Equanimity

Reblogging quotes/pictures I’m most related with. Sometimes I write. Don’t take anything seriously.

What good is what others have if it’s not yours?

This is my life, I make it feel good for me. And if it feels good then that’s enough because everything is mine.

❝O Allāh, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin that invites me to Your anger, or draws me near Your displeasure, or makes me inclined to that which You have prohibited, or distances me from [the bliss and success] to which You have invited me.❞

Imām Ḥasan al Baṣrī ‎(رحمه الله)

I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”

If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you'd be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that's before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)

The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.

Garbage service is one of the ten deadliest jobs in the United States.

And police work isn't even on that list.

kind people tend to be more optimistic during their lows because the greatest, most powerful currency in existence is compassion. amid darkness, or when you’ve made a mistake, patience and mercy extended to others—especially those “undeserving”—emerges again to redeem you in beautiful ways.

consciously or subconsciously, confidence in the gentle-hearted comes from knowing that they’re most embraced by the heavens and earth, who keep accounts of all goodness, and return every loan.

has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing

“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

[wetheurban]

The intimacy of feeling safe enough to be vulnerable. And knowing it won’t be weaponized later.

I can't live without you.

Ibn al-Qayyīm رحمه الله:

"Whatever Allāh has decreed for His believing slave is a blessing even if that is in the form of withholding; it is a favour even if that is in the form of a trial, and the calamity decreed by Him is a fair even if it is painful."

[Madārij al-Sālikīn | 4/215]

I am a sea: I rage and surge, I calm and cool, and I drown do you expect to grasp me while you stand on the shore?

Hey 2026

To be honest I didn't think this day would eventually come at all. I got through 2025 like a robot. I made absolutely no plan at all, just push through the day finishing tasks and try hard not to break down all the freaking times. I had loved being 30s because I completely don't give a single F.

Anyway, my best advice I've heard before entering the new year is live your life as if your du'a had been granted.

Imma try do that. In the least. Bismillah. Happy new year

PS I also spent my morning watching the final episode of Stranger Things and the whole final sequence literally broke me. I hated having to watch the next last 40 minutes knowing El was not there. I was just bawling the rest of the afternoon.
