the boy in the park, and no girls allowed.

there are days when you look for reasons to be happy. then there are days when those reasons hit you smack in the face and you realize that happiness really isn't necessarily found at the end of a fairytale, or in a song or a movie. it can be found anywhere.it can be found in the childhood memories you almost forgot you had, or in a sand pit playing like you were a little child, with friends you know you'll never be able to forget or with a person who now you believe is yourself. as we lay there today in the sun, i realised how undetached we were. how even the two feet of grass between us was us. and how without really knowing it we were one. today, we were beautiful. even the odd twigs and grass that menacingly entagled themselves in our hair were beautiful. with all our imperfections, we were beautiful.

i usually never pray out loud. but today i pray, and i hope that the happiness i feel today, i will feel forever. that life will forever be so kind to grant me one day in the park once in a while, to remind me that your happiness IS the people that walk with you day after day holding your hand on busy streets, putting up with your baseless issues and phobias and remind you that you are never alone. may Allah grant us the courage to endure.

"the past is..in fact.."in the past"..and that the future is about to become the best past you could ever have."
