Class of ’99
This weekend made me realise that no matter what distance or delay… the friendships I have made… the important ones… don’t fade, at all. Boys who relocated… Syria, Qatar, whereever… boys down the road who, because of work and whatever, we see less often… still, we meet and it’s like nothing’s changed. Strong as Ever.
It’s a good feeling, to have friends like that. A singular vision among friends and our love for Islam, it kind of transcends a lot of things. And now… we’re all progressing through real adulthood trying to find our way in accomplishing whatever vision we might have had… different acts in the same scene.
And what a fluke! I was going to JHB for research with work and ended up running into a non-stop nostalgia and friends session with boys who just happened to be in the same place even though a week before we were all in three different countries! I don’t see any coincidence in this… I see Providence. Plus got to see my bro’s and the other boys back from Hajj, their stories were absolutely hard core. Yeah… Providence.
Sunday was brilliant… had Akhalwaya’s at Emmarentia dam with boys and girls who I haven’t seen in ages. was brilliant.. something about the water and the trees (and the people) that just relaxes you… and JHB just ROCKS!
I also realised how grateful I should be. No matter how much shit happens, there’s no way I can be ungrateful for everyhting I have… I have so much and I’m not even sure I deserve it. I have no right to complain and I can’t really bitch and moan about anything… I have so much. Shukr.
Oh, and there’s plans in action to get out of Durbs! Pls Make Dua! Woohoo!
…on my play list at the moment: NaS feat. Will.I.Am – Hip Hop is Dead, My Chemical Romance – Welcome to the Black Parade and U2 & Greenday – The Saints Are Coming
