Everyone is going to go through this time, being a teenager. Maybe some of you have gone through it, some of you maybe will go through it or maybe some of you are struggling in this period of time by being a teenager right now.
Well, being a teenager, for example, I’m 17. And of course, it is the time where you have to go through a lot of things in your life…More than you imagine…You have to struggle academically, physically and emotionally. Teenage life is the time where you decide your path, your choice, whether it is right or wrong, whether others’ opinion are important or not. You tend to question yourself with a lot of things on what you should do, what have you done and so on. Well, it’s the moment when you starting to mature.
Sometimes, you’ll be a kid again when you’re being teenager. The time when you learn what you have done all this while by being a kid. whether it is a lesson,a joke, a reminder and whatsoever, it’s your choice. Because it depends on how you look your childhood life was.
An undeniable thing by being a teenager is you have to fight physically and emotionally. Say that you’re 14, 15, 17, and so on..yet you have to be strong. You’re going to allow your heart to be broken a lot of times even though you die so much that you don’t want it to happen in your life because who likes to feel the pain? Yet, you did the same mistakes again and again. I’m not pointing to anyone, because I’m not perfect either. Same goes to me, I did a lot of mistakes and I’m struggling being a teenager right now.
People said , “first time is mistake. So, you have to learn from it and never make the same mistake twice because it will be your choice”.
what if.. you do the same mistake for third time, fourth, fifth and so on.. Well,same goes then, the third, fourth and so on comes because of your choice made by mistakenly choosed.
My life, of course, might be different from you..mine , even though in the same Earth, yet we’re different people, and Allah has destined the His servant with different path…
How about problem? Nobody comes without any single problem, everyone has problem..SAME but, how they go through the problem is the matter that would be the distinct differences for each person in this world.
We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and fruits of your toil. But give good news to the steadfast: Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, “We belong to Allah and to Him we will return”. Those are the people who will have blessings and mercy from their Lord; they are the ones who are guided. ~Chapter 2, Verse 155-157We can’t simply judge people and say they look happy and always smile because they don’t have any problem and don’t feel the pain in life. No, it’s not as what you see.
I’ve a lot of friends in campus that look like always-smile-happy-go-lucky person…but actually deep inside, they’ve gone through a lot of things in life. Creepy life, sad, and miracle things happened far than we can imagine. And they have a lot of untold stories. They just show you the only part of them that you want to see.
Every people has 3 parts of life :
1) Part of them that they choose to reveal to you.
2) Part of them that how we see them
3) Part of them that you might don’t want to see.
For those who exercise patience, Allah (swt) will help and show a way out of every difficulty.
And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,Allah (swt) in various places in the Holy Quran links patience and perseverance to success.
And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion. ~Chapter 65, Verse 2-3
Seek Allah’s help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humble. ~Chapter 2, Verse 45
Be happy being yourself… I do understand many of you sometimes wish to be someone else, but believe me, there are lot people who wish to be you so much but you don’t realise. I’m a teenager, and it happened to me, wishing to be someone else when I have a lot of problems. But then I realise, my problems were not so heavy that compare to others…and I praise to Allah for giving me a lot of things more than I deserve. Alhamdulillah..
