What if we hadn't drifted apart?

Don’t we all wish that we hadn’t met that “one person” We wish we had the ability to un-meet someone or to erase all those memories from our mind and how a single thought about them can ruin your entire day. You could be passing by a soda shop you used to hang out at or maybe you overheard that song you once heard with them and all the feelings come rushing back to you, all the thoughts running through your mind … leaving you stunned, leaving you incapable to function for a while; physically and mentally. You feel a heavy burden on your chest and then comes a point when you just want for your mind to stop working, to stop overthinking but you just can’t help it. You often contemplate how your life would have been if you were still in touch with them.
I had such a person in my life too and when I think about it I couldn’t help but wonder what happened or what went wrong and then came the thought that “what if we hadn’t drifted apart?” What if we had added in a little more effort and maybe things had worked out for us. In my case, imagining a day without that one person felt as hard as breathing with no air, life felt meaningless and this recurring thought of maybe how things would have been better if I had tried one last time. How maybe we would have been at a much serious stage if I hadn’t let it end like that if I had tried one last time.
But at this point in my life, I realized how things happen for a reason, how you could be so obsessed with someone that you stop noticing the negative impact they have on your lifestyle and personality. People change, their priorities change and not everyone’s meant to be with you forever. I don’t think I would have been the strong and confident person I am right now “if we hadn’t drifted apart” I may never be able to fully forget about those times but I know for sure that I’m at much more peace than I have ever been. That this one experience gave me a much more practical and positive approach to life.
You should always remember no matter how much you miss someone or a particular situation, one day you will realize how it all happened for good and “If Allah takes something away from you he replaces it with something much better”

Adolf Hitler - Character Sketch

Adolf Hitler - Nazi Leader -Javeria Mohideen https://javeriammohideen.wixsite.com/website/post/adolf-hitler-nazi-leader Adolf Hitler, the man responsible for the barbaric horrors of the Holocaust and devastation of the Second World War, is known to be one of the most notorious dictators of the 20th century. A tyrant, Hitler used political infighting and economic woes to strengthen his rein over Germany in the beginning of 1933. An autocratic leader of the Nazi party, Hitler had staunch anti-Semitism beliefs and an obsessive pursuit of Aryan supremacy. His warped belief system led to the genocide of 6 million Jews – a perspective that was evident in his self-authored book ‘Mein Kampf’. In the book, he declared the superiority of a white Aryan race, while he reserved his hatred for the Jews who he viewed as "parasites". The Nazis had a belief that Jews, Roma ('gypsies'), black people and other ethnic groups were inferior to Aryans. Their elimination, he said, "mu...

Genghis khan - Character Sketch

Genghis Khan -Muqadas Fatima https://muqadasfatima315.wixsite.com/website-1/post/character-sketch-non-fiction The sound of the drum beating pounded in his ears. His blurry vision could hardly make out the source of the commotion but soon realized that it was the shaman casting out the evil spirits. Suddenly a stinging smell of blood and raw meat burned the insides of his nostrils. As soon as he turned his face, what he saw was beyond his imagination. It was Genghis khan, the ruthless and vicious emperor and founder of the Mongolian Empire. Who would have known to be blood thirsty and tyrannical ruler for centuries? Tyranny reflected in his eyes. Even his eyes seemed like reptilian slits. His face was cold as ice as if the warmth of the sun had never reached it. While he stared into his soul, Genghis tore raw meat with his abnormally large canines. Blood oozing from it and eventually smeared all over his face. It became obvious, how ruthless the entire empire was. They had no reg...
