sometimes you must ask for what you need/want

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:

“Whenever you make someone else happy, rest assured that happiness will come back to you in return, along with your reward from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.”

—Commentary on Al-Muntaqaa, 4/642

it’s okay if today you:

-needed space

-didn’t finish everything

-tried your best but still fell short

-got frustrated with yourself

-had a hard time getting out of bed

-didn’t have the motivation you wanted

-had a hard time loving yourself

things will be okay. you got this. you’re still making it through things even though it’s not simple. i’m proud of you.

i talk about empathy, but i have also hurt people.

i talk about personal growth, but sometimes i repeat the same patterns.

i talk about healing, but sometimes i keep living in the past.

i give positive messages, but sometimes i’m the one who needs them.

i talk about love, but i still carry pain in my heart.

i talk about having a positive mindset, but there are days when everything consumes me.

aaj yuun mauj dar mauj gham tham gaya,

Istarah gamzadon ko quarar aa gaya,

Jaise khushboo-e-zulf-e-bahaar aa gayi,

Jaise paigaam-e-deedar-e-yaar aa gaya!

Today the waves of my pain have stopped for sometime,

The suffering has found some respite,

As if the scent of the hair of my beloved has come to me

As if she has sent me a message to see her again.

i was complaining to my mum about the amount of work i have to do and said “i’ll be so happy when this is over”

she said: “why? you didn’t pray for this?”

You are not a bother. You are not a burden. You are not a waste of space. You are not annoying every person you talk to. Your existence matters. Your presence makes a good difference.
