I planted the seeds of my sorrow in this forgotten and barren land. Watered with tears I couldn't swallow and blood from my weary hands. Oh the harvest that was to follow, as roses from Arabian sands tell tales of a better tomorrow, and hope in my Maker's plans. ~Suhaib Rumi

In life's tempest, we shatter like waves on stone, Yet in the abyss, we're never alone. For in the silence, in the darkest night, It's God's embrace that guides us to the light.

People were never my need Perspectives were. Hearts were. Souls were. People beyond People were. ~Sadia Hakim

"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for." - Jo March, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Maybe what I'm hoping for isn't even possible to happen, but it's hope I'm living on. And I prefer to live and die hoping, than living and hoping to die. -sadia/@silllydiaries

Things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully. - Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

How could you not fall in love with the glow of the moon and stars, the warmth of the sun, the ancient life within the trees, and the sweet melodies of the winds?

When you get older, you value things differently. You can see how precious it is to have peace of mind, to sleep with your heart feeling at ease. You can see the true price of everything and everyone in your life. Time slows down and you can savor moments much better. Because the older you get, the more you understand. How everything is temporary. How everything is just passing. Even yourself. And there's nothing for you to do. Except to enjoy the present. And pass in this life in peace. -Metanoia

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.

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. -F Scott Fitzgerald

People who wait for you to tie your shoe. People who shift closer to you when you're subconsciously moving away while you're walking next to them. People who smile at you as soon as you make eye contact. People who seek you out to tell you some good news. People who listen to you and hear you and understand you. Do not make the mistake of ever convincing yourself that everyone is a bad person when you yourself have done this and not even thought twice about it.

The thing about being kind these days is that we think a lot before being one. The way this life has pierced our hearts, we are losing the innocence we were born with.But we shouldn't give life back what we never wanted from it, instead we should give it something we have always wanted for ourselves. So that someone, somewhere could feel that way, the way we have always wished to. And don't we live a little through each others life, sharing joys and tears, laughing and crying together, so that it could become a little easier, less painful, somehow bearable. ~Tahseen Anam

Really just want to live a quiet life with  quiet, genuine, humble people. Not  interested in loud people or dramatic  situations. Just want peace, and the sun,  and tenderness, and warmth.

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. ~Suhaib Rumi

It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you've accepted that someone is out of your life, that you've grieved and it's over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you've lost that person all over again. -Rachel Hawkins, Demongla

Life is not all the happy moments, and life isn't only the heartaches either. Everyone goes through good or bad things they don't talk about and no one else knows about. ~Sadia Hakim

How can I describe my life to you? I think a lot, listen to music. I'm fond of flowers. -Susan Sontag, Death Kit

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

The cost of not following your heart, is spending the rest of your life wishing you had.🖤

"Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water.  Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.  Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still  fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day.  And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine." - Charlotte Eriksson
