“Note to self: Nobody is worth stressing over. Move on. It’s ok to leave people behind. Go find yourself. The world is yours. Life goes on.”

I owe myself an apology.
For all the times I promised to forgive myself, only to bring it up again later.
For clipping the wings of my own dreams before they ever had a chance to take flight. For thinking so little of myself
at the very moments I should have been standing up for myself.
For the lies I swallowed
while starving for truth.
For believing that all the glass I walked on
as a child
was ever my fault.
For withholding the same grace
and second chances
I so freely give others.
For allowing the world to convince me
that my heart was both too much
and not enough.
For all the days wasted pretending to be someone I hoped you would accept.
For not living my life more on my own terms, simply because I was afraid
of making a mistake.
For punishing myself for far too long.
For believing love was bloody and painful,
and that I didn’t deserve better.
For every time I looked in the mirror
and hated who I saw.

I could sit here listing every reason and way I was wronged by others,
but maybe more than anything,
I owe myself an apology for not valuing this one, beautifully precious life of mine enough to know I’m worthy of greatness,
the very best of everything.
And for that, I am sorry.

"Apology Accepted"

to the people who are emotionally sensitive, who care so much about everything no matter how hard they try not to, who notice even the smallest things and take everything to the heart, the struggle is valid. i hope you get surrounded with people who are kind enough to understand you. and even if you can't expect everyone to adjust for you, i hope you get extra patience from this world.

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 the 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 were 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 don'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.

As you grow older your perspective about life will changed. You start recognizing how much important your inner peace and you start cutting people that you considered toxic and not helpful towards your self improvement and growth. You start taking less pictures of yourself because for you some pictures that are worth taking for are the smile of your parents, the sunrise and the sunsets, the oceans, and all the beautiful thing that some people don't even notice.

You start realizing that it's okay to slow
down —take time to understand what you want in the present and what are your plans towards the future. You start investing towards the important memories that you will forever leisure in your heart and memory and not those memories that you can only see in your gallery and most of all you stop looking for love because you understand that the you owe yourself the love you freely give to other people because your self is your biggest commitment. And I think that's the thing about maturity, you will understand your worth is not based on popularity, attention and achievements because it's all about how you love everything about you and everything you do.

Never allow anyone to treat you poorly. Don't hesitate to walk away from the ones who make you feel not enough and worthless. You are supposed to be happy with the ones you choose to be with. You are worthy; never forget that. You are the kind of person who doesn't deserve to be hurt. I know sometimes people make you feel terrible about yourself, and it makes you want to hate yourself every time they make you feel worthless. But believe me, you deserve a love for yourself that will make you forget all the hatred that you've been keeping in your chest.

I want to remind you that you are an amazing person. Appreciate yourself little by little each day, and you'll realize how much you deserve to be valued. Sometimes, when you're feeling worthless and like you're the worst person in this world, you just have to treat yourself well and love yourself better. Know your worth, and never let anyone be the reason to love yourself less.

Tahanlah pasti sakit kan, itu tandanya kamu sedang dibentuk untuk menjadi yang terbaik.

Most days of my life feel as if I could just disappear and no one would notice, like a midnight rain. And I'm not gonna lie, I prefer that for the most part. I've never been good with people, with expressing how I feel, and with letting anyone inside the walls I built around me. But there are these moments when I wish I created deeper connections with others. Moments when I long for conversations which feel like having a glimpse of someone else's soul, or sharing a piece of myself, even if it's something as simple as a favorite song.

You see, most days of my life feel as if I could just disappear and no one would notice, and I prefer that for the most part. But there are also days when I wish someone thinks of me, too, and remembers the sound of my voice or the way I laugh. It's just a comforting thought, I guess, knowing that in this beautiful world full of busy people, I existed and somehow, I mattered.

Don’t play the victim when you created the problem. Instead, sincerely apologize and change your behavior, don’t sugarcoat or manipulate someone. Grow up!

Still healing from things I didn’t deserve. 💔

Some days are really heavy,but you have to survive.

You could be married to the worst man ever like Aasiyah (ra) was married to Firaun, but it didn't change her love and loyalty for Allāh ﷻ. And you can be married to the best man like Lut (as)'s wife was, and still not enter paradise. Or you can be unmarried like Maryam (as) and Allāh ﷻ can raise your ranks higher than any woman on earth.

In the silence of midnight, overthinking whispers its doubts. 💔

At your lowest, you'll realise a lot...🖤

always learn how to be strong alone🖤

“Hey! are you okay?”

“(cry and cry)

“I’m just asking, why are you crying?”

“T-Thank you for asking”
