السلام عليكم
I'm bulletproof, Nothing to lose,
Fire away, Fire away.
Ricochet, you take your aim,
Fire away, Fire away.
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium.
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium.
Currently listening to the piano cover. Ricochet means a shot or hit that rebounds off a surface. More; (HERE). Titanium is a chemical element which has low density and high strength. It can be as strong as some steels but 45% lighter. It can withstand corrosion against sea water, aqua regia and chlorine. Source: Wikipedia.
The song really builds up the confidence in you. There is this beats and rhythm that just ignites the fire inside you. It makes you feel stronger. I dunno. That is what I felt at times.
Currently, I don't have any title to put for the "Post title" section. Sometimes you don't plan to do it. Sometimes you don't plan to post anything in your blog. Sometimes you feel that there is a need to do it. But why? Why does it considered a NEED?
I revised myself. I asked ME. "Dear me, why did you make at personal blog at the first the place?". I guess at that time, blog was a hit. Everybody had a blog. And being a normal teenager surrounded with peer pressure, you are influenced to have one. It is a medium to let out what is inside you i.e. what you feel and what you think. However, how expressing yourselves could ease the inner burden, it can somehow lead to external punishment. People can be SOOOOOOOOOOO judgmental at times *rools eyes*
You are responsible of your own actions.
A blog also lets you to share some crucial tips of surviving the life. But is it surviving or living the life? There was this class where my lecturer drew out the line between surviving the life and living the life. When you want to survive a life that means that there are lots of hardship and you are tend to go beyond boundaries in order to be alive. An example is when you face a shipwreck, you are adrift and alone in the open sea. With confuse mind state and tummy to attend to, you need to be alive to be rescued or at least to be stranded on a lone, inhabited island. In order to survive, you'll try to fish. However, you have no bait. You search for a knife and scrape a layer of the skin of your thumb to make is a bait. This is how you survive the life. (this scene somehow reminds me of the movie 'Life of Pi')
When you try to survive the life you tend to do something that is against your will and what is written in the Quran. In order to survive the so-called glamorous world, you feel that to survive you need to uncover your aurah, to drink intoxicant drinks and to have an unmarried relationship between male and female.
You need to LIVE the LIFE. Allah had created the world for us, not vice versa;
Then We made you successors in the land after them so that We may observe how you will do. Quran, (10:14)
Quran is our map that leads us to Jannah. Enjoin the good and forbid the evil.
There were also times that you wrote something in your blog just to have a some cheap publicity. You feel that it is great to have lots of people reading your blog, to know what you did, what you ate, what you dressed, with whom you were and all that stuffs.
Somehow over this past few months, I felt that I am more mature. Everybody grows right? Last weekend I met my PKTR 2010 clan. I haven't seen them for ages! After a short chat, I felt that everybody changed. They weren't the same person I used to know 2 years ago. They had grown to be someone greater. They had been mold by the fantastic people around them, by the environment, by the knowledge that is in their heart.
At some point, I have an urge to delete all of my previous posts when I was a younger, less immature person. But, you can't erase you past. That is what makes who you are today. Maybe, just maybe when I have the ample time I will read back all of my old post. Maybe to have a good laugh about it. Hahaha! It also need courage taw. A courage to discover back who you were. To remember the wound which now had became a visible scar.
At last,
I had an idea for the 'post title': SAIL.
Sail your boat.
There might be storm,
but it is a norm.
A rainbow stayed for awhile,
and that makes you smile.
Wassalam :)
