Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path. No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded. Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything. Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?  I don’t know. —————— It’s almost a week into the new year and while I should be typing out my FYP report, here I am, falling prey to the ultimate distraction- the internet. As much as I really feel compelled to fill the empty space with something worth reading, I am dumbfounded as to what to write about. I have never been the type of person who blogs, to be honest. I’m pretty sure that this blog wouldn’t last for long either. But just for the record, I’m going to give blogging another shot.   It would be an understatement to say that 2011 has been a whirlwind roller coaster of events, emotions and whatnot. I suppose it’s safe to say that the 2011 just wasn’t a good year. But I’m thankful that because of it, I came out a better and stronger person. I’m also thankful for the amount of support I never thought I had from the various different people around me. It’s safe to say that when you’re at your lowest point, you know who’s really there for you, who your real (family and) friends are. (And I thank everyone of you, sincerely, who’s been there for me.) In retrospect, I suppose 2011 does have it’s enthralling moments, albeit the fact that it has moments where reality simply disenchants you of all your quixotic hopes and dreams. Nevertheless, I am more than gratified that despite everything, I still have you, H. Alhamdulillah. I love you- always, all ways. So, I suppose that sums up my (belated) new year post or end of year reflection post or whatever bloggers call it. :/
