I cannot stress enough how important it is to speak up for yourself when someone is crossing your boundaries or dismissing your feelings. You are your biggest advocate. No one else can read your mind or feels what you feel.

❝The Qur'an absorbs sadness (and grief) from the heart like a sponge. If you read the Qur'an while sorrowful (and disheartened), it will bandage you. And if you read it while joyful (and delighted), it will multiply your happiness.❞

يمتص القرآن الحزن من القلب كالإسفنجة إذا قرأت القرآن حزينا كان كالضماد وإذا قرأته سعيدا ضاعف تلك السعادة

~ د. أحمد عيسى المعصراوي‏

I’m so glad I reached this mindset where I just never look for attention, never want to impress anyone, never try to make anyone like me, I just am so enough for my own liking and it’s all that matters.

Do you know what I love? How closely nature is linked with mentality. A walk in the woods can calm anxiety, sitting and dropping stones into a lake can ease anger, even taking time to pot some plants and look after them can keep my mind occupied from dissociation. It’s like the earth is the oldest psychiatrist of all, and it is always there to talk to, giving me a constant free prescription. Isn’t that beautiful

The person you love is not the same as they were when you first started loving them and they are not the same as they will be when you die. Love must be adaptive. Love must be smart enough and strong enough to survive constant change. Love must not be rigid.
