many are the stars i see, but in my eye no star like thee

If We Were

If we were two sunflowers, I’d face you instead of the sun, forgetting it even existed, just to bask in your quiet light.

If we were waves in the sea, I’d find my way back to you, no matter how far I drifted, you’d be my shore.

If we were pages in a book, I’d want to be written next to you, in every chapter, underlined in the same ink.

If we were songs, I’d hope we’d be a duet— two voices that fit together, through the quiet of hearts.

If we were raindrops, I’d fall next to you, tracing the same path, disappearing only when you do.

Keep searching—but not for someone else.

Search for yourself: your passion, your purpose, your happiness.

Understand your worth first.

Only then will you know what you truly need, not just what you want.

It’s okay if you didn’t do everything today. It’s okay if you felt a little lost. It’s okay if you’re still figuring things out.

You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle of becoming.

[girlwhowritesnotes]

More water. More walks. More honest conversations. Less overthinking. Less proving. Less pretending everything is fine.

[girlwhowritesnotes]

Nobody talks enough about how peaceful it is

when you stop trying to prove yourself to everyone.

When you just do your thing quietly,

without needing validation for every step.

That kind of silence? It’s healing.

Growth usually feels like loss before it feels like grace. You don’t realize it at first, but God is removing what would’ve broken you so he can make room for what will heal you.

some days, i’m proud of myself other days i’m just surviving and i’ve decided both count because i’m still here

[girlwhowritesnotes]

there are days i forgive the world simply because the sun looks kind and then there are days where even my own shadow feels heavy.

this dunya wasn't even fair to our beloved prophets, so why would you expect it to be fair to you?

[girlwhowritesnotes]

I disappear when I outgrow a place.

[girlwhowritesnotes]

I love slowly, but once I do, you live in every poem.

[girlwhowritesnotes]

I am not who I was last year, and that's the point.

Access to you is a privilege not everyone deserves.

my heart does a little '!' when i see you
