Perhaps we fight in order to end with good memories. Perhaps we hold on to save that person from our own judgement. Perhaps we don't want to end with hatred after the love, so when the time comes that we already have the courage to walk away, when the time comes that we are ready to stab our own heart with the truth that some things had to end tragically, we would take our heavy steps with good memories, full of acceptance, and peace.

—𝓥𝓮𝓲𝓵𝓮𝓭 𝓟𝓸𝓮𝓽 | to let go with good memories

We hurt ourselves by staying when letting go was the proper choice. I want to remind you that if it's destroying you and making you question your worth, it's not worth staying for, whether it's romantic relationships, friendships, work, routines, or patterns that make you feel less of a person. Go and move towards the blessings you hinder by allowing yourself to walk away from things and situations that suffocate you and have caused your mental health to decline.
Happiness is a choice so you have to move forward because it requires effort to become the version you want to be.

“I’m strong, but I am tired. Tired of always having to be the strong one. Tired of always having to do the right thing..”

i wish i have a balcony overlook to this view every night.♡⁩

Sometimes, I feel like my chest will explode out of the pain that I've been enduring for so long. I keep fighting each day, hoping that better days are coming. I keep telling myself that this pain will disappear and I will be okay again someday. But the truth is, a part of me is already tired of waiting for my pain to end. I am silently telling myself that maybe this pain will never disappear and that I must learn to live with it. I'm already tired of telling lies to myself— saying that tomorrow will be a better day but still ending up feeling miserable and lonely.

It's hard to go on with my life, pretending that everything is okay. I sometimes wish I could give up, but I know that I should have courage in everything that I'm going through right now. But it's hard to think about positive things in life when I honestly feel like everything in my life is falling apart. It's hard when I feel like I no longer have the will to face the world every day.

Life is like a book 📚
If you don't dare to open the next sheet.
Then you never know what story is next.

“ You can say you're fine, but eyes never lie.”

To my old self,

I'm sorry for allowing people to hurt you so many times. I'm sorry for all the wrong decisions that you've made because you were not wise enough before. I hope you'll learn to forgive yourself someday. I hope you'll heal from all your trauma. And I hope you've learned from all the mistakes that you've made in your past.

Someday, I hope you'll learn to love yourself after all the heartbreaks that you've been through. I know sometimes it's hard to forget the painful things that happened to you, but it takes time to heal. I hope one day you'll learn to find your worth again. You were too hard on yourself and you forgot that you are worth it too. One day, I hope you find the happiness that you always deserve.

I want you to know that your past mistakes and traumas doesn't define who you are. You are more than your wounds and scars. You are more than the number of your heartbreaks. And I hope you always remember that I am so proud of you for being brave enough to stay alive. You are loved, and you are always enough.

"Don't touch my tiredness, your hands are no longer trusted."

Dearest soul,

I hope you won't exhaust you by explaining yourself to others all the time. Sometimes we just need to leave things by how people see them, because we don't have control over what they think of us. They don't have any slightest idea of our struggles.

I hope that even when I don't remind, you would remember that I'm here, for us, fighting with you through my du'ās. I hope that you wouldn't forget that you are not alone. I hope that even when the world can't understand you, I am here, ready to understand you even when you are yet to narrate your story.

Know that my arms are open for you. My words are ready to console you. My fingers are ready to wipe your tears. I'd embrace your chaos. I'd overlook your flaws. To me, you're a beautiful soul, and you cannot change my mind.

— Veiled Poet

“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.”

~Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis

Yes strong people need to be reminded they're loved.
The ones that laugh all the time can be the ones crying themselves to sleep.
The ones that always throw good comments to make people around them feel good. They sometimes need to hear them about themselves too.
The people who show up in the hardest moments need to have people around them in those moments too.

You never know what a positive person may pass through to appear like that.
So be kind.

Allāh ﷻ knows your soul is tired. He knows you find it hard to accept what's going on. He knows you've been asking him and praying hard. He knows you're confused and in need of comfort but he also knows what's best for you. He will always take you in that direction. Trust him.

You don't always have to understand me everyday or read every intricate detail in my words and actions.

There are just some days that I am meant to be messy. chaotic. And complicated that even myself couldn't hold.

The most important thing for me is to make it through the day. And call it a day of surviving 🥀

Never force a relationship.

Sometimes it's better to move on, than to hold on to a person who doesn't understand who you truly are. Unfortunately there will be times where your absence will teach you what your presence cannot.

You need to stop breaking your own heart in trying to make a relationship work that clearly isn't meant to work to begin with.

You can't force someone to genuinely care about you.

You can't force someone to be faithful to you.

You can't force someone to be the person you need
them to be.

The truth is, sometimes the person you want the most is the same person you would be best without.

You have got to understand some things are meant to come into your life, just not meant to stay.

Everything that you do to show love, you have to be
careful, not to lose yourself by trying to fix what should never been there in the first place. You can't get the relationship you need from someone who's not ready to reciprocate the love you give to them.

I know it's hard when you meet someone and your heart feels, that's the person you could spend an eternity with, and you start to accept that they are not that person you thought they needed to be.

And no matter how many times you cry yourself to sleep at night, you will eventually heal from your previous relationship and find the one you have always longed for. Your future will now bring an understanding of why things didn't work out in your previous relationships.

One thing I have learned throughout the years, is “It is better to be single than to be in a relationship settling for less.”

If they see you as an option, then they don't deserve to be a priority in your life.

Take my advice and never chase someone who's not chasing you.

Don’t hope too much because that “too much” can hurt you so much.

i'm glad that you're brave enough to be here today. always. i'm proud of you; even on times where you can't find yourself between the lines. i'll be proud of you even when you're struggling to open your eyes and heart to the world. i'll be proud of you on days when you feel like healing is a big step for your wounded soul.

i'll stay. i'll stay on days when you feel like you're no longer growing. i'll be there applauding on you for making it out of your bed after not getting up for days because you're busy battling your own demons.

i'll be there. i'll sit with you. i'll congratulate your wins and loses. i'll lend you my hand. i'll tell you that it's okay to be this and that sometimes when you feel like the world is too much everytime.

i'll listen to you, wait for you, hug you. i'll be patient enough for you; because i know what it feels like to force yourself to live in a moment you know you left outside of your front door long ago.

i'll be there, knocking. and i'll tell you that i'm glad. i'm glad that you're still alive.

i'm glad that you chose to exist, even though deleting yourself from this world is way more easier.

I'm not sad, I'm just exhausted.

I'm too much of everything and that's the only problem.
When I love someone, it really gets to every inch of me.
And when I'm sad, I remember almost everything that did hurt me. Like it was yesterday.
And when I'm happy, I forget about all the horrible things I passed through.

I'm a person who feels everything deep to their bones.
That's why I'm always feeling tired.

Her.
