this made my heart so soft. i hope we all begin to lean towards being gentler with ourselves because we’re exactly where we need to be (it might not seem like it or feel aligned but everything is always working for our good). 🤍
Cried so much this year, I really hope I'm much happier next year. It's one of the things I'm praying, A joy that stays. A joy that's not easily shaken!
Having options, I think we sometimes overlook how big of a blessing it is to have options in choosing what to eat, what to wear, what to drink, what shoe to put on based on the weather, what perfume to use, a preferred toothpaste or a preferred hospital. Alhamdulillah
Some of y’all are really bad people, bad friends, bad family. Please stop acting and pretending like you were the good person in bad situations. You weren’t & you know you weren’t. Some of y’all owe a lot of people apologies, even if it doesn’t include reconnecting.
Eventually I think the best coping mechanism is a hobby. Your interests will always nurse you back to joy. Reading, writing, playing a sport - find something that brings joy, then spend enough time nurturing it. Rely on it to always help you find your way back.
