One Day Zero

يمكنك تعذيب نفسك بالقلق أو حرر نفسك بالتوكل على الله

Someone asked Hasan al-Basri (رحمه الله) 

This made me through today.

“I’m independent and strong, but sometimes…just sometimes, it’s nice to be taken care of.”

“She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul.”

“When I say, I love you, it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.”

“Don’t you dare fucking touch my heart unless you plan to stay.”

“A lot can happen in a year.”
