the thing im going to miss most when i leave home will be the sky.
it's always the perfect shade of blue here when it's sunny and there's always clouds in the sky. whenever it gets too hot to bear outside, the wind blows soothingly and the wind chime i hung at the porch tingles. the heat doesnt bother me, because it means that it's once again laundry day, and i dont have to worry about the clothes hung outside to dry. for all five years ive spent in stf, ive never come across a day when the sky there in jb could compare with here in my hometown. the color blue always seems to be a few shades paler, and duller. that's the reason ive never bothered to look up and enjoy the sky there in stf. because it made me feel bad about missing my hometown again and again.
these 7 months ive spent at home, ive learned a lot of things about my parents, and most importantly, myself. ive discovered that i was a bad cook, and an awful planner as well, which made my father had to endure months of having just bread, butter and sugar for breakfast. ive learned the fact that im good at learning a new language when im really interested in it, and ive found out that there's nothing wrong in admitting that you've made a mistake everytime you did. thanks to dr oz, ive learned a lot of things about healthcare even before i started college and majoring in medicine. ive spent lots of time watching medical tv shows, reading self-help books, playing with my cats, doing the chores at home, cycling around the neighbourhood, making new friend(s), losing old ones, and putting my heart back into place. i could say that time was not wasted on me. ive improved a great deal back here at home.
somewhere at some point in time, i know that i wont be able to enjoy the simplest things in life the way i do right now. time has its way of taking away the youthful carefree feelings and innocence away from someone. no matter how many times i declared that i wont let anything change the way i see life, i know that the inevitable will occur, in any ways it can through. years from now i'll be burdened with new responsibilities, my mind will be bearing new ideas, i'll know new people, forget the old friends i had, and i'll have less time to spend for friends, family and who knows? myself.
but before any of that can happen, im trying as hard as i could to make sure that i'll be able to enjoy life in any ways possible so i wont regret later on in life, when all of this dissipated.
not many people knows that the things in our life are not there to stay. and so, they keep on with their businesses, postponing time to just look around and enjoy the wonderful little things Allah has given us humans. they thought that the sky will always remain blue tomorrow, and the day after that, when in truth, it wont.
and so i'll keep reminding myself to turn around once in a while and look out my window to see the miracles unfolding in the world outside. i'll keep on looking up into the sky, and remember how perfect the sky here looks, and how pleasant it is to feel the heat from the sun on my skin.
remember, the blue sky is not here to stay. that cute kitten will not stay small forever. the weather will not always be nice. that girl who loves you secretly wont be able to wait for you forever.
you just need to look around, just once, and see that the one you've been waiting for your whole life time had always been there with you.
but you've never noticed them. or her.
