About Being Safe


Listen to your instincts. Your instincts are the one tool that you always have but don't always use. It is a culmination of all your experiences and all you have learned. It is a built in warning system that humans have that we are socialized away from relying on. It is a built in life saver. Cops learn to trust it. Military personnel live by it. All of them survive in much more dangerous situations than the average person, because the trust their instincts.

Please Let Go



Jangan mengucapkan kata-kata indah dan manis buatku,
 kerana aku takut akan menyayangimu.

Jangan mengambil berat tentang diriku,
 kerana aku bimbang akan mengasihi dirimu.

Jangan terlalu baik padaku,
 kerana aku takut akan merinduimu.

Jangan memberikanku kenangan atau harapan,
 kerana aku khuatir akan jatuh cinta padamu.

Jangan menghargai pertemuan itu,
 kerana aku tidak mahu menderita kerana kehilangan dirimu,
 lantaran perpisahan ini.

Untukmu, Adam.

Someday I...

Going to travel the world...


"Oleh itu, bukankah ada baiknya mereka mengembara di muka bumi supaya - dengan melihat kesan-kesan yang tersebut - mereka menjadi orang-orang yang ada hati yang dengannya mereka dapat memahami, atau ada telinga yang dengannya mereka dapat mendengar? (Tetapi kalaulah mereka mengembara pun tidak juga sebenarnya bukanlah mata kepala yang buta, tetapi yang buta itu ialah mata hati yang ada di dalam dada." (al-Hajj:46)

Who You Are Is Not What You Did



I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back
  
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
  
Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never to late to
Be brand new 

[Almighty Allah's Limitless Mercy]

O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it.

It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its Isnad (chain of authorities) is sound.

Yet

If it doesn’t break your heart,
 it isn’t love.
If it doesn’t break your heart,
it’s not enough.
It’s when you’re breaking down with your insides coming out,
that’s when you find out what your heart is made of.

Our Suitcase

Hey you
 Yeah you
Let's pack our bags
And run, run, run away
 And take trains to places we've never been

When It Rains


Still,
I think of you, baby
And how i grew old with you then
And this summer, you'll call-maybe
And act as if we were old friends
You'd say, 'how are you, baby'
I'd say, 'it's raining in athens'
And to this day

I nurse the fever
That spoiled my poor heart
And i've mastered the art of dealing
Slipping away without falling apart
So when this summer, you call-maybe
And ask how I've been
I can be honest and answer plainly
'Since November, it's been raining'

Rise


Today i'll crawl out of bed
I can't stand your shadow is too heavy to lift
Maybe we'll go for a ride
You said you'd take me nowhere
I said that suits me just fine
I know you've always been near
Whispering secrets i know i'm not supposed to hear
Hold your heart with two hands

Give it to me only to disappear
Look how low i've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I'll only lose you when i'm high
All alone in the dark
Love survives only when we are apart
Your voice still sounds in my ears
Soft explosions that blossom with the beat of my heart

Falling


Swept away
By the wonder of it all
So amazed
Never saw it coming
Left me dazed
And i don't know where to turn

Here and now
Seems i'm standing on the edge
Looking down
I can clearly see your face
In the crowd
Makes me feel i'm not alone

If i fall
Will you catch me

Seems to me
I'm exactly where i dreamt
I would be
And the view from here is
Something to see
But i need a hand to hold on to

If i fall
Will you catch me ?
