Girl to girl... normalize saying "I would rather adjust my life to your absence than adjust my boundaries to tolerate your disrespect." ...and walking away without guilt
Respectfully, I don't go above and beyond for people anymore. I meet you as far as you meet me. I speak to you as much as you speak to me. I include you as much as you include me.
Been in my grafting era. Two jobs back to back, six days a week. Not everyone will understand or support it — and that’s okay. Losing friendships is part of life, especially the unsupportive ones
If you knew how many times Allah protected you from haram income,
toxic friends, wrong relationships,
you would cry from gratitude.
Not every rejection is pain,
some rejections are rescue missions.
ngl, i feel like everything that happened this year needed to happen to allow me to see everybody ain't for me, learning to set boundaries, learning to stop over sharing and over playing my part. sht ain't break me, IT MADE ME!!!
This year forced me to face so many parts of myself and I am left with the realization that you really have to be there for yourself and not expect anyone to understand you.
