Islah

“So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out, and decide.”

“You don’t need another human being to make your life complete, but let’s be honest. Having you wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters in your soul but cracks to put their love into is the most calming thing in this world.”

“You need to make space in your heart for someone who has the capacity to love you just as much as you love them.”

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”

Allow yourself to live slowly. There's a wisdom in that which the hurried world has forgotten.

“No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you will somehow make it. Have an unrelenting belief that things will work out, that the long road has a purpose, that the things that you desire may not happen today, but they will happen. Continue to persist and persevere.”

“When you look at your life and feel at peace because of changes you’ve made, that’s recovery.”

“Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important. Capture the good moments, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out, take another shot.”
