"أنا أؤمن بوجود الخير في أي موقف، حتى في المواقف السيئة، أؤمن بأن جميع الأمور السيئة التي قد تحدث لي، جاءت لتحميني من أمور أشد سوءًا منها، أؤمن بأن الله ما أخذ مني إلا ليُعطيني الأفضل، وما أخر علي أمرًا تمنيته وحملته كل أدعيتي إلا لأنه سيأتيني به في الوقت المناسب، أنا أؤمن جدًا."

There is supposed to be a place where no one can reach you. Traditionally, the home, but now we settle for the ocean, the airplane, the summit of a mountain, the middle of a lake, the shower, the womb, the grave

I like calm men. Men who don’t shout or break things when they’re mad. Men who tell you exactly how they feel. Men who communicate. Men who talk you in a gentle, low voice telling you what made them mad or what you did wrong, but never blame you and make you feel bad about it.

thinking abt when someone rests their head on your shoulder and suddenly you're barely breathing because you don't want to disrupt their comfort by moving. will never get over how there can be so much love held in silent gestures.

“i don’t owe anyone anything” is one of the most incredibly callous and damaging phrases to enter popular vernacular. you owe everyone kindness and consideration, always. understand the idea of a social contract. you cannot reap the benefits of human society and interaction while maintaining such a cold and thankless attitude about it. i mean you can but you’d be a bad person for it

ثم ينظر اللهُ إليكَ فيجدُ أنكَ ترضى بما أنتً فيه ، فيعطيك عطاءً يليقُ بقلبكَ ورضاك.

‏"ولا تجعلني خدشًا في قلب أحد، ولا تجربة سيئة، ولا خسارة، ولا كسرًا، ولا جرحًا، وأخرجني منها بالستر والعافية، لا لي ولا عليّ."

Big huge fan of the way people eyes soften when looking at people they love it’s like they can’t help but let their guard down and open their hearts up

No because pride and prejudice isn't "I changed myself for you so you would love me back." It's "your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don't expect you to love me now that I'm a work in progress, so I'm just going to do nice things for you because I don't like seeing you hurt." No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.

" أحبّ طريقة الله في انتشال كُل الخراب الذي بقلبي واستبداله بكمّية طمأنينة وتقبُّل .. كُل ما يهدمه النّاس فينا، الله وحدهُ الذي يعيد بناءهُ أفضل ممّا كانَ عليه ."

"I love you like a candle box, I love everything inside.. but as our love burns, I am afraid that one day it will die. I try to make the candles last, so I live in the dark.. every now and again, I light one up, but just a spark. I will make these candles last as long as I can, but one day I will need to take you under the stars."

You can burn candles to light your way, but some day you will need the sun's rays - eUë
