dear writer; young, old, middle-aged. know that, your words aren't crafted to be kept hidden but to be discovered by other souls. these souls would see their reflection in you words. so please, don't let that inner critic within you stop you from displaying what lights your soul.

"Your voice, after all, is your most powerful discovery. Share it generously."

new theme ❤️‍🩹

[vvwarda]

this life is temporary and fleeting.

whilst alive, please, let's check on our loved ones

enjoy the little and big moments.

time flies by so fast.

there's no use of wasting it on pointless things.

let's aim for the best experiences and opportunities

and enjoy the people, and everything else

that comes on the sojourn of life.

i broke a spoon today.

it happened strangely; i only held the spoon in a normal grip, yet it snapped into two. it was quite shocking at first how such happened when normally it'd require the spoon to be snapped in half by both hands to fall apart.

time passed after that incident this morning, that was when i got reminded of something extremely vital - Qadr Allah. everything happens through Allah's Decree only. just as how it was decreed for the spoon to get broken by a soft hold this morning, that's how every single event in our life has been decreed by our Rabb, القادر، الحكيم.

some situations occur in life, which we might be unpleased with. we get distressed, and displeased at certain instances and sometimes ask the fundamental question: why me? though as muslims, it's essential to scratch thoughts like this away.

from the flapping of the wings of a butterfly, to the death of a loved one, everything has been written down 50000 years before we came into existence. therefore, when we find ourselves in stages of life which we are unpleased with, we must remember in whose Hands Qadr lies in and that there is Hikmah behind every thing that has ever occurred and is yet to occur.

life, there's a lot to that word. from my experience, i'll say your perspective of life is how you think of yourself and how your overall health in general is.

life is so precious when you begin to find value in yourself. the little things begin to bring you joy; taking a walk on a windy day, those comfy moments with friends, hanging out with people you care about, talking to the moon about your problems and your day, reconnecting with God, loving family more, winning awards, making parents proud, hanging out with love ones, falling in love, nurturing a talent, giving birth to a child, light softhearted intimate moments, appreciating every little thing that comes your way because being alive alone is a huge blessing a lot of people fail to realize.

although, life isn't always a sunny day in the beach, sometimes it's going to throw you on a rocky ground and that's fine too. sadness, grief, loss, these are all natural things that happen to every human and there's beauty in that too; losing someone you care about, failing an exam, not getting the love you give back, not being appreciated, heartbreak, death, feeling the urge to give up on something you've always wanted and worked for, not being included when you badly want to be, having to choose between difficult decisions that whichever one will ultimately lead to something that might lead you into despair; there is beauty in all of these. the pain that we feel throughout our courses of lives contribute to our being and shapes our souls to make us whole and who we are. it beautifies us and tells our secrets. it scars us, it heals us, it mends us an sometimes changes us. it shows us the versatility of our human nature.

life is an art - there is good art and bad art, and you are the audience to filter how you see your art.
