I am beautiful. I have value, I have purpose, I am loved, I am blessed, I am a blessing.

“أما بعد.. فقد أرسلت روحي تعانق روحك فهل تشعر بها، وأما قبل.. فقد رأيت عندك الفجر وأخذت منه نهاراً أحمله في روحي لايُظلم أبداً.”

look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you 

[iimohamd]

“سلاما للذين تصوّروا أن بإمكانهم تغيير العالم/الأشخاص/الحالات فأخذوا نَفَسا بحجم التخلّي، واستخلصوا ذواتهم من كل شاغل وباطل، وفرّغوا إنسانيتهم من كل حادث وقديم، ثم جدّوا في الطريق، واستقاموا على الطريقة، ومنحوا من ذوات أنفسهم ما منحوا، دون انتظار المثل، وتوقّع العطيّة، ومدّوا أياديهم -بيضاء من غير سوء- بالسلام والطمأنينة والمحبة والطبطبة والتعلّق، ثم فتحوا أعينهم، ذات مواجهة، على قبح أعمق من أن يفهموه، وخذلان أكبر من أن تحتمله قلوبهم، وضياع أفجع من أن يدفعوا ثمنه وحدهم، وتراب عاصف يصفّر ويدوّي، يجتاح مدنهم ويهدم بيوتهم ويقوّض إيمانهم ويدفنهم أحياء مذهولين عطشى وجوعى ومنبوذين!”

“Her beauty drowned me. As I sat in front of her I felt that I would do anything mad for her, anything she asked of me. She was color, brilliance, strangeness.”

— Anaïs Nin, Henry and June

“My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop this incessant worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.”

— Anaïs Nin

“Smile because you are alive. Because it happened. Because you’ve learned. Smile because you are now stronger. You have evolved. You are a higher version of yourself. Smile because every day is a new beginning and a chance for you to shed your old skin. Smile, just because.”

— Nicole Addison @thepowerwithin

You deserve a conscious lover. Someone who will not only know your favorite color or flower, but when to offer words in your rage, or the strongest embrace when no words will do.

You deserve a conscious lover. Someone who will not only work with you but for you. Work for your happiness when you’ve forgotten how to create it.. work for your smile when your lips won’t curve.

You, my dear, deserve a conscious lover that couldn’t imagine being anything else.

haha not much how about you

[p96al]

self care is also being honest with yourself about your negative habits and mistakes. it’s also taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. self care is diverting from a negative space to a positive one. creating light and balance. blooming. watering your own flowers. being gentle but honest with yourself.

so take care.
