center your life around your own desires. don’t listen to people who try to tell you what they think you should be, what they think you should do, what they think you should spend money, or time, or effort on. you won’t ever feel complete if you chase other people’s dreams, or subscribe to other people’s expectations. live for you

قل للعيون إذا تساقطَ دمعُها ~ اللهُ أكبرُ من همي وأحزاني قل للفؤادِ إذا تعاظمَ كَربهُ ~ ربُّ الفُؤاد بلطفهِ يرعاني
Tell the eyes when its tears fall down - Allah is greater than my grief and my sadness,
tell the heart when its agony grows heavy, the Lord of this heart will take care of me with His infinite grace and kindness.
the cure to self-sabotage is to anchor yourself to the universal truth that you are worth it. you are worth the effort. you are worth the difficulty, you are worth the time, you are worth the consideration. there is never a point in your life, in time itself, that you are not worth it. return to this truth when you feel yourself slipping. do not let it go.
“You need to realize that the sadness that you are feeling right now will not be permanent. But I also need you to realize that the sadness that you’re feeling right now will happen again anytime in the future because we live in a world where bad things happen to good people and bad people. But until then I hope you feel okay with the fact that joy will come like how spring comes after winter. But I also hope that you’ll feel okay when summer ends. When the crushed leaves of autumn starts falling on you. Just please don’t kill yourself. Because I know that someone out there loves you. And that the love that he or she is feeling for you right now is permanent.”
— Juansen Dizon, Confessions of a Wallflower page 33
“Fall in love gently. Remind yourself that you are the longest relationship of your life. Remind yourself that you are a child of this universe and that you are worthy of happiness. Fall in love with the way you feel things deeply. The color of someone’s laughter. The texture of someone’s kindness. The nostalgia of going back to places that caused you so much pleasure and pain. You are an old soul trapped in a body that’s slowly, slowly decaying. You are a traveler of both the outer world and the inner world. Fall in love with your failures. The events that shaped you into becoming who you are today. Embrace your shortcomings for they serve as a lesson in your formless memory. Forgive yourself for everything that is causing you so much pain. It is a brutal process, and you must get through it. Self-hate can only generate more worry in your life. Let it go. You don’t have to carry it forever. Fall in love with your body. Romanticize it. The freckles on your face are constellations. The heart-shaped birthmark right behind your hips. The positive aura of your gummy smile. The way that your body is working hard to keep you alive like electricity lighting up a whole city on a cloudless night. Fall in love with your existence. The little things that make you who you are. The poetry that you write. The instrument that you play. The way you put your makeup on as you face another challenging day. These little things that make you who you are come from the way you express your being. Fall in love with yourself until you finally feel like home.”

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا , وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا , وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا , وَعَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا , وَعَنْ شِمَالِي نُورًا , وَأَمَامِي نُورًا , وَخَلْفِي نُورًا , وَفَوْقِي نُورًا , وَتَحْتِي نُورًا , وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا
“O Allâh, place light in my heart, light in my tongue, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light behind me, light in front of me, light on my right, light on my left, light above me and light below me; place light in my sinew, in my flesh, in my blood, in my hair and in my skin; place light in my soul and make light abundant for me; make me light and grant me light.”
“And when you are grateful for what you already have, everything that you wish to create in your life becomes favored by the universe.”

If they leave you confused more than comforted, reassess their access to you.
