“Turn your gaze instead to the small things,
the minutiae of the sacred ordinary:
the quiet grace of dust dancing in the sunbeams,
the sound of the rain through the streetlamps.” — Caroline Mellor

Wanting something is not the problem, wanting is part of life because it's natural to have goals and preferences. The problem is wanting something so bad (craving/attachment) that you lose your inner peace.

The deepest and most healing friendships are often between people who are very different from each other. What keeps the bond strong is that they each embrace personal growth. As they evolve and transform, the love and care is still there, because they do not fear change.

Connections often break under the weight of unresolved trauma and poor communication. Old hurt creates distance between partners and it makes it hard to see each other clearly. Without selfless listening and vocalizing your vulnerability, it will be hard to deepen the connection.

[Lama Siblini @lamasiblini]

It’s so easy to blame others for your own happiness. It’s also so easy to loose your credibility by doing so.

Credibility, the quality of being trusted and believed in.

[Lama Siblini @lamasiblini]

Some people are just good people and you can feel it. There’re that little spark they have, or this little special thing they have that just make you feel safe and happy around them.

"يخاطبني السفيهُ بكل قبحٍ ، فأكره أن أكون له مجيبا.
يزيد سفاهةً فأزيد حلم، كعودٍ زاده الإحراقُ طيبا." -المتنبي

كن قليل الكلام كثير التجاهل. فالتغافل من كثر ما هو شيء مريح للبال، يكاد يكون من أهم أساسيات السعادة. والراحة في الحياة بشكل عام هي أن لا تدقق على كل شيء أيًا كان.

#بيروت_التراث - أوتيل بسّول أو غراند أوتيل الشرق. كان يقع في منطقة ميناء الحصن-الزيتونة. بّني في القرن التاسع عشر وكان من الفنادق الأوائل في الشرق الأوسط. هدمته شركة سوليدير في تسعينات القرن العشرين، وبذلك فقدت بيروت جزءاً من ذاكرتها. الصور من أوائل القرن العشرين وحتى العام ١٩٧٣.
