aren't you human too?

In the name of Allah, the All-Knowing.

Have you ever felt like you've tried your best yet it wasn't good enough?
Have you ever felt like you've given your all yet it was still not enough?
And have you ever given all till you've got nothing left yet no one saw how hard you tried to give it your very best?


I'm sure everyone has, at some point in life. And I'm no exception.


Moms and dads all over the world who might be reading this, friends, brothers and sisters, just everybody everywhere on Earth, keep in mind, bear in mind, nobody's perfect. 
But we're all trying our best to be the best for everyone, especially for the people we love. 
We make mistakes, but after each one, we learn to be better.
Appreciate the people who would make mistakes for us, they're trying their best for us.
So they stumbled and fell because they didn't do it right, but they are learning and trying to.
And they make mistakes because they keep trying to, trying to be good enough for us.
Don't shut them down, take their hand and help them to get back up instead.
All my life I've been trying to bring out the best in me for the people around me,
I keep trying to give all I can because people kept telling me or rather, showing me that it's not enough, 
and I keep on giving till I don't even realize that I have got nothing left to give or to keep.
I know certain things should be done in a certain way, the way it should be done.
I try to do it just the way it should be done, but I'm only human...I no matter how hard I try to put things together perfectly, there will always be flaws in between.
But I don't need you to tell me how it should be done, I know how it should be done alright, I just couldn't do it as perfectly as you imagined it should be.
I don't need you to tell me that I can't do anything right, because everytime I try, you keep telling me it's not good enough.
It's like everytime I get back on my feet again, you come and throw stones and rocks at me to throw me down.
You call it 'teaching'; teaching me to be better. I call it, 'discouraging'.
I know you've set standards. I know how high it is as well. But goddammit I'm trying my freaking best alright.


You know, the next time you want to say something to people,
try put yourself in their shoes first, and think about what they have gone through for you,
they are trying.
Because I would say,
'Hey, it's alright. Take your time, it's worth waiting for anyway. You worth more than anything else and I want you to know that I've got your back'

If only...
