2009 American-British science fiction film mystery-thriller directed by Alex Proyas and starring Nicolas Cage. The project was originally attached to a number of directors under Columbia Pictures, but it was placed in turnaround and eventually picked up by Escape Artists. Production was financially backed by Summit Entertainment. Knowing was filmed in Docklands Studios Melbourne, Australia, using various locations to represent the film's Boston-area setting. The film was released on 20 March 2009, in the United States. The DVD and Blu-ray media were released on July 7, 2009.

In 1959 a child, Lucinda Embry, hears whispers as she stares at the sun. Later, she writes a page of seemingly random numbers to include in the school's time capsule, which will be opened after 50 years. When unable to complete this series of digits, she hides in the janitor's closet and is later found there by a teacher, scratching the remaining numbers into the door.

Fifty years later, Caleb Koestler is a student at Lucinda's school. When the time capsule is opened, Caleb gets Lucinda's page of numbers. Jonathan Koestler, (played by Nick Cage) Caleb's widower father, is a professor of astrophysics at MIT.

Hearing whispers, Caleb sees a mysterious stranger outside. Looking at the numbers, Jonathan notices the sequence 911012996 and realizes it is a reference to the date and number of deaths from the September 11th attacks (9/11/01/2996). Jonathan finds similar information based on other numbers on Caleb's sheet. The last three dates on the page are in the near future, and there are sequences between the dates which he cannot understand.

Caleb receives more visits from mysterious strangers who give him a small smooth stone, and show him visions of the world on fire. On his way to pick up Caleb from school, Jonathan notices the coordinates on his GPS, realizing that the numbers on the screen match those on Lucinda's list. His fears are realized moments later when a passenger jet crashes within view of the highway. He now understands that Lucinda's numbers pinpoint the time and place of disasters.

Jonathan tracks down Lucinda's daughter, Diana, and her daughter Abby, but scares them away when he reveals his interest in Lucinda's predictions. Jonathan pinpoints the next disaster to Worth Street in lower Manhattan. Guessing that it will be a terrorist attack and hoping to prevent the disaster, he phones in a terror warning. Traveling to New York, he is shocked to find the area has not been not closed off. He pursues a man into a subway station suspecting him to be a terrorist, but he is only a shoplifter. At that same moment an approaching train derails, smashing into the station and destroys much of the train Jonathan is on.

With the train disaster proving Jonathan's predictions, Diana decides to help Jonathan. She says that her mother used to hear voices, and that the next date, October 19, is the day she said she would die. In Lucinda's mobile home, they find pictures of the disasters she predicted, a copy of Matthäus Merian's engraving of Ezekiel's "chariot vision",[4] and a pile of small smooth stones near Lucinda's bed.

The last number appears to be "33" but is really "EE" written backwards. Jonathan and Diana soon learn that EE means "Everyone Else", representing a cataclysm that no one will escape. Outside, the Strangers appear around the car carrying the children. John drives them away only to hear from Abby that the "whisper people" want her and Caleb to go with them. The next day, John has a sudden revelation and rushes them to the MIT observatory, where he discovers that a massive solar flare will soon reach Earth.

Diana wants to hide in some caves. John agrees at first, but then returns to Lucinda's school for the numbers on the old door, thinking they may be coordinates leading to safety. Before he finds them Diana takes the children and heads for the caves. As Jonathan drives after them, he calls Diana and tries to persuade her against relying on the caves. He warns her that the solar flare will penetrate miles under ground.

While stopped for gas, Diana loses the children to the Strangers. Diana pursues them but is broadsided by a truck. John arrives just as Diana dies, finding the small stone in Diana's hand. He continues to Lucinda's mobile home, finding the children and the Strangers in a dry river bed covered with the stones. A vessel similar to the wheels in the engraving descends from the sky. John is refused entry but allows his son to leave as the Strangers dissolve into translucent alien figures resembling angels. The vessel departs with the children and a pair of rabbits, and a distant shot shows many similar vessels leaving earth.

The next morning the skies are full of smoke and heat. John makes it to the chaotic streets of New York City, arriving at his father's home. They embrace as the solar flare burns away the atmosphere and incinerates everything on the surface of the Earth and even below that. The film ends as Caleb and Abby arrive at an otherworldly valley, then run across a field of golden grass towards a large, white tree.

Thank You For Everything

“Nothing will weigh more heavily in the balance of the believing servant on the Day of Resurrection than a good attitude towards others. Verily Allah hates those who utter vile words and obscene speech.”

Thank you Allah for everything you gave me, for everything you didn’t give me, for everything you protected me from- that which I know and that which I’m not even aware of, thank you for blessings that I didn’t even realize were blessings, thank you from guidance when I felt like I was slipping, and thank you for every thing else because no matter how many things I try to list, at the end of the day, I can’t even come close to thanking you enough.

Indeed, It Will Meet You

Upon Her Return

There was a young man in Damascus who planned to leave his country to study. His mother was very caring and supportive of him. She raised him alone through toil and hardship. And, at last, she felt that after all the hard work--she was proud of her son as any mother would.

"Ah! The joys of motherhood!" she said to hersel...f. The pleasure of staring at this little man, who once held onto her dress begging to be carried and to be tightly clenched by her arms. She recalled the days when he was small and helpless, and yet there he was--embarking on a journey to be the man he was raised to be.

The young man's flight was scheduled to leave early in the morning, thus his mother prepared food and all that was needed for this long trip. Her acts of kindness and loyalty displayed his mother endearing love for him. His excitement as a young man, and her hopefulness as a proud mother, is something we can all relate to.

That morning, she heard over the news that there was a storm headed their way. Out of fear that her son might die on this journey, she decided not to wake him. Instead she left early for the market hoping to surprise him with his favorite food later that morning.

Upon her return, she called out his name in anticipation and excitement--for she had a few more days with him before he would continue on with this journey. But to no avail, there was no response from him. Allah had taken his soul away and he died in his sleep that morning. Story obtained from Al Qaseem Newspaper.

Say, "Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do."

Surat Al-Jumu`ah: 8

I Don't Wanna Know , I Don't Wanna See

I'll go ahead and pour myself a drink
I really couldn't care less what you think
Well I don't have to listen now
Live this day down

If I can't feel a thing You might as well save your goodbyes
We can give this train wreck one last ride
If I don't make things right
I'll tell you one last time

I don't wanna know it's over , So save your goodbye kiss
I don't wanna know it's over , Cause ignorance is bliss
I can hardly see What's in front of me
Cause the vodka's running on empty
I can't stay sober, If it's over

I woke up with my heartbeat in my head
I reached for the bottle by the bed
I saw your side was not slept in
Cold sheets again

Remind me of what you said
We need to take a break for a while
It's been so long since I smiled

Don’t Tell Me, I Don’t Want to Know

UNLESS you are my best friend or my husband, I don’t need to know the macabre symptoms of your gastrointestinal virus. I don’t need to know about how much candy anyone, other than me, has eaten.

There are things I’d rather just not know about you.

Yet I, like most people, have become inundated with Too Much Information about the people I know and the people I wish I didn’t know but am now acquainted with. It’s as if we’re all trapped at a permanent reunion with everyone we ever bumped into at a street fair or waved to mistakenly in the cafeteria.

“The entire world has become this Dickensian series in which you are not visited by three ghosts but by eight million ghosts,” said Sloane Crosley, author of “How Did You Get This Number.” “I feel as if I see things about people that I don’t necessarily want to see, and then it’s lodged like a piece of corn in my subconscious.”
