love is patient, love is kind.

it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Hey, you doing okay? That post about your queue outliving you was a little worrisome. I'm just a blog in a sea of many, but I hope you are alright, and please reach out to someone if you are not <3

i'm actually the happiest i've ever been and the most excited about life i've ever ever been!!! i'm simply a very memento mori person and i'm being silly and excited about the things i queue!!!!! i'm so sorry if i concerned anyone !!

لا تسرق فرحة أحد، لا تقهر قلب أحد، أعمارنا قصيّرة؛ وفِي قبورنا نحتاج من يدعي لنا لا علينا

Do not steal the happiness of anyone, and do not trouble the heart of anyone. Our lives are short, and in our graves we will be in need of those who pray for us and not against us.

i hope my tumblr queue outlives me. i hope that when God takes me home to my perpetual dwelling i will live on in the queue.............
