Choose yourself, not once, not twice...

Please don't ever abandon  yourself again.  Especially not in the name of trying to be validated by a temporary connection.  Stop holding on to things that don't demonstrate respect for your value. Start investing in things that remind you of your worth.  You deserve so much more.  And don’t shrink yourself just to fit into spaces that were never meant to hold your light.  Stop explaining your worth to those committed to misunderstanding you. Silence can be dignity too. Choose yourself, not once, not twice, but every single time it feels uncomfortable to do so. Let go without guilt, walk away without fear, and trust that what’s truly yours will never require you to abandon who you are. Grow into someone who feels like home to their own soul. Because at the end of it all,  the longest relationship you’ll ever have is the one you build with yourself.

I have long embraced that I feel things so...

I have long embraced that I feel things so very deeply.
Love, as if my heart would burst.
Sorrow, as many agonizing deaths.
Joy, as though the moon were in my arms
or the entire galaxy in my chest. 
And so I know, that my immortal soul is far greater than my mortal body. And perhaps, when I have returned to my forgotten home,
I'll look back at this world and say that was one helluva ride.

Women should not be sad.

Imagine moonlight whispering secrets to a flower bowed by dew. That's the tenderness in Allah's words to women in the Quran:  " Do not be sad ."  These aren't just words; they are luminous embraces meant to soothe the soul. See how gently He speaks:  "So that her eyes may find coolness and she would not grieve." (Al-Qasas)  It's like a soft hand wiping away tears.  Again,  " That their eyes may find comfort and they may not grieve." (Al-Ahzab)  A promise of solace. Even in moments of great trial,  "Do not grieve," (Maryam) a whisper of hope.  And again, a double blessing: "Do not fear and do not grieve." (Al-Qasas) Why this repeated tenderness? Because Allah, in His infinite wisdom, understands that a woman's sorrow resonates deeply. It's not a fleeting shadow, but a storm that can shake her very core, dimming her light, weakening her strength, and stealing her peace. He sees the delicate architecture of her hear...

For when you trust His perfect decree...

Leave behind what’s meant to fade, Trust the plans Allah has already made. For every tear that stained your night, He’s written ease, He’s written light. Don’t chain your heart to what is gone, Your Lord has better to pass upon. In every loss, a mercy lies, In every fall, your soul can rise. What’s written left was never yours, What’s coming next holds open doors. Have sabr today, let your قلب believe, For what’s ahead will never deceive. The past is gone, don’t let it stay, It steals your peace, it clouds your way. Turn to your Rabb with hope so true, What’s yet to come is خير for you. You lost something? Then let it be, Your Lord replaces beautifully. For every ache your heart once knew, A better plan is made for you. Let go, move on, don’t look behind, True peace is in a trusting mind. For when you trust His perfect decree, Your future blooms in serenity.🌙

For what is coming toward you is softer...

-
What slipped away was only a chapter, not the story meant for you. For every goodbye you held in tears, a better hello is already on its way. Do not grieve what faded into yesterday, for tomorrow carries gentler light. What’s written ahead of you is kinder than what stayed behind. The past may echo with what you lost, but the future whispers with what you’ll gain. And in those quiet whispers, there is a promise of something better. Every ending you cried over was mercy you didn’t yet understand. For what is coming toward you is softer, sweeter, and meant to stay. You didn’t lose it, you were being led somewhere better. Because what’s written for you ahead outshines everything left behind.
