a friend will not (literally) share your struggles, + a loved one cannot physically take away your pain, + a close one will not stay up the night on your behalf. look after yourself. protect + nurture yourself, + don’t give life’s events more than what they are really worth. ✨ know for certain that when you break no one will heal you except you, + when you are defeated no one will give you victory except your determination. your ability to stand up again + carry on is your responsibility. only yours. don’t look for your self worth in the eyes of people; look for your worth from within your conscious. people are fickle, one day they’ll place you on a pedestal, the next applaud at your downfall. if your conscious is at peace then you will ascend high + if you truly know yourself then what is said about you won’t harm you. carry one thing: how to please Him. because if you please Him, He fulfils you + enriches you. sadness departs with a Sajdah + happiness comes with a sincere Dua. 🤍 this is the season of gatherings, visitors from afar in your home, set the tone from within + help your home do the same. #landgathome prepare a few spaces where you’d want to cozy up as well as your guest! i’ve gathering my favorites from @luluandgeorgia linked in my @shop.ltk + saved in my highlights for links ☺️
