[ID: gifs from episode 23 of the series “Love Between Fairy and Devil.” Orchid, Dongfang Qingcang, Shangque, and Jie Li are all sitting in a room together dressed in moral attire. Orchid says to Dongfang Qingcang with a dejected expression, “It’s because you are too charming. You met Lady Wanqing under the moonlight and made her fall in love with you at first sight.” Dongfang Qingcang responds, “The fairy in the painting is exaggerating my charms.” Orchid looks upset and says, “Why is her dream lover being so modest?” Dongfang Qingcang looks taken aback. Orchid continues to look put out. Both Shangque and Jie Li look around awkwardly, amused but trying to hide it. /end ID]

“To be content with a thing doesn’t mean that you are personally happy with it. It means that: I am content with God, my Lord, who has ordained this for me. We can be content in happiness, and content in sadness. All the things that transpire in our lives are from God. He willed for it to be. Contentment is a type of submission: I have no complaints against Him, and I can do the best in the situation that I am in, and I will seek to find the wisdom that God has in this.”

“Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.”

“When your mind begins to fall off track, handle it delicately. Be careful when it begins to think irrational thoughts, for it is then when we become the most vulnerable to our greatest fears.”

You have the entire day to yourself, and you can do anything at all. Anything. What do you do?

Nothing.

It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.

Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. Lightly, lightly— it’s the best advice ever given me. So throw away your baggage and go forward.

There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly.

“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do.”
