Few poems by Mahmoud Darwish💕

Image
To mark my 300th post, I'm sharing a collection of poems by Mahmoud Darwish. His powerful words offer deep insights into love and separation. Enjoy! I love you despite the nose of my tribe, my city and the chains of customs. But I'm afraid if I sell everyone, you will sell me and I'll return with disappointments. 'I felt like my homeland was occupied again.' Out of my ignorance I called you a homeland, and I forgot that homelands are taken away. Drink your coffee, embrace the silence, do not take people seriously, do not take life upon yourself, do not exaggerate your emotions, and do not please anyone against your will. Don't befriend me for a day, and leave me a month. Don't get close to me if you're going to leave. Don't say what you don't do. Be close or get away. A University degree, four books and hundreds of articles and I still make mistakes when reading. You wrote me 'good morning' and I read it as 'I love you'. Poetry an...

Perhaps it isn't love when I say you are what I love

Perhaps it isn't love when I say you are what I love the- most you are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love. This, my dear, is love." ~Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

You know what's scary about this age...?

Image
You know what's scary about this age? You can't even enjoy your down time. You're socially convinced that every moment you're spending not doing anything is wasted time. That you always should be working towards something. We forget that it's okay to have a breather and simply take time to yourself.

It's really comforting to know that...

Image
It's really comforting to know that all the times  I was at my lowest and loneliest in the past the  whole time i had my self in the future and present  who had survived those things looking back with  love and tenderness and wishing desperately to  offer comfort. I am my own guardian angel and I can use that knowledge when I'm struggling now and remember that somewhere there is a version of me that has survived this and is watching me with love and pride and joy in his heart.

It's so difficult to describe depression to someone who's never been there, because it's not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it's that cold absence of feeling that really hollowed-out feeling. -J.K. Rowling

I became good at pretending. I became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. And sometimes, when I did a really good job of pretending, I even fooled myself. - Ruta Sepetys

I want to be soft and kind and  happy. I want to be a small sun  that warms everyone around me. I want to smile and tuck my hair behind my ear and laugh. I want to be so full of love, i can't help but spread it all around.

There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds. The worst wounds, the deadliest of them, aren't the ones people see on the outside. They're the ones that make us bleed internally. ~Laurell K. Hamilton, Mistral's Kiss

Shab e Barat Mubarak🌙

☆VIRTUES OF THIS NIGHT☆ "Allah looks at His creation on the middle night of Sha'baan (15th) & forgives the entirety of His creation, except for the idolator or someone who's heart is holding malice". [Ibn Majah) "When it is the fifteenth of Sha'baan, then stand (in worship) at night and fast during the day. Because Allah alla descends in this night at sunset to the first heaven and says: 'Is there any seeker of forgiveness, that I may forgive him? Is there any seeker of sustenance, that I may sustain him? Is there anyone in affliction, that I may remove his affliction? Is there anyone like this, like that (and so on)'. This continues until Fajr.” [Ibn Majah] WHAT HAPPENS ON THIS NIGHT? On this night, the angels are given instructions for the whole year. Allah informs the angels that such and such a thing has been decreed for such and such a person. " For e.g Allah orders the angels regarding : -Those who are destined to die. About the evils t...
