I don’t really show how I feel, but internally, I feel the deepest oceans. Echoing in the deepest shells.<br>I have never prioritized myself, regardless of the situation I am in.<br>I had never prayed for myself; no matter how sick I was, I felt that perhaps I deserved it all.<br>That pain was my very identity—and I remain wrapped in it still. I have never been like those &#39;normal&#39; people.<br>Because I didn’t have a backbone like theirs.<br>My backbone has screws and wires to be stable <br>I was suffering from two illnesses, and the fact that I had both simultaneously was rare for the doctors. But to be honest, despite the immense pain, I remained silent—even though a flood of tears was surging within me.<br>When I went to get treated, I saw a boy there—he must have been around 9 or 10 years old—who had typhoid and was undergoing medical tests.</p><p>and I had to undergo some that were far more difficult than his, because they involved passing an electric current through my nerves.To check if the nerves are blocked or working well<br>If I hadn’t undergone the surgery, perhaps I wouldn’t be able to tell or write about all this today—nor would I be able to see the beauty of this world.<br>And then, even knowing that my own suffering was greater than his, I don’t know why I became a part of his pain. I began to feel his suffering more acutely. I began to cry, not for myself, but for him. I had completely forgotten that I, too, was in pain.<br>At that moment, I wanted to give him my own health; he needed it—and the life that comes with it—more than I did, so that he could see his parents happy.<br>I still want him to be happy and well, wherever he is.</p><p>Maybe he was too young to witness the pain.</p><p>The very words others spoke to me</p><p>ones I never accepted.<br>I never wanted people to pity me, but I have seen so many people doing exactly that.<br>I have never felt so deeply for anyone.<br>Perhaps it was because I was in pain at the time; I cried for two hours, even though I didn’t feel any emotions for myself.<br>It is as if I never possessed any feelings at all.<br>I was not weak, but I understood the pain, because I was deeply invested in it. <br>I never wanted anyone else to suffer, but such are the trials of this world.<br>Who can truly escape them?<br>No matter how skilled you may be, that trial will always surpass your expectations.<br>But only your faith and patience can carry you through<br>These were just the feelings I shared; in reality, there is a much bigger story ahead</p><p>one that I will likely reveal little by little.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=53406da26643" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/islamic-reunion-of-thoughts-irot/something-about-me-53406da26643">Something about me…</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/islamic-reunion-of-thoughts-irot">Islamic Reunion of Thoughts (IROT)</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

They don’t know whether or not I still have the capacity to feel that way.<br>They don’t know that, perhaps, I still want to bring back those very moments.<br>I meant nothing to them; That is why it was easy to forget me, Easy to leave me alone, Easy to cause me pain. Everything that was difficult for me was easy for them.<br>Why try to find out about me when everything has come to a complete halt?<br>You should have either let go completely or made it work.<br>But I am tired now. I don’t want to see you. Either I hate you, or I miss you.<br>Either it happens, or I find myself missing you; But what you did—neither you nor anyone else could accept it.<br>It is okay to simply let go of certain things, because they are neither meant for you nor can you hold onto them.<br>But then, why are these memories and meetings left behind, which my heart did not think fit to forget? Maybe that heart was ignorant of the principles of this world<br>I showed you a different side of myself—one that was always laughing, always happy, and talkative; a side that had never known the shadow of sorrow.<br>But you pushed me there<br>Ask anyone now: am I the same person I used to be? Do I still find happiness the way I once did? Do I still speak with that same flow of words?</p><p>Do I still smile the way I used to?<br>And they are as unknown to the answer as you are.<br>Grief has turned me into a withered flower—one that used to bloom radiantly.<br>If my heart was ignorant before, it is learning the quiet art of survival now.<br>Time gone by cannot return; <br>I am no longer that person.<br>Unable to draw the breath<br>I once breathed in years gone by.<br>Be the soil upon my grave,<br>But do not enter in;<br>Scatter away like dust.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=3e401f0580b0" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/no-time/leaving-everything-behind-3e401f0580b0">Leaving everything behind...</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/no-time">No Time</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

But technically, this is my first birthday. <br>I know I wrote &quot;16th birthday&quot; in the title, so &quot;first birthday&quot; doesn’t mean I’m 1 year old or that I was born last year. <br>Actually, I was closer to death last year and somehow got another chance at life. <br>It’s easy to hear these words, <br>but only the one who goes through it knows.<br>getting a new life means you have to learn <br>to walk <br>to breathe<br>to switch on your brain<br>to feel <br>to activate your whole body <br>and your senses<br>I’ll write specific article about it<br>Because I lost what once was mine, I feel like I’m no longer human anymore <br>even though this is my biggest insecurity but I think you guys will find it motivational <br>that how I come to terms with my illness and try to live with it<br>not soon but I will write <br>because after that I started writing down every moment I live <br>whether its full of pain or love<br>Now let’s come to the point. <br>I think birthdays are the loneliest day ever. <br>Because on ordinary days, you don’t really want everyone to love you. <br>But on this day specifically, you want to feel special. <br>Not because it’s your birthday. <br>But because of how much longer you’re going to live after that.<br>this is what i think about it<br>maybe you think different <br>you can share<br>So, I am a Leo summer and spring are my type of seasons like everything arounds you takes on bright colours <br>And this is why I feel like my birthday is celebrated by flowers and butterflies. <br>We all come together. <br>Golden leaves show their varied beauty, and water waves shine like crystals. <br>I don’t feel anything more after nature celebrates my birthday.<br>plus,squirrels come to me asking which flavour of cake I like<br>of course, I always say chocolate 🙃<br>Idk why my freaking words always end on nature😭 but sorry a lot guys if I sound childish <br>I’m just too obsessed.ʕ⁠っ⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠ʔ⁠っ<br>After my illness I was yearning to see everything again <br>I missed my old buddies(squirrels),the greenery and the sky <br>Because for so long I was closed in a room, with only misery for company<br>Now on my first birthday, nature is celebrating me yayyy!!💗(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=dfb477e42402" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/no-time/today-is-my-16th-birthday-dfb477e42402">Today is my 16th birthday</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/no-time">No Time</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
