Strong
"A strong woman is the one
Who smiles in the morning
Without anyone knowing that
She had cried the whole night"
I had never thought of it.
We had always been wondering, what a strong guy he is,
"Yeah! Flex that bicep bebeh!"
We had always been wondering, what a strong woman she is,
"10 kids and still full-time doctor! Amazing!"
We had always been wondering, what a strong boy he is,
"His parents just died in a tragic accident. May Allah be with them all *sobs*"
We had always been wondering too, what a strong girl she is,
"She was blamed for prostitution, when she had really did nothing!"
All of that is just examples, to so many more situations by so many different people.
But,
Never had I really wondered, what is really the real definition of being strong?
Is strength really defined by just men flexing six packs, women having to balance home and work, boys being orphaned at such an early age, or is it girls being blamed for what she had not done?
What if I did not went through all those things? Am I not strong? Am I weak?
*slap in the face*
STRONG. Short word, but very powerful.
Strong (adjective)
窗体底端
: having great physical power and ability
: having a lot of strength
: not easy to break or damage
: not sick or injured
This is a simple definition of "strong" which I coffee-pasta (read: copy paste) from Mr Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
*don't know really whether this Merriam-Webster is a he or a she. Haha!*
Thus, is this just it? Strong? Being physically good and not sick? Pfffft! Cheesecake!
It burns me most, when people say "Be strong! Be tough! You're better than anyone!"
But it seems, being strong is not easy.
Especially if you are a woman or a girl or a somewhere in between or neither both or you just think you're that but you're not. Haha just kidding!
It's hard. Truly.
Taking me myself for example, so I won't go far.
In this almost 19 years of my life, I admit it, I am not even half the Prophet Muhammad's lifetime!
But bit by bit, hardships come through. Yalah! Sampai bila mahu roll on the floor and act like a baby? Still sucking on your thumb?
Grow up girl!
Faith.
Changing to a totally 360 degree new environment, Fuh! Sweating like hell man!
You think keeping your faith into place is easy? Then, Allah bless you. Be thankful.
For me, keeping mine is hard, damn hard.
Solat khusyuk? Read the Al-Quran? Mathurat twice a day? Al-Mulk before bed? Aurah properly covered? Have I smiled today? Only nice words if not silence? Zikr remembering Him and only Him?
At the end of the day,
I would go out screaming, "Susahnyaaaaaaaa!!!"
Yalah. Sure hard meh!
You think farting is easy ah?
Try. Try fart all that gas out. It's hard is it, when you don't have the feel to fart kan?
Same thing goes to keeping your faith too.
If you don't have the feel for it, the willingness for it, then sure hard for you lah!
*tembak diri sendiri*
Studies.
Damn hard too! Aiyoo everything damn hard, then apa sahaja yang senang?
"Learn and gain knowledge, from birth till the earth engulf us"
Allah wants to train us to be strong.
Would you let a baby be a soldier, holding a rifle? No kan?
Same lah. Allah would not want His servants to be seen as weak, and carrying the burden on Islam without any sense of knowledge at all.
Love.
Oh dear heart. Why are you so shy?
Why would you be so shy from seeking Allah's love and grace, but willingly searching for a love that is not even there?
A human's love is short, but Allah's love is eternal. Why?
Even you see how much a mother loves her kids, a husband loves his wife, a sister loves her brothers, all of the love between humans are short. They are, short! Pendek!
No matter how big the love is, in the Judgment Day itself,
Even a mother would leave her baby, crying.
Even best friends being enemies, blaming each other.
See, human love is short.
A so-called love.
For six months, I had been crying because of it, when I thought I shouldn't have to.
And once in a while, I would sometimes cry myself to sleep, thinking why does this happen to me.
People did tell me, how can it be so wrong. But I did not believe them.
Now see what happen! Ergh! =.="
What's done is done. There is no turning back! No way! Heart break is over.
It comes back to how strong am I now.
To see to the fact, that its short. And why would you strive to find the one thing that you know would never last long, when Allah has shown you the way to find the one that would last forever. Happily ever after.
Stop crying. Cry no more sayang!
Going to class with bulging eyes would not solve it either.
Experience is the best teacher.
And I had experienced it, and it did thought me well enough too.
No more sulking, just smile.
No more tears, just laughter.
No more sobs, just breathe.
No more rolling on the floor, just walk.
Sometimes, a strong woman is not the one who we can see she is strong physically, but also mentally. Because sometimes a mental depression is far more awful. Terrible!
Kuat sayang kuat!
Yeah. I can do better than this. I am better than this. And I deserve better than this.
Be strong.
No matter how much you cry in the night,
Just be sure to,
Smile the next morning!

Padahal kamulah orang yang paling tinggi (darjatnya)
Jika kamu orang yang beriman"
