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.

I have a big heart, and sometimes I hate it,


I have a big heart, anything
and sometimes I hate it, I overthink, apologize too much, forgive too easily,
worry too much
about people who
don't care about me,
I feel guilty
for things I
have no control over,
and I feel lonely
because I'm afraid
I won't find anyone who loves me
as deeply as I love.
