Ghosts

For as long you’re alive, keep hope alive. Hope in the Mercy of Allah. Hope that He wants what’s best for you and will give it to you at the right time. So whatever you’re facing - trials, stress, broken affairs, have hope that they’re all temporary. Better days are ahead insha’Allah!

Allow people to like you, to enjoy your company, to want to be your friend. Allow them to compliment you, allow others to think you're cool and funny even if you think you're not. It is not up to you to tell others how to feel, and remember that people might see the positive things in you and qualities that you have been failing to see while being too self-critical. Allow yourself to be liked by other people, even when you don't see why they should. Don't self-isolate because you think you are not good enough for other people.

every single person you know has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes
