A simple family
This will be a diversion from the usual wan thoughts blogging and now will be a more personal take. What really scares me most is the seemingly unknown future, where i'd end up eventually, what happens after this. That is very terrifying for me. But to minimise the fear, it is always preparation.
When i was younger, i always wanted to travel the world, and it was a great dream at first until the pains of jetlag and homesickness just kills off the dream slowly. Nevertheless, i still wanna sit under the clouds of the aurora boreilis, spend the night lost in an african savanah, camp in the desert with some bedoin in morocco, join a venitian festival.... the splendours of this world.
When i was younger, i always dreamt of marrying a beautiful princess from norway or sweden and have hoards of women just swooned at my charm waiting outside my palace. But its only a dream, no such thing as a swedish princess or even the ability to charm someone anyone i wanted. Now, instead of the splendours of recognition and wealth, all i really want is a simple down to earth family.
When i was young, i was thought to aspire to be rich and smart, my dad pestering me to go into business and my mom, into medicine. And sadly, economics and biological studies is the subjects i detest the most. Instead, my love for the environment, to defend the weak, to be a representative of my faith and beliefs all swamped to be number one priority. I love documentaries alot. Of animals, of rivers, of thequeer tribesmen in some jungles, of strange phenomena, id rather watch the national geographic than fast furious 5. To know so many things are out there, it keeps me alive and burning with passion to know more.
When i was young, i cried in class because my teacher tore my drawing of a lion in half. If there is one thing i respect the most, it is the arts. I could spend all day looking at an artist painting a masterpiece, his strokes every bit of it and never let my sight away. My friends who are great artists, i admire them alot. And it makes me happy to see someone draw anything and no matter how mediocre the work may be, id always tell anyone who draws, his work is fantastic. similarly, i love simple melodious music. Symphony fm,the radio station that plays only classical music is the second most played station on my mp3. Id always imagine the butterflies flying, the smell of dew and spring, and the beautiful violins, cellos, tubas, trumpets harmoniously playing. The one regret i ever had is not enrolling into some music lesson because my parents are not interested in them. I would ensure my children would learn to play either the violin or piano one day and i'd spend some nights just listening to my lil ones playing them.
What i am trying to say is that there are many things in life which we thought we wanted but as time ripes, it changes and we have to change and adapt to these. My childhood is sure to be very different from my adulthood but i will stay prepared and head towards the goals i have now.
One day, after a long, hard day at work, i just want to head back home into the embrace of my wife, have a family dinner together, pray together and then snuggle warmly in bed. I never wanted many kids although i assure you, i get smitten so easily,two would be perfect, doesnt matter their gender, if its a girl, id make her the prettiest princess in the world, send her to dance classes, and hopefully, make any guy swoon. If its a guy, id tell him to be smart and be cool like his daddy, hahaha and challenge him to beat me. Id send him to silat or taekwando classes and teach him how to gym. And id adore them and not raise my voice at them. Scold them but never beat them and teach them that love has no boundaries or limit. Love the mosque and inculcate visiting the place everyday.
I dont need a mansion or the wealth of the world. All i want, is a simple happy family built on understanding and trust. Free of the ills of hypocrisy and foul words. Free of lies and deceit. Free of bad intentions and thoughts. Nothing beats to me, than a humble family of Paradise. Insyallah. Amin
