Forgive These Things In Islam
• Forgive your parents for not loving you how you needed, but the only way they knew how. “Lord have mercy on my parents, they raised me when i was little” (17:24)
• Forgive yourself for everything you did that was bad, because Allah already forgave you. “Allah forgives all” (39:53) The past is past : keep moving & do better
• Forgive others for hurting you, because they were weak. “Humankind was created weak” (4:28) Only hurt people, hurt others
• Forgive sins that you witness around you. You don’t know what peoples’ journeys are. So don’t judge. “True judgement belongs to Allah” (6:57)
• Forgive yourself for not always being the best version of yourself. “You’re only human” (18:110) Forgive yourself to heal yourself
They shooting the messenger, but she ain’t wrong. Dating and sex were heavily demonized in a lot of our homes. We were told to stay away from boys and focus on school. The problem is that relationships are a skill set too and many Black women were prepared for careers but left to figure out dating, boundaries, and healthy partnership on our own.

Tina Knowles shares her thoughts on the 'Euphoria' series finale and praises Zendaya for her portrayal of Rue:
"I know that this was just a TV show, so why have I been depressed since yesterday? — It feels as though I lost a family member! Maybe it’s because I like Zendaya so much or maybe it’s because I had a nephew that reminded me so much of Rue. [...] It is a testament to how amazing Zendaya is as an actress because I felt every bit of pain, every bit of joy, every bit of confusion that she was feeling. It seems crazy now that I pray that the character will turn around and it would have a good ending, of course it didn't."

Emma Watson reveals Hollywood broke her
“I came to work looking for friendship and that was a very painful experience for me outside of Harry Potter and in Hollywood. Like bone-breakingly painful”
“Most people don't come to those environments looking for friendships. They're looking for this is my chance, this is my role, this is what I want out of it”
“I found the rejection really painful. The friendship rejection. I took that expectation into my other workplaces and I just got my ass kicked. I really did”
“It broke me but in a way, I'm proud that it did because I guess that means I have something left to break. I have a heart left to break”
“I'd much rather keep my humanity”
