Lacking Some Life

HI HELLO
Greetings :)
I sure am glad to be back on after quite a long break!
The word 'break' brings to announce a soothing news, HOLIDAYS well to be exact 5days but it's not quite a holiday and so I'd like to wish all my Muslim readers and friends, an Eid Mubarak! :)

A pause from all hard work, studying, elections, programmes and more.
Don't worry, there's homework to always fill that place.
I've got a different kind of topic for today.
Something a little more on a serious note.

'Parents'.

It's not an advisory piece on what a parent is or a rant on the times I was shouted at by my parents.
But it's also about Family and Life.

I was just opening possibly ever social networking site I am on and I came across something that glued me to the screen and I just had to share it.

Some of you all may know the site 'ask.fm'. (basically it's a Q&A site). People can ask you questions and you can answer them (or not) where it will then be displayed on your profile. You can like answers as well.

So here is what I read,
' Q. What affects you most about losing your parents?

A:There are certain things that really affect me.
Phone calls, their birthdays, occasions, festivals, etc.
But, I'd say what really affects me is during major achievements and milestones in life, I had no one to share it with.
It's when I win 1st place at a theatre festival and I'm going crazy with my cast/friends and before reaching home, I tell them, I'll be there for the party this evening, I go up the stairs, open the door and...
... there's silence.
Pin.
Drop.
Silence.
The only thing greeting me are the smiling photographs of two very incredible people. It jabs me like a knife.
At my high school graduation, everyone had their parents on either side of them. I was the only one in an auditorium consisting of roughly 500 people who had two vacant chairs on either side of him and I sat there pretending like I didn't notice the stares.
I honestly don't like talking about this.
But, I honestly urge you people to make the most of your parents and not take them for granted. You have no idea how much they matter to you until you've lost them.
Do I miss my parents, you ask?
I'm lying on a single bed in a house and I'm staring up at the fan slowly turning and the greatest tragedy of it is that I can't pick up that phone and hear my parents concerned voices. Not now. Not ever. Never.

This isn't about the likes or the boy because I don't know him either but it is more of how this incident hurt him more than anything else and what he'd do to get it back.
How unstable is this life?
I for one don't like taking part in much. Let it be athletics, singing, art competitions, speaking, performing or any kind of extra curricular activity unless I am pushed and the fact is I can do it all. I just never tried.
Do I have a guaranteed warrant for 50years to keep postponing any of this?
Do my parents have an extra 30years set out for them for sure?
 
Never have I thought of this deeply until today and the fact is... it scares me already.
I am not always around my parents, spending as much time as I can...and maybe there are others out there like me but what if? Life is unpredictable.
 
Give a little timeout for them and just tell them you love them.

No matter what because the truth is, you do.

Never forget your parents, they are the reason why you are here and for who you are
 
Keep smiling readers.
Let's be grateful today, for our parents :)

Inspiring Young Individuals

My mom once told me "If someone takes their life, there are many to blame. A harsh word, a mean act would force them to think of the worst. On the contrary, just imagine saving a life unintentionally by slipping in a supportive message, so always be nice to people because you don't know what they're going through." -- If you're having a bad day, i would like you to cheer up! You made it through a hell of a week of schooling and you're past another challenging day. Maybe you had a fight with a friend you care about, maybe you got the result of a horrible paper or maybe your parents shouted at you and their words pierced you. You're possibly in a state of giving up on all humanity&hope.  But you know what?  I won't go all wise with quotes and of course it's hard but it's not the worst. There's still more to come and if you don't face any ups and downs, you aren't alive. The human tendency is to look at the negatives more th...

Page 1 of 365 At the approach of a new year, it’s a new slate, all things good for us to gain As one that waits for none; a loophole of time, a new opportunity in the form of a new year is here again. 365 days to evolve and progress, a new leaf to sprout in you For you to improve, grow and always stay true. Trudging up to the edge of 2016; into the new year, diving headfirst, With lessons and memories; for a life of knowledge, in me is a thirst. I will remember after this long and event-filled year, not to lash But realise to spread love like I own an endless stash Ignorance may be bliss but in life- this bubble of hard-hitting reality, Take a vow to be a better version; make the world yours, step by step readily. Here is your chance, beautiful soul Every regret and mistake; reminisce in how strong you’ve become, don’t let it take a toll The past is the past Do not postpone, make your worth here last Let’s work on our resolutions, face...

Hi and Hello

Hi and Hello to everyone  Okay, so I am new to this kind of exposure so please forgive me if any mistakes occur. Not everyone has to understand what I write but I hope I make people happy with what I do. If I say something that is insulting or demeaning in any manner, I promise you that isn't what I mean. To introduce myself: I would describe myself as an average 14 year old ( female ) teenager, making tons of mistakes. A teen with a passion to read, write and with support, I take one step forward to follow my dream. I am part of a big family but to give you the gist, I am one of six. I am blessed with a loving dad, he is the best and I love him more than I can ever put in words. A mother that always gives me the best and my inspiration to write and read with such endless passion. A sister, who is actually 6 years older to me. ( she's okay..I'm kidding, she is the best ms.goody two shoes i could ever have ) And my grandma :)) ahh she is such a big pillar in my l...
