Had to play the role of strong, independent woman for my entirety of twenties and now, at the cusp of my thirties, my only wish is life to treat me gently like a nazuk pari.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."
If the girl whose world came crashing down 2.5 years ago could make a comeback and slowly start to become herself, then she’ll sure as heck get over this heartbreak.
Dukh is baat ka hai ke main ne toh saaf dil se koshish ki thi.
2 years ago, on 13th December 2022, my life's worst fear came true and my entire world came crashing down.
2 years later, I am sitting in my apartment, painting my nails, watching a k-drama and having chai.
I can't believe I made it through those long, dark nights. I have no idea how I did it.
Alhumdulillah.

“Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly."

Sometimes I think I will make it to medschool. Let’s see.

guess whose result came today and is a doctor now?
guess who is a GMC registered doctor now?
“Is it not possible that a place could have a huge affection for those who dwell there? Perhaps your place loves having you there. It misses you when you are away and in its secret way rejoices when you return. Could it be possible that a landscape might have a deep friendship with you? That it could feel your presence and feel the care you extend towards it? Perhaps your favorite place feels proud of you…”
—John O'Donohue from his book Beauty: The Invisible Embrace.
Here is something I’ve learned that made my life better. You can believe in the efficacy of science, and also that there’s magic in the world. You can choose to believe in whatever makes the world more wonderful and livable for you as long as it hurts no one. You can believe, for example, that the trees you walk by often notice you, or the crows in your area recognize you when you go outside. You can notice special places in your area and believe there are quiet beings there that you can leave small gifts for or that something in the little stream nearby is pleased when you visit. What possible harm can it do to believe something like that? Why deny yourself that if it brings you joy? People try to get you to believe there are all these things wrong with you and wrong with the world, all kinds of things that make you sad or mad. Why not choose a few things to believe on purpose to make you glad? Why not be an OC in your own secret story?
book dedications are so tender here is this piece of art i made for an audience of thousands. but really every word is for you
This really is my life and i will make it beautiful
“When you are washing the dishes, washing the dishes must be the most important thing in your life. Just as when you are drinking tea, drinking tea must be the most important thing in your life. Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the whole world revolves—slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this actual moment is life.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh (via aspiritualwarrior)
Not me listening to marry you - glee and watching jim & pam’s wedding entrance and realising that all the friendships I thought were concrete relationships have dissolved so idek who will put the time and effort to hype me at MY wedding.
