I have Nothing

Whitney Houston reached the top 10 and made millions out of this song.

I neither reached nor made when I uttered these words to Kh. at the wedding (when I attended 2 weddings on the same day.  I know she was waiting for something like:

I am engaged / I am married / I have so and so many children......

but all I could say was: I have nothing.

At that moment,  I forgot the thousands of blessings that have been bestowed upon me, all of them and not one, not even my recent graduation seemed worth mentioning.  I guess we still live in the: I married therefore I am, therefore my existence won't be complete and my life won't have meaning until I marry the man I love and live happily ever after.  InshAllah.

May this incident be a reminder an lesson that I must be proud of myself and what I have never cease to be grateful for it all.

From Whitney's song:

Share my life, take me for what I am
Coz I'll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I have nothing, nothing, nothing, if I don't have you.......
