An idea randomly pops in my head. A sudden urge to paint crawls into my head and so I took out my painting bag with all the abandoned paintbrushes and poster colours. 

I started off in peace and serenity. I painted the paper with water to dilute the paint that will dissolve in the papier. I started off with blue. Blue resembled the peace and the new chapter of my life. To start anew. To live a successful life. Then I painted with white to lighten the blue shades of life. White resembled the pure intentions I have in life.

I added yellow as the sunshine to my life. The sunshine is my family and friends. Who inspire me to become better. I splattered yellow everywhere as my sunshine inspires me everywhere I go. Then anger appears. I was in rage. I added red to resemble my angerness. 

But then they did say, without darkness, there's no light. Life goes on. I try to mend myself with darker shades of blue. I did mistakes but at that moment nothing matters anymore. All I want is for this to be done and over with. Then I added orange as the darker version of yellow. Despite all the things I did, I did try and add sunshine into my life. Later, I added green. Alas, I forgot to remove the remains of orange. Therefore my green turned out to be a weird colour. This is what happens when you make a mistake, the outcome of your work is judged based on your mistake your past. I messed up.

But like this book, life always offers a second chance. Allah is forgiving. All you have to do is repent and turn over a bew leaf. Started a better relationship with Allah SWT, family and friends. The book offers another page. Therefore, a new painting begins. Started off the same way as my previous life. This time, I learned my mistake. I added yellow, a brighter one to show that I have changed, for the better. I added blue, a calming view to the eyes of the beholder. Not to forget green. I even added red. But this time, red doesn't mean anger anymore. It is a bright contrast to the paint so that I could make a comeback from the past. Paint is splattered everywhere but it doesn't matter now. I am having fun and that's all that matters. I am not afraid of making mistakes anymore because mistakes are awfully mistaken as the dark shades of life. However in reality, mistakes are something you make so that you get up. Therefore, get up!

Be better.
