this short note says thank you

In the name of Allah, the best listener, although unseen.

"Lord won't give you more than you can handle"            
-Anita Joyce to the world

yes my friend; truth in every word.

About 2 years ago I heard a Quran verse that say the same thing. Allah is Most Merciful, remember? Sometimes we know, we remember, we realize, but as humans, every now and then we forget, we lose ourselves to things that are sometimes fake and most of the time temporary. As humans, we have limitations in strength, patience, courage, spirit, faith, most of all, we have limited resilience. Humans are weak, and  unique at the same time; because the force of gravity and two feet are not enough for them to keep standing, they need extra support that are sometimes even more crucial than their very own two feet. What are they? You tell me. For once in my life, I don't feel so angry anymore when being told to stay strong. I've got sick and tired of people telling me to be strong because, hell, you don't know how strong I've tried to be, and you don't know how long I've tried to keep myself as strong as no one you've ever known, because it's as if that's just the only thing to say when confronting troubled people like me. But for once, I don't feel that way anymore when this friend of mine said it. There's something in the way she said it that made it sound real, not pretentious, and sincere. I've said in previous post, I won't let Him down anymore, and trust me, I won't let you down too. God willing, I'll do my best. My grandma wouldn't want to watch me give up if she's still around, and I won't let her down too. Only now, my greatest weakness is when the people I love are unhappy, especially, my family, my heart just froze to devastation. 
Sometimes you are just on your own, but alone or with company, you know you've got to keep going.
