When Everything Is Perfect… But You’re Not!

There are days I look around at everything in my life… and it’s perfect.
Yet still, I find myself turning inward, reflecting… and realizing I’m not truly happy.

Why is that?
Is it loneliness?
Is it a lack of appreciation?
A sense of not belonging?
Or maybe it’s the inability to fully count my blessings?

All these thoughts flood my mind, exchanging places, twisting and turning.
I become so engrossed, so overwhelmed with questions…
Will I ever be truly happy?

And just when that dangerous thought starts to take hold; panic sets in.
But then, a gentle, lucky realization breaks through:

Maybe it’s because everything feels so perfect… you fear it won’t last.
Maybe it feels too good to be true.

Then slowly, it starts to settle.
Ibreathe. I smile. I remember my loved ones… My children.. My TMC Team..
Then realisation hits… it is real. As real as it can get.

And in that fleeting, beautiful moment… I am happy. I AshaDii…
In that moment, wrapped in a feeling..
a mood as gracious and calm as the one in this particular image.

Me, and the “Alhamdullillah” Mood

And I whisper to my heart and soul…

“Alhamdulillah”
