You Are Not on a Doomed Ship

We humans encounter different problems every single day. Sometimes these problems last long, and sometimes they pass as quickly as opening and closing our eyes. At times, they weigh heavily on our souls, bend our backs, wound our hearts, and remain carved into the pages of our memory. When unfulfilled dreams press on your chest and things don’t work out despite all your efforts—don’t fall into despair. You are not on the Titanic. Your life continues, and you are still alive.

The people who boarded the Titanic had everything—wealth, possessions—but they lacked one thing: luck. Look, you are the lucky one. You can stand up again; you can try again. Because just as the moonlight you see during the tahajjud prayer soon gives way to the dawn prayer, and then to the warm golden rays of the rising sun, every problem finds its solution in its own time. No effort goes without a result—every action brings a consequence.

Never forget this: you are the lucky one who didn’t get on the doomed ship. That means you still have plenty of reasons and goals to live for. Life is colorful—don’t see it only in black and white. Hold on to the wings of hope. Praise your Lord, because out of 8 billion people, He chose you for this test. Then you will see what true victory really means.

What matters is that you do not let your spirit drown. Just as you clean the dust in your home, cleanse your soul from sorrow. Wipe your tears, stand up, and keep trying again and again. Because you—and only you—have the power to change your own life. Don’t listen to the noise around you; people’s words will never stop anyway.

I know—sometimes you feel like you don’t fit in this world at all. Tears fill your eyes, you want to give up on everything, leave everyone, and run away to a quiet, secluded place.

My dear, who is precious to me, these problems may seem endless to you. Surely, at some point, you expected comfort or help from someone. Maybe you waited for a person who would tell you, “Everything will be okay” on your hardest day. If you are reading my words now, believe me: not receiving comfort on your hard day was actually a blessing for you. Step out of the desert of despair.

Every step you walked alone—didn’t it make you stronger and more determined? When you fell, didn’t you lift your head and rise on your own without anyone’s help? You may not realize it, but I know that people around you admire you.

When nothing seems to work and your strength is fading, remember my words: “Helplessness is the greatest test sent by God.” And that means victory is near. Don’t rebel. Wipe away those pearl-like tears. One day, those tears will fall not for defeat, but for happiness, my dear.

The important thing is not to remain where you fell. Fulfill the dreams hidden in your heart—don’t let them turn into regrets. My dear, the person who knows you better than anyone… is you..
