Not a robot

Strive to do good and do awesome...
But don't try to be "perfect"
As long as you have unrealistic expectations of yourself and others,
You'll never be fully happy, satisfied or content.

I prefer to be organic..not a robot.

A.S.

Paralyzed

The moment you realize..
That you no longer have anyone to confide in..

When you realize all your aches and pains must be held in to yourself..
Just to keep everyone happy.

That someone you always turned to, always turns on you.
That no matter how hard you try, its not ever enough.

The moment you realize Allah is your only true friend...

I've never felt more paralyzed, more human than I do now.
This dunya.



A.S.

Your best.

What to do when your good isn't good enough?

You can only do your best.

Allahu Alim. <3 p="">


A.S.

A matter of choice

Words can either poison or remedy a moment.
Just as our actions can either create a negative or positive ripple.

Spread them ripples... 

Of what sort? 

That's our choice.

A.S.

Plunge deep

Smiling through it all.
Whether stumbling or fallin'.
Or walking through sunshine..
Picking myself back up.
Clinging to a hope.
Not simply following my feet.
But relying on these bare hands.
This bare soul..
My heart may be on my sleeve
But my deepest of thoughts is within' my soul of souls..
Secret chambers of light..
There is no lock..
You must lose all fear of this ocean.

Plunge deep.



A.S.

Makes us human

Why must my tears
Bring you to your defenses?
Take your armor off..

Let your heart listen to mine.

Is that so hard to do?
Everyone needs to be understood.
Everyone needs a warm hug..

Show me love, show me tenderness.
Show me empathy.

Show me that breaking down isn't the only thing that makes us human.



A.S.

Bridges

No matter what it is you feel the need to say,

Convey it with love.

Differences and misunderstandings are bound to happen,

But we have control in steering in either a space of respect, compassion and humbleness..

Or the complete opposite.

We all should know what that is..

Anger untamed and thoughts unmanaged..

Its a screaming ego gone viral.

Breathe.

Slow down..

Think..and think some more.

Silence is a virtue.

Let the ears of your heart truly listen.

Look to understanding there's more to learn.

Remember who you're dealing with and act accordingly..

Build bridges.

Don't.... Tear.Them.Down.
