"You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t find yourself in. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t love yourself in. You’re allowed to leave a city that has dimmed your light instead of making you shine brighter, you’re allowed to pack all your bags and start over somewhere else and you’re allowed to redefine the meaning of your life. You’re allowed to quit the job you hate even if the world tells you not to and you’re allowed to search for something that makes you look forward to tomorrow and to the rest of your life. You’re allowed to leave someone you love if they’re treating you poorly, you’re allowed to put yourself first if you’re settling and you’re allowed to walk away when you’ve tried over and over again but nothing has changed. You’re allowed to let toxic friends go, you’re allowed to surround yourself with love, and people who encourage and nurture you. You’re allowed to pick the kind of energy you need in your life. You’re allowed to forgive yourself for your biggest and smallest mistakes and you’re allowed to be kind to yourself, you’re allowed to look in the mirror and actually like the person you see. You’re allowed to set yourself free from your own expectations. We sometimes look at leaving as a bad thing or associate it with giving up or quitting, but sometimes leaving is the best thing you can do for yourself. Leaving allows you to change directions, to start over, to rediscover yourself and the world. Leaving sometimes saves you from staying stuck in the wrong place with the wrong people. Leaving opens a new door for change, growth, opportunities and redemption. You always have the choice to leave until you find where you belong and what makes you happy. You’re even allowed to leave the old you behind and reinvent yourself." Author: Rania Naim #ranianaim https://www.instagram.com/p/B73AHelgvDw/?igshid=1udn7ez9t4uyx

Let go of all of the expectations, let go of all the timelines and let go of the notion that at a certian age you have to be more accomplished than others or you need to have it all together. . The entire system andvertised that we aren't enough, and that we have to be someone at a certain age. We silently struggle with our anxieties and continue to put a huge smile on our face. . As you embrace the goodness in where you are, your eyes tend to open to the blessings already around you. And when your life plays out in a different timeline than originally expected, you aren’t disappointed—because you didn’t expect things that God never promised. . Refusing to box God in is not the opposite of hope. You can—and should—still hope for those big occasions in life. Just don’t demand God to make them happen on your time. He is God; we are not. Living with that in mind is the foundation of faith. Have faith gorgeous. The best is yet to come. . . . #MermaidHairDontCare #Beach #PretzelClub #ProjectInspired #RaniaNaim (at Inflatable Island Ph) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7mnUOWn-VP/?igshid=4qcvfrdum9yh

My favorite prayer/reminder 💕 one of my favorite older pieces 😊 Dear God, Please don’t let me get attached to what’s not meant for me anymore. Don’t let me get attached to something or someone that you plan on taking away from me. I know your plan is unknown but until you reveal it to me, please make it easier. Don’t let me hold on to what I need to let go of. Don’t let me fight for what I need to release. Do not let me desire what will eventually destroy me. Do not let me love those who will break my heart. Because I get attached easily and I hold on to things tightly, so please don’t let my mind want things that I can’t handle, don’t let my mind trick me into wanting things I don’t need or things that are not good for me. Please don’t let my heart miss people who don’t miss me. Don’t let my heart long for the ones who left. Don’t let my heart fall in love with someone who doesn’t want to stay. Please don’t let me get attached to the things that keep me up at night, to people who leave me wondering and to places I’m not meant to live in. Bring me closer to what’s meant for me, let me hold on to those who are meant to stay. But let me forget about the things that were never meant to be, give me the faith I need to believe that I’m better off without them. Give me the wisdom I need to realize that I deserve so much better and that I’ll be happier somewhere else with somebody else. Or just give me tolerance I need right now to be okay with not getting the things I want, with not loving the ones I wanted to love and give me the patience I need to wait for your blessings and wait for your gifts. But for now, please don’t let me get attached to what’s wrong for me. Don’t let me invest so much in things or people I’m bound to lose. Don’t let me want what’s not mine. Don’t let me build a future around what’s temporary. A Prayer by Rania Naim
