[Day 7] What is the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced

April 11, 2016 / 21 Comments
“I thought the hardest thing in life is about going through pain and heartbreak, when people started to say ‘you can’t forget your first love’, then why do people forget their parents?”

I was pretty confused because…I don’t know what is the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. I am not even experienced yet. I never see something like a burden to me. There is always ups and downs and life, and that’s just how life is. People said the biggest challenge in life is marriage. I haven’t experienced it yet, and I don’t know if my experiences are enough to call me experienced. As a 17 years old who knows nothing about the world and have zero experience in life, I’ll try to sort it out.
I thought the hardest thing in life is surviving for school, but it’s not as hard as the homeless who survived on the road every day. I thought the hardest thing in life is choosing a restaurant to eat, but there are still unlucky people who don’t know whether they will eat or not tomorrow. Survive from school is not that vital. I thought the hardest thing in life is saying hello and goodbye, but it’s much better than never try to make a move. I thought the hardest thing in life is choosing to risk it all or walk away. I thought the hardest thing in life is deciding whether to give up or just try harder. I thought the hardest thing in life is pretending, but I am doing it quite well.
I thought the hardest thing in life is loving ourselves, but loving Allah and His messenger need a pure and sincere heart. I thought the hardest thing in life is the disappointment of failing on exams, but it is not as big as the disappointment of the parents who sees their kids leaving them as they grow up. I thought the hardest thing in life is about going through pain and heartbreak when people started to say you can’t forget your first love, then why do people forget their parents? I am feeling so guilty for my parents, I’ve never been good doing my job as a daughter. 
There are things we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go. I think these are the major thing to perceive the meaning of life. Whether something is hard or easy, it depends on how people see it. Well, back to it again, everything in life always depended on our choice. To love or not to love, to care or not to care, to give or not to give, and the list goes on. Just remember one thing, no matter how hard life gets, Allah will make everything beautiful at the right place and the right time.
