You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known- and even that is an understatement.

Marry someone who is interested in you. I don’t mean someone who thinks you’re cute or funny. I mean someone who wants to deal both with the darkness and brightness of your soul. Someone who wants to know every insignificant detail of you. Someone who wants to embrace every scar of your soul, every flaw of your body and learn where each one came from. Someone who wants to know your favourite brand of toothpaste, and which quotes resonate deep inside your bones when you hear them. There is a difference between attraction and interest. Find the person who wants to learn every aspect of who you are, and hold onto them.

Forgive, not for their sake, but for yourself. Challenge yourself every time you feel bitter to lift that weight off of your chest. This is exercise for the soul.

And when you undress before bed, remember to dispose of your worries too. They have a bad habit of sticking to your skin if unattended.

When a person is content with what they have, God bestows more blessings upon them but if a person is ungrateful and fails to count their blessings, God will take it away. Be content with what you have and don’t think about what you don’t have……

{ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ } “So ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive.”

My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

The first sign of a loving mother is that she chose for you a loving father.

Female beauty is a drug used to distract and intoxicated men while they rob them blind of resources. Every time men like the picture of a random female, she receives the signal that her game is strong. She wins, but we all lose. Women don’t need to be told how they look if it doesn’t increase the quality of thier humanity and I assure you it doesn’t.
