what life taught me ;)

I’m glad my mom raised me up to be the person I am today.

I’m glad she didn’t give me just everything that I wanted that easily.

I’m glad she’s made me work to get them.

I’m glad mom didn’t tell me that we’re wealthy, but taught me to live a simple life with simple needs and no demands.

I’m glad she didn’t teach me to boast around about the things I have. I’m glad she’d taught me not to grieve on the things that I don’t have, but appreciate the things that I already have.

I’m glad my mom taught me that we came from a family that hoped on nothing but scraps and money from rubber-tapping everyday for a living, so I knew that we’ve started from nothing, not born into a wealth, all-having family.

I’m glad my dad’s not a Dato’, but a simple man who knows even how high he could get on top everyone else, he will still have someone higher than him.

I’m glad my family’s living a simple but happy life, instead of living wealthily but unhappily.

I’m glad my grandmother lived up to show me how money means nothing without love.

I’m glad I know I’m poor, and that I’m going to stay that way if I don’t do anything about it.

I’m glad I was sent to this place and know all types of people there are here, so I won’t be like them.

I’m glad Allah didn’t spoil me with money, wealth, everything.

I’m glad I still have my family to be with me when I’m happy or sad, instead of just my money.

I’m glad I feel disgusted when I see wealthy and rich people treating others like rubbish, because I would take note of how cruel and immoral people could get with power and money, and that they’ll turn out to be worst than animals.

I’m glad I’m not friends with those who don’t even know the difference between bawang and bawang besar, or kunyit and halia, or kulit kayu manis and cengkih, or timun and peria.

I’m glad I was born into a loving family, who gets happiness from nothing else but being with the people we loved.

I’m glad mom never forgets to remind me who I really am and who helped me to become who I am right now.

I’m glad I realized the fact that my life depended on other people, not only myself.

I’m glad I had friends who loved me and hurt me, so I know the difference between the good ones and the bad ones.

I’m glad I’ve had people who betrayed me, so they showed that not all people like me they way I am, and I’ll change for the better.

I’m glad that I have loved and lost, rather than never be in love at all.

I’m glad Allah gave me life.

I’m glad Allah took my brother away from me even before I could know him, because I He didn’t he would live just being hurt.

I’m glad I never got to with the person that I like, or else I would be doing nothing but waste my time.

I’m glad that I had no boyfriends at all.

I’m glad I was born a muslim, and thought to live that way as well.
