I love that feeling I get when it’s about to rain and the wind is rising and there’s some sort of peace in that. I swear I can hear the plants whispering
"How do I stop being scared of-" You do it scared. The courage arrives WITH the action, not before it. Don't wait to feel confident before you act because the key to confidence is usually doing the thing while still scared as fuck
i'm a simple girl: i see sunlight on the water, i find god
i hear the laugh of someone i love, i find god. the setting sun fills my room, i find god. i eat fresh strawberries off the vine, i find god. someone rests their head on my shoulder, i find god.
when he says “your eyes are beautiful” but mahmoud darwish wrote “I have passed by many eyes, but I only got lost in yours”
“if the hurt comes, so will the happiness.”
In other words: Fa inna ma‘al usri yusra.”
-Al Qur’aan [94:5-6]
I hope I give off a vibe to all animals that I am their ally and friend

more and more I feel strongly defensive about the animals that people hate or look down upon and view as evil, malicious, dirty, stupid, vermin, or otherwise worthless
Wow everyone is going through it. Hold my hand
reblog to hold the hand of the person you reblogged from
just when you're feeling low / unmotivated, remind yourself of this verse;
وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
and the next life is certainly far better for you than this one.
- Qur'ān {93:4}
there is no old self to get back to there’s a new u to create n nurture
Shit is going to happen.
Your friend is going to ghost you. You are not going to get the job. Your car is going to break down at the worst time. Your boss is going to have unrealistic demands and deadlines. Your basement is going to flood.
Life hurts.
No matter how recovered you are. No matter how stable you are. No matter how much you excel at using your toolbox of strategies.
Life hurts.
You are not going to go through it being a happy little bean all of the time.
So, don’t put that pressure on yourself.
If you do, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. You’ll fear that you’re slipping, experiencing a setback, losing your recovery, when the negative emotions come.
Instead, the more you heal, the better you get at coping with this all too painful thing called life, the less hard those moments will hit. Oh, they will still hit, they will still suck, but they won’t suck for as long or as much. You’ll see the other side of them and know happiness is waiting there for you again.
Love isn't having butterflies all the time, i think love is calm. Love is comfortable. I could sit in silence with you for the rest of our lives and it would mean more than a thousand words with anyone else.
The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you
