A penny for my thoughts 🪴🐓

[recoverystuff-deactivated202108]

to anyone who's struggling right now :

the days where you feel like you want to give up are normal. they are all a part of your recovery. no road is straight forever, there will be twists and turns and you'll sometimes feel like there is no way forward. but you'll find the right path again, I promise. I know you're probably going through something really hard, and I know these words won't mean a lot to you right now. but I am so proud of how far you have come. please don't turn back now because of one bad moment. keep pushing through and you'll make it.

in this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief . why would you withhold that. do you remember what a little relief feels like? it feels like a lot

I feel fragile, yet I remain. And every day I do, I tell myself that this struggle is shaping me, not ending me.

“I think only once in your life do you find someone that you say, “Hey, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my time on this earth with.” And if you miss it, or walk away from it, or even maybe, blink―it’s gone.”

— Jacqueline Woodson, If You Come Softly

ASAP:

1. as slow as possible

2. as soft as possible

3. as sincere as possible

4. allow space and pause

no du’ā is too big for Allāh, so be delulu as much as you can.

[vaninnavaninni]

“You must read, you must persevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire, and exert the utmost power of your mind. If one way does not lead to the desired meaning, take another; if obstacles arise, then still another; until, if your strength holds out, you will find that clear which at first looked dark.”

— Giovanni Boccaccio (b. 16 June 1313)

Do not attach your heart to any human being!

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - said:

The heart was created solely for the love of Allah Almighty. Do not scatter your heart in seeking love, security, and perfection from other than Allah. You will not find it, and the heart will continue to be let down by people. And they are all excused, due to their own deficiency and weakness. You will continue to be disappointed and hurt until you become certain that true attachment is only befitting for Allah, and that the heart does not find rest, tranquility, and a sense of security except with Allah. So, love others for the sake of Allah, in accordance with Allah's will, and to please Allah -not to please yourself. And whoever pleases Allah , He will please them, even if after a while.
