nonchalante

[nonchalante]

Coming and going at the same time - moving, always. Flowing and shifting - never still. A run on run on sentence of just words and flows; a break here and there but even then, just words and flows. Life can be chaotic and calm, moving so much and at the same time - coming and going. Moving, always.

May the remembrance of Allah remind you to be still and to give gratitude.

Dear Self,

You'll find peace when you lean into uncertainty as a form of empowerment. Remember, life's not just about tolerating unpredictability, but mastering the art of thriving within it. Uncertainty is your stage, not your cage. You got this.

Cycles -

Life. Breath. Life - breathe.

Death. Breath.

In every moment, we are to Allāh & to Allāh is our return.

Every moment.

With every breath, may our return to Him be filled with the longing to see and be with our Creator. In a forever we can’t even conceptualize.

May we live in every moment, truly. Alhamdulilah for the now. Alhamdulilah for the now. Alhamdulilah for the here.

To fear Allāh so much that our very sins lead us to Allāh’s Mercy.

Ya Allāh - may every action and intention lead back to you.

“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.

You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!

You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!

You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.

And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie

this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

To release, into the trust of Allah. To release with humility, sincerity, and love. To release is to accept the qadr - the divine decree whatever it may be. To release is to pour into Allah - forgive me for what I do not know and have Mercy on me.

right at the heart.

i think if we were really truly genuinely honest with ourselves, we would know exactly which of our sins is holding us back

A 3 part bit of advice

When you get up to pray, treat it as if it is your farewell prayer

Beware of saying something that will necessitate an apology tomorrow

And never look at what the hands of people possess

[nonchalante]

Look at the panoramic view - as a whole. Step back from the moment and embrace the entire picture. Glance around and see the more, there’s so much to see.

The narrative written for you is far greater than any narrative your mind can overthink.

Trust in Allāh - stay present - and remember, we were created for these times.
