It’s Okay To Say ‘this Isn’t For Me’ Or ‘I’m Not Happy Here’ And Leave… You Don’t Have

*becomes everything I dreamed of when I was little and almost doesn’t notice*

"The problem with the singularity is that once we are in the upper quadrant, i.e., once we have gone through the horizon and are 'inside the black hole,' we can't avoid eventually hitting it. Indeed, it is not really a place. As already discussed last lecture, it is really, in a sense, a time. We can avoid an obstacle in space--we go around it--but we cannot avoid 'hitting the future.' We can escape from things, even from freedom, but not from the future."

-Leonard Susskind, General Relativity (2023)

Wake up and open your curtains. Your windows too.

Drink some tea or coffee, whatever pleases you. Notice every sip.

Have some fresh fruit and finish breakfast feeling full.

Stand outside and feel the air. Cool or warm, it will make you feel real.

Get some exercise. Yoga to soothe, running to breathe, lifting for strength.

Take care of your body. Have a nice shower and pamper as much as you want afterward. 

If you’re going to work, remember you have the chance to make anyone’s day or to ruin it. Act accordingly. 

Weed out the bad language. It’s only creating tension in your body and mind. Kind words are infinitely more appreciated.

Take some time each day to improve your mind. Keep reading that great book. Listen to an incredible piece of music. Practice an instrument or a skill. The progress is its own reward.

Pictures will help you remember how wonderful life is. But spend less time on your phone and more time seeing the world face to face. 

Go to sleep knowing that you have done well. Tomorrow is there with room to become even better.

-Notes to myself on how to become a better person this summer.

My lord, I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the loss of good health, the sudden onset of Your wrath, and from anything that may lead to Your displeasure.

Oh ok so it turns out ive been borrowing grief from the future ! it turns out ive been preparing to lose the things i love rather than basking in the light of them while they last. Maybe i should nt do that

what’s it called when you’re so disconnected from reality that cold water doesn’t feel like anything and you can barely taste food anymore

Heart is connected to the face!

‎Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

‎ “What is in the heart from light and darkness, good and bad, a lot of it flows to the face and the eye, and they are the greatest things connected to the heart.

‎ That is why it is narrated on the authority of Uthman رضي الله عنه, that he said: “No one is hid his secrets except Allah reveals it on the pages of his face and the slips of his tongue.”
