CUL DE SAC

There is no place in this world that we belong to until we fix ourselves to be in it. 

If you are cynical, judging and most of the time, you overly predict human behavior and responses, and you are terribly blunt with words or facial expressions which of course additionally you have poor control over your quick reactions, think of a traffic light: Red means STOP, Yellow means BE CAREFUL, and Green means GO! You cannot remove the reaction that you have. You would probably be thinking and processing the information in your brain while dealing with it at the same time. The key is to delay the reaction. Do not react so quickly. If it is RED, then it is RED all the way. Next, allow yourself to let everything go. Do not even think or talk about it with another person. In your prayers, ask forgiveness from Allah for looking at His creations wrongly. May Allah bless us and our efforts to change ourselves for the better.

Once I was told to expect less because having expectations would somehow hurt me. Nevertheless, if you truly understand that nothing is coincident, or that every person is here/there for a reason, or that a leaf falls exactly at the time it is meant to fall; you would see that there is one expectation that you are allowed to have, that is, the expectation that you will get a fair share of every action that you do, and that God will give you exactly what you need. Hence, if there is a need for you to be happy, make others happy, surely, God will make you happy too (or vise versa). 

Every time I listen to Incubus, there's this distant memory of my past plays in my brain like a black-and-white movie with no sounds.
