For a while, I placed my head on the table and there was something pushing me inside to cry. I really want to cry. I just feel crying would make me feel better. But I don’t think I will. I won’t.
You see, Ahmad, recent events have made me realise that no matter how we try to seek happiness and fulfillment, there will be days that'll break us down. Moments would arise when we feel hopeless, helpless, and confused. We fill our minds with series of questions: What is the end to all these? Why do I keep trying when I'm not certain about the end results?
I've learnt to accept that I can't always be happy. I've learnt to cry when I want to. I've accepted the fact that life will always be filled with ups and downs, bouts of sadness and worry, and uncertainty about what the future holds.
Thanks for this wonderful piece, Ahmad. I'm glad to learn that you're heading back to your normal life.
Maryam, you know, I have come to realize that sadness is a process of living. That we have to experience sadness so that we could appreciate happiness when it comes. Thank you so much for reading and for sharing these words with me. Means a lot.
You'd be fine, man! And do cry if you want to!
Thank you, Ife. I hope so.
