I’m so curious. How has the pandemic affected you? How has it been where you live?

I’m forever speechless by the work of my Lord. A simple virus has brought the world to its knees. Subhanallah.

they constantly say “a woman’s place is…” and the options where they try to place us are limitless: in the kitchen in the house in the senate in the resistance they either want to build us up or tear us down all while pushing us into places where they think we should be shoving us into boxes and rooms trying to make us into someone else and so they constantly try to tell us where “a woman’s place” is but what they don’t realize is that “a woman’s place” is anywhere she chooses to stand

“Don’t be discouraged when you see others doing well. Don’t begrudge your friend for getting that job you’ve been eyeing for a while. You are almost there. What the Almighty is giving you requires patience, focus and commitment! Your time will come when He makes it happen!“

- Mufti Menk

For everyone with social anxiety, this is a reminder that you don't have to be perfect in your interactions with others; you just have to be kind and that's literally it. That's all that's necessary of you. You don't need to say the perfect thing or anticipate what they would want you to say or even exude confidence if you can't.

Social anxiety tells us that we have to be perfect in in our social interactions, but no one is. Social anxiety sets us up for a level of expectation in our social interactions that we have no choice but to fail at, and then fall into a cycle of self-hate for failing and striving even harder for perfection.

If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless.

A name is precious; it carries inside it a language, a history, a set of traditions, a particular way of looking at the world. Losing it meant losing my ties to all those things too.

The goal is to laugh forever with someone you take seriously.

darkacademiaquotes

"And I pray one prayer--I repeat it till my tongue stiffens--Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you--haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!"

-Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
