Confessions of A Shameful Offender.

"What if we woke up today, only with the things we were thankful for yesterday." This is a tweet I recently discovered, posted by a friend on Twitter.

Honestly speaking, if this was to occur (God forbid) I'd probably wake up with a cup of tea, and my allowance. I would not be able to do much with it (parentals, this means that I am definitely in need of an increase in my allowance). But most importantly, I wouldn't wake up surrounded by the people in my life whom I claim to love so much.

So often we go through life, busy experiencing it all (trying to live it up), and expecting everything and everyone to be always around, that we forget how temporary this world and, life itself, actually is. We forget that those who we thought would always be by our sides, holding our hands through it all,  may just disappear one day, without us even getting to say goodbye. Well this is life.

It is sad but true, and the fact that we remain ungrateful (myself included as I'm still hustling for that increase in allowance) for the small things, such as a filling meal in our bellies, where millions of helpless children are dying of starvation. They were born into lives of hardship. We have it so easy, yet we fail to acknowledge these bounties. And I am as guilty of this as the next offender. (so I'm starting with the sexy woman in the mirror)

Spending the passed 2 days with my best friend (Femida Amie), my amazing sister-in-law (Shaax), my hero-of-a-brother (Lukey) and the cutest 19 month old , my adorable nephew Uwais. I felt that saying thank you for being part of my life simply wasn't enough. How do you express yourself, knowing that what you feel for these people go beyond words. To every single person who is a part of my life.. I Love You. and I cherish you all.

So my new motto in life is to make as many memories and always let people know how I feel about them. Be grateful for what I have because nothing is guaranteed.
Because as previously learnt the hard way... Regret always comes too late.

Lastly, this is dedicated to the fallen, those gone but never forgotten. You will always be remembered, treasured, and will live on in our memories.

For my BFFE. my diamond. my Fimi. Not a day goes by without you being missed. & I like to think that, if with us today, you'd be somewhat proud of me. ILY Forever & Always.
