Shouting at the top of my lungs
Don't ask me to speak.
I will not speak now; even the deaf could hear the bitterness in my voice.
It is kind of a cool pic. Sorry to freak you out with the negativity AM. :)
Thanks Kidinme. I really do believe that. If I didn't then things would be much worse in my life. Alhamdulillah. But I know that if I don't let myself experience (or acknowledge) some emotion over the things that really affect me, then I never would learn of the blessing to come; I would never learn of disappointment and how to overcome it; I would never experience true happiness or miserable failure. I know that Allah tests us in all ways imaginable. I also know that Allah says in the Quran that even something bad for you is good in ways only He knows (and we may one day learn). And so the resentment was there when I wrote those words. The resentment for many things is still there. But I know of the bigger plan and just pray that I make the best decisions from here on out.
Jazak Allahu khair for the reminder--I really needed it to reflect some more.
Oh, and sorry for the entry in the comments section. :)
