Bright side of everything

On new year's day, me and my friends went to the movies and chose "The impossible".

at first I was little hesitated because personally I prefer fantasy movies, but I decided to give it a go; who knows I might like it, and I am very glad I did watch it.


The movie shows that many things we consider important are really not and everything will come up to an end no matter what.

sometimes when we are in tough situations, we only think that this is the end of the world and we lost everything.
we need to think beyond that, I took a decision -long time ago- that whenever I am depressed because of something I will look at the bright side, somehow the movie was like an example.

from my own experience, I was living with my dad as my mom left us when I was 10 and I had the worst times of my life, for a middle eastern culture and with a stubborn father I had to take the responsibility of all the housework with the help of my sisters and study at the same time. being the eldest means you have to deal with everything from A to Z, my father was not understanding at all.

This made me very angry I hated both mom and dad because I am taking the responsibility of their actions.
I spent nights crying and nights wishing to die and not to wake up the next day because I know that it doesn't matter how hard I try it is just not enough for my father.

Now after 12 years at the age of 24 I am still dealing with the same responsibilities and even more but luckily I got used to them they are not depressing as they have used to be because I chose to accept them and to deal with them a day after day because I know that it will come to an end someday. After I chose to accept my situation and believing in that everything happens for a reason, I became less aggressive, much more optimistic and I think that I don't hate mom and dad as I used to be, I can't say that I love them the way I should but at least for now I am satisfied that I still have the respect for both of them.

The most important that there is a bright side to the story, I am now responsible I can deal with the toughest situations, I know the importance of a family, and if one day I got married I can manage my house very easily - this is a middle eastern culture :) - 
Living such a life gave me the strength and motivation to do the best I can in every thing I do to overcome these terrible times as quickly as possible, I finished college, I work and can afford my expenses and assist my family as well and I can mange a house easily, what is better than that =D
so for now, I just have to have patience until a new happy chapter of my life starts.

The bottom line is suffering makes you a better person somehow, because when the good times come you know that you'll appreciate all the blessings you have even the tiniest.
take a decision to live your life with all its sweetness and bitterness, when it is sweet smile and enjoy it and when it is not just deal with it as best as you can taking the right decisions and walking baby steps until the end, and always make sure to be optimistic, and remember that it is always alright to cry, feel angry and depressed but under one condition that you don't let that controls you

and as we all know, no matter how long the night was, the sun will rise eventually.
