I need to save myself

Image
I need to stop giving too much, loving too much, forgetting myself too much… doing everything too much. I need to stop pleasing everyone and forsaking my right to be treated equally. I need to become bolder. I need to set boundaries and limitations for people who invade my life. I need to do what makes ME happy, not everyone else. I need to save myself. No one else will. This piece is part of a challenge that will hopefully encourage me to get back to writing. Wish me luck. :) #FreeWritingChallenge #DayTwo

2019 First Thoughts: Life is Short

Image
I’m always late for everything… I’m late for appointments, I’m late in responses, I’m late in life. When friends used to meet on Thursdays, I was at home trying to convince my parents to join them. When people were way ahead with their careers, I was finally starting one. While some of the people I know managed to be in control of their emotions, I still face times when I’m an emotional wreck… hanging on by a thread. “Focus on the quality, not the quantity,” a college professor once advised me, when I shared my frustration of not completing my translation exam on time. From that moment forward, I learned to give everything time. I knew I’ll have to live with it. I admit it slightly solved my problem. But still, I struggle with the fact that things take time to cook; especially in a world where everything and everyone are running like crazy. I find myself dynamic and fast sometimes, though – as weird as it sounds. I know I changed. I’m not the same person I was back then. I ...

Let them know you care

Sometimes you need to hear it. That you’re doing fine and that everything is going to be okay. That you’re a good person, or that you made someone happy today. It feels good to be appreciated. You know you need this. We all do. If you think someone is doing something good, please let them know they’re worthy of your attention. We all have stories to be told, waiting for someone to sincerely listen. Let them know you care. #SpreadGoodVibes ♥️

لسه مش مستوعبة إنك بين يدي رب العالمين ولا مستوعبة الحِمل اللي كنت شايله .. بس عرفت مين بيحبك بجد ومين كان مستني موتك .. يا رب تكون أنت كمان حاسس وعارف بكل حاجة دلوقتي .. هحكيلك يوم ما ربنا يجمعنا من جديد، ويا رب تسمعني المرة دي .. #ألف_رحمة_ونور ♥️

نهى الصغيرة .. كبرت

Image
أبويا الله يرحمه كان فاكر إني ماعرفش حاجات كتير عنه .. كان دايماً شايفني نهى الصغيرة ..  مكانش بيحب يسمع سني بقى كام أو يحس إني كبرت .. وكنت بتضايق ساعتها وأسأل نفسي ليه بيستصغرني مع إنه شافني وأنا بكبر قدامه و خلف بعدي أخواتي ..   النهاردة بس فهمت ليه .. فهمت إنه كان بيشوف شبابه وذكرياته الحلوة فيا .. كان نفسه أفضل صغيرة على طول وماكبرش عشان يفتكر مسيرة كفاحه و نجاحاته .. كان بيتفائل بأصغر الأشياء زي إنه يسمى منتج على اسمي أو يستنى اجري عليه و أبوسه أول ما يرجع من الشغل كل يوم .. كنت فاكرة إنه أناني في حبه ليا .. طلعت أنا اللي أنانية! أنا اللي ماقدّرتش لهفته و فرحته بوجودي في حياته .. سامحني يابا إني ماقولتلكش إني بحبك وكنت بخاف عليك من نفسك .. ربنا يقدّرني وأنشر سيرتك الحلوة للناس كلها .. ربنا يغفر لي تقصيري وعدم تقديري لتعبك .. ربنا ينوّر قبرك ويرفع قدرك ..اللهم أمين #ألف_رحمة_ونور  ♥️
