Every year, billions of Muslims around the globe observe the importance of the month of Ramadan. This time of the year is a time for reflection, devotion to God, and self-control. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims show their devotion to God by fasting.
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and Muslims are required to fast during this month. The fast is to abstain from food, drink and marital relations from dawn until sunset, but Muslims are also encouraged to increase in their worship in general and also the recital of the Holy Qur’an. In accordance with the practice of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) Charity is also encouraged in this month.
Ramadan is an important time for Muslims, not simply because it helps develop a closer relationship with God, but also because Ramadan is a time to think about those who are less fortunate. Another goal of fasting for Ramadan is to experience hunger in sympathy for those without food. It is a way that many Muslims learn thankfulness and appreciation for what they have.
The benefits of fasting for Ramadan are numerous. The most important, though, is the idea that through the self-control of fasting one can pay special attention to his spiritual nature.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who compare themselves to a better version of themselves and those who feel that they’ve conquered the world when they successfully tie their shoelaces every morning.
( Stuart from MADTV )
The world we live in is all about perception. You can tell a lot about a person from the way they perceive themselves in relation to the world around them. This is where the difference between low self esteem and confidence comes in. A confident person has a realistic perception of where they stand in relation to the rest of the world. A person with low self esteem, however, has a false sense of this relationship. The way we view ourselves controls the way we react to life’s obstacles.
When something goes wrong and someone tells me that “it could be worse,” I feel as if they are insulting…

It’s kinda fucked up isn’t it?
How all of sudden, someone just wakes up and decides to never talk to you again. No reason. No explanation. No words said. They just leave you hanging like you never meant shit to them, and what hurts the most is how they made it look so easy.

I crave the feeling of being needed
because I’m tired of being the one in need
I’m sick of feeling indebted
because all my life I was taught to say thank you and please
I’m sick of feeling like I owe my life to someone, everyone
Because even though I do, it still hurts to think it’s true
I crave to give
because I’m sick of being the one to beg
I am not ungrateful.
Indeed, I am not.
But would it kill you to stop pushing me down
even when I’m lying on the ground?
Or smile in front of me
Then smirk when I turn around?
I may have had to beg for everything I have
But I still have fellings
It may be all of what I can call mine

Lollipops turns into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes into trash. Mobile phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes Vodka. Bikes becomes cars. Kisses turn into sex. DO YOU REMEMBER when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth and Mom was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings, Race issues were about who run the fastest, War was only a card game, And the only drug you knew was cough medicine. When wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, And goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn’t wait to grow up. IT IS WHAT IT IS but Remember What’s done is never done, it remain within us, the story we tell ourselves so we know who we are.
When we first met, I didn’t want to get involved with anyone. I didn’t have the time or energy, and I wasn’t sure that I was ready for it. But you were so good to me, and I got swept up in that. And little by little, I found myself falling in love with you…!
I think it’s absolutely crazy how feelings can flicker so quickly, Deteriorate so easily, One minute my ears are filled with the sound of your soothing voice complementing my every thought, Mistake and Action then the next you plaster me with doubt mentally suffocating me with criticism. I don’t know which is the truth and which is the lie Or what hurts more, The compliments or the Suffocation. Weird isn’t it?! I’m not sad because your feelings changed Or that you lack understanding. No. I’m sad that you are letting go of someone who was willing to change themselves into better person. Change for you. All the care and feeling I have towards you is being thrown away. You let go of that, you let go of me and you’ll never find that again. Another Guy? Sure, but not the feelings I had, No matter how hard you search. Never. Giving you a chance and showing the slightest bit of affection was an ocean of effort. Appreciate me. Patience is all we needed, all you needed but waiting seemed like a forever maze, An inescapable facade, An emotional trap, I can’t keep living in the past, The only time that’s real is now, Our touch, our laughter, Forever hugs, Feelings, Kisses And every depressing word I just wrote no longer exists. It’s in the past. DEAD!
