A Drifting Thought
You get into ur car, u drive home, open the door, turn on the lights, eat dinner, watch tv, go on QL, etc and seem to repeat the same routine everyday. Well atleast that's how it's been for me.
It seems that everyday is a replica of the day before, constantly doing the same thing...studying, eating, sleeping and over again. Sure I go out and have fun in the weekends, but aren't there times when u wonder why ur here and what ur doing and whether it's worth it? Don't u wonder sometimes if this is the life u wanted ?
I wonder sometimes whether it's worth it all, whether it's worth the sleepless nights, the stressful days, the hard work...and it is.Yes, sometimes I feel like I don't want to talk to anyone for no specific reason, do u feel that? Yes, sometimes I feel like leaving everying behind and going somewhere far far away, don't u feel that sometimes? But then the slighest detail, the smallest sign tells u that u are right where u should be, doing what u were destined to do. And it is then that u feel at peace knowing that no matter what God will hold u in his palm. I have a very curious nature, and always wonder how the future would be like, and then I realise that whatever happens it's for the best.
So next time ur lost, confused or depressed just look around and think. U are where ur supposed to be and everything happens for a reason. I truly believe that. I know now that I'm where I'm supposed to be, doing what I'm meant to do, and I couldn't be happier. So when times are tough, don't give up, but have faith. May u all find peace and happiness wherever it may be.

Cornellian, ...I just came across your blog and I have read a few topics - A walk to remember ... I also read a lot of positive comments about your writing skills. Here is what I feel;
On the positive side, there is a lot of energy and some essence in your writing. On the negative aspect, you have to learn to maintain a steady flow. Your thoughts are disorganized and you tend to jump from one thought to other breaking the interest of the reader.
In my opinion your witty-ism is your biggest asset and you should make use of it effectively even in serious philosphical write-ups.
I don't intend to discourage you in any way but ignore what I say if it hurts you.

A blog isn't supposed to be ...A blog isn't supposed to be some great novel that is edited a million times over in hopes of being the greatest thing on earth for the readers. A blog is a flow of thoughts and events. Who cares if it jumps from one topic to another? If it's interesting it's interesting. If it's not it's not.

My critical opinion is based ...My critical opinion is based on the fact that Corne is taking 'writing' seriously and she would appreciate an honest open outlook. I can see she is talented but the talent lies dormant and has to be tapped. She appears to hold back when writing. Her free spirit does not reflects in her articles. I am sure she does'nt expect all opinions to be 'goody goody' and will value my views.

I saw on TV - and what you wrote ...This morning I watched a TV interview with a 29 year old man in America, sporty, fit, agile, handsome and had cancer.
The interview travelled with him for one year through his cancer and the re-occurance of his cancer. All through this period he remain optomistic and had setbacks but continued to believe he would beat it.
Finally after over one year he had the great news last Christmas that he had finally been cured of the cancer, what inspired me the most was his will to survive even in days when things looked so bleak for him.
Unfortunately, a couply of weeks ago he was diagnosed with cancer again having three tumours surrounding his heart and the cancer is rapidly progressing. He gets up every day knowing it might be his last but is still fighting to keep that little light of hope burning and believing he will be healed.
He actually inspired me for my own day and life, as I have had many setbacks and a few accidents over the past six months which were in reality minor things, but just too often.
Most days I am glad when I get up to see the sunrise in the morning, but a person like him is striving for survival every minute.
Hope he makes it.

When I get such thoughts. I ...When I get such thoughts. I always think of those who dont have half as much as I do and I thank Allah for what he has given me and blessed me with. There are alot of people out there, who dont even have shelter to sleep under, or clothes to wear or books to study and then i end up feeling guilty for being unthankful to him. It's very easy to be ungreatful, but it takes alot of courage to look down and be greatful for all that we have. From the kind of life i've lived, I try to live in the moment and not give my future alot of thought, besides being successful at work, relegion, family and developing lebanon. But those are just are just dreams and to make a dream come true, we have to give it all, sometimes even more than we could. But like Allah has said " ask and you shall recieve " all that we need to do is believe in him.
