quote from Pan’s Flute ⚜︎

Not that mainstream media would make a note of this, but Iran has said multiple times that it’s wishing de-escalate. Israel launched a drone attack against Iran a few days ago, but Iran shot it down without retaliation. It even actively played it down so that it didn’t have to retaliate, so that the confrontation could end where it did. It’s Israel that’s continuously attacking Iran and its allies. It’s Israel that’s trying to escalate this. It’s literally them.

maybe this is what it means to be alive.

picking yourself on those days you feel like you will not make it to the next moment, finding meaning in the smallest things possible, not betraying yourself, dealing with everything with the hope of it all. maybe this is what it means to be alive… watching the sun go down, getting out of your bed to feel the cold floor in the morning, feeling the blood rush through your veins, the sensation of your heart beating inside your chest. winds of change carrying it all away.

Lower your gaze, not just from the opposite sex but also from the faults of others. Lower your gaze from that which does not concern you, from that which people want hidden,& from that which makes you angry

Lower your gaze from things that trigger your jealousy.

"I ask Allah to make me a better woman. A better woman than the one I was yesterday. It takes time to become who you really want to be and as Muslims we can only strive to be better, so I ask Allah to help all my brothers and sisters, to help them become the best versions of themselves. I ask Allah to ease any hardships you may face, I ask Him to ease your struggles. I've witnessed before the way the words of Allah change the hearts of people, the way He purifies their souls. I pray this month, for Allah to guide me down the right path, I pray I'm able to appreciate His blessings and learn the true beauty of forgiveness. I pray to be a better woman and I know that it is only me that has to take the steps to become one."
