…this too shall pass.

Hey, i hope everyone is doing good. Today, the 2nd of July, reminded me of two things; (1) Five months for this year to end. (2) It’s been a while since i last posted. The onset of monsoon and the thought of going away from home in a couple of days to commence something new has made me contemplate about my future;

Yet to be achieved dreams,

remembering ones childhood, Oh that laughter and scream.

Doing things that intimidate you; Questioning ‘Why am i doing this?’

‘Am i not already sick.’

Hoping to meet people that were last seen year/years back,

capabilities replacing areas that you lack.

Pondering over mistakes,

regretting decisions as life allows no retakes.

Yet striving hard to strike a balance, living to the fullest and surpassing any challenge!

Nazia Begum.

*I write this for those of you who are going through a though time or questioning your capabilities; do not worry mate, ….this too shall pass.*
