just because you love the ocean, doesn't mean you have to drown it.

deep...

I promise you have your entire life to find the love of your life.


Instead, start falling in love with your life, today. Enjoy your morning coffee, dance around your room to your favorite song. Wear your favorite shirt and get ready FOR YOURSELF! Live slowly. Savor those little magical moments happening around you that are probably going unnoticed right now. If you don't, you will wake up one day and your time here will have run out, and you will realize you spent your entire life looking for love in other people, instead of finding it in yourself.

I place my tawakkul in my Allah, trusting that everything happens for a beautiful reason. Over the past 18 years, I have come to realize that when something is taken away, it is because something better is on the horizon. And it requires patience, maybe I should wait longer, but the result will definitely be worthwhile. I have also understood that nothing is truly worth my happiness or stress except for my deen.

All things pass with time.

Nature changes.

Your age.

People around you.

Bad and good things happen, as they always have.

Understand what you can do and be grateful for Allah.
