Contently In Love

"When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on -series polygamy -until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure relationship we enter."


-Tom Robbins


This in fact is so right! I admit to sometimes feeling that i depend on somebody else for my own happiness and fulfillment but the fact is that I am a creation of my own. I wont be happy or project my self content to others if deep down inside me I can't make my self see all God's giving.


I have been blessed to have a very wonderful family despite our regular fights and misunderstandings. My siblings and I have been brought up into what were once a wealthy family. However, during the economy downturn in the year 1998, my family faced financial crisis. Consequently, it affects all of us -the family members.


Nevertheless, I am thankful and fully blessed that we have managed to overcome the obstruction. Unlike others, divorce is the answer to most financial problems.Therefore I am till now, have the highest gratitude to Allah s.w.t in guiding us all in our journey.


Furthermore, along the way, life has taught me many things. Among them are those you can call friends in need and in deed. My mom always warn me through her own experience that friends won't be there forever. I however feel otherwise. I carefully choose who i want to be friend with and Alhamdulillah most of whom I call friends have always been there for me. For that, I am truly blessed.
