Does a rose stop being a rose when it is no longer admired?

Does a rose stop being a rose when it is no longer admired? No, it remains a red rose. Does a rose stop being a rose when someone says they prefer lilies? No, it remains a rose. Does a rose stop being a rose when someone calls it by another name? No, it remains a rose. Likewise, your worth isn't based on the objective truth of who you are. That is, your worth is determined by how Allah sees you, not by anyone else.

The year of letting go...2̶0̶2̶2̶. 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯✨️



The year of letting go, of understanding loss, grace of the word 'no' and also being able to say 'you are not kind'. The year of humanity/humility, when the whole world couldn't get out of bed. Everyone I've met this year, says the same thing 'you are so easy to be around', how do you do that?' the year I broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands. The year I learnt small talk and how to smile at strangers, the year I understood that I am my best when I reach out, the year of sugar, everywhere softness, sweetness. honey. 
The year of being alone, and learning how much I like it, the year of hugging people I don't know, because I want to know them, the year I made peace and love, right here.

I hope you learn to prioritize the people who
bring you peace. The people who mirror the
same length of love as you give others. The
people who stand by your side - not in every
moment but rather in the moments that matter
the most. The people who matter the most. The
people who have the capacity to understand
the very depths of your soul. I hope you learn to prioritize the people who choose you..

Never regret the kindness you showed somebody who didn't deserve it. They did you wrong, you did them right and for that, you should be proud.

Never allow anyone or anything to alter your self-worth. Never allow any insult to bother you or shake you. Never allow any frustration or humiliation or attack to change how you value yourself.
~Charis Ed

•Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage.
