Thankful Is The Key

by Amalia

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.

— Siddhārtha Gautama

Let us say, alhamdulillah.

Even though I lost the one person I used to look up to, I still have You. I still have my family. I still have friends. They are the ones I turn to when I seek for help. They are the ones who can stop the stream when I bleed.

And I’m thankful for it. Alhamdulillah.
