OUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT

Man alone measures time. 
Man alone chimes the hour. 
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. 
A fear of time running out.

The Time Keeper, Mitch Albom 

Do I fear time running out? As a Muslim, the significance of another birthday celebration is the marking of being closer to death. Alhamdulillah, another day..Alhamdulillah another year. Alhamdulillah. Period.

I am not in any way feeling morbid or harboring any suicidal hate. Nor do I feel like I am tittering on the edge of a cliff. But these words are simply reflections. Of the what used to be and what's to come.

For now..there are many firsts on my to-do lists. But looking it over, it feels rather inadequate as opposed to being in the late-20s already. Hmm, i guess 'being grateful' should top the list first and foremost.

Anyways, 4th October 2012 had been memorable in more ways than one. I learned a lesson, albeit not so valuable, but meaningful non the less.  To see what's right in front of me all these while. To sincerely accept, to keep my silence and to stop thinking about it..okay,that didn't come out right.. so it sounded more poetic in bm..heheh..the words went like this..

Ada kalanya..kita sampai ke satu titik..
Di mana...
Kita harus..
Pasrah.
Diam.
Ikhlas.
dan
Tidak lagi memikirkanya.....   

*percubaan untuk tidak memikirkan.hoho*
 SEKIAN. Assalamua'alaikum.
