“as you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.”

“في نهاية طريق الوحدة يشعر المرء بأنهُ اعتاد، غادرتهُ الحاجة إلى الرفقة، إلى الأنس، يتساوى النوم والأرق، يصبح اللقاء بشخصٍ آخر مؤلماً كالشوكة. كالغربة.”

‏عليك أن تبني في نفسك شخصًا لا يحتاج في اليوم الصعب إلى ملجأ .

“But then it passed, as all things do.”

“things are shifting because you are due a change. things are falling apart because you deserve something new. things are not going at the pace you want them to because there are lessons where you are currently rooted. things are swimming in your direction, don’t reject the waves.”

“لو عدت يوما إلى نفسي، فهل أجد النفسَ التي كانت !”

You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now, and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead.
