"ستمضي الأيام، وتتخلى عن أشياء أدمنتها. ستترك أحدًا، وستلغي حلمًا، وأخيرًا ستتقبل واقعًا."

"Something I haven't seen people talking about is how it's possible to have extremely strong emotions that don't come from any one single event, but from a bunch of events that, on their own, feel trivial. So, you feel like you're in a bad mood for 'no reason' because you can't think of any single inciting incident that feels proportionate to the intensity of the feelings you're experiencing. You're actually feeling the emotional strain of a thousand minor events stacked on top of each other. Your feelings are valid. You aren't feeling upset for 'no reason."

“We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.”

I've had a dream today, it was so painful it revived my heart.

My friend once said: "Life is beautiful, I swear to God. It's people who make it intolerable". And to be honest, she didn't really say it this exact way because I had to alter some curse words, but it is a sentence that I'd start a debate with, because I once thought it wasn't right until I experienced it.

I saw a mother today, crying heavily because she didn't know how to give her son his medication.
The doctor was scolding her because she saw her doing it the wrong way, and before she could finish her sentence, the mother broke in tears, and all the doctors started calming her up instead. The look of misery on her face, the look of concern on her son's face, and the minor acts that the doctors made as they tried to tell her that it's okay not to know how to give it from the first try. It all made me feel a sting in my heart, a sting of sadness and gratitude, sadness for the poor mother, who thinks diabetes is the end of the world, and gratitude to God, for putting me in such a humane speciality, surrounded by such warm hearts.

هذا تذكير مني لك بألا تفقد الأمل في أن تحدث تغييرًا للأفضل في هذه الحياة. الصوت الواضح الثابت الذي يصدع بالحق يصل للمسامع وللقلوب الصادقة طال الزمن أو قصر، اثبت على الحق واصدع به ولا تيأس ، وفي يوم ما ستلتفت خلفك فترى جيشًا مصطفًا يردد رسالة الحق التي واظبت على نشرها بثبات.

Meeting malicious people shouldn't make you one of them. It should make you realise how important it is for you not to be anything like them.

Life is scary because we are human beings; we ought to have feelings as we pass by things in life, and we ought to love. And the fact that death is inevitable, sudden, and unannounced is frightening because we have to love and we must lose. Above all, we don't know whom we will lose as we choose whom to love, nor do we know when to let things by and be present for those that are leaving soon. Life is surely sad, difficult, and somehow scary, but it makes me less sad and less frightened to know that this is not the end, and I can still give to those whom I love even after their departure.
