niqabaeee

please be gentle with yourself. you’re trying. if it’s taking you longer than you thought to achieve something or get somewhere that’s okay. try not to compare yourself to others too much because not everyone gets to where they need to be right away. you’re alive that’s what matters. keep trying. you’ll get there.

Ok but where is this from

Her name’s Marianne, she’s a Samburu woman and the Supalake village chairlady. It’s from The Land of No Men: Inside Kenya’s Women-Only Village and that convo is at 22:16, but the entire video is awesome!

no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice

God answers your prayers in the way that you need, not the way that you want.

my friend just texted me “it’s not acceptable that trump feels good about himself and you don’t” and i think it’s the most motivational thing i’ve ever read

tbh sometimes u just gotta let me be dramatic. bcos i Will get over it! but let me be dramatic first.

DON’T DRAG RAMI LIKE THIS

When we talk about Islam, many times we emphasize the concept of mercy. Please, this Ramadan, show some mercy to yourselves. You might not be where you want to be religiously, you might not be able to do the religious stuff you want to, but realize that whatever steps you take this Ramadan are huge ones, important ones, and ones you should be happy about, masha Allah.
