When you say Astaghfirullah. What really happens within you💖

You know how sometimes life feels heavy like there’s a quiet weight on your chest you can’t name. Maybe it’s regret, guilt, worry, or just that feeling of being distant from peace. Now imagine something so simple, just a few words, whispered sincerely that can slowly lift that weight. That’s what Astaghfar does:  What Astaghfar/Astaghfirullah really means: I seek forgiveness from Allah. When you say “Astaghfirullah”, you’re saying, “O Allah, I stumble and I forget, but I always find my way back to You. Forgive me and draw me near again.” It’s not just words it’s like returning home after being lost for a while. You’re opening your heart to the One who already knows everything about you, yet still welcomes you with mercy. Why saying It daily changes your life: If you make Astaghfar part of your routine, it starts transforming things slowly, quietly, but surely. Spiritually: It cleans your heart.

Within me are a hundred joys, a thousand sorrows, innumerable hopes and heartbreaks, and a small empty corner in which I hide from them all. ~Antonio Porchia

You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.  ~Alison McGhee, All Rivers Flow To The Sea.

I fall for raw conversation, those in which I know the person is not playing, not pretending to be someone they aren't. I fall for carefree, inadvertent smiles, those which aren't intended to impress another. I fall for what is real, I fall for souls, not the skin carrying it .

You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in. -Nick Hornby

I hope you know that you deserve it all.  The best, the most honest, the most beautiful  and purest love in the world. Not only to be  loved by others, but to be loved by yourself.  To look in the mirror and think "yes, I'm exactly  who I want to be". To speak up and be proud of  yourself. To be brave and open. You deserve the  nicest and most caring people to walk into  your  life. You deserve it all, you know. The whole world.  And you should never forget.

It's really comforting to know that all the times  I was at my lowest and loneliest in the past the  whole time i had my self in the future and present  who had survived those things looking back with  love and tenderness and wishing desperately to  offer comfort. I am my own guardian angel and I can use that knowledge when I'm struggling now and remember that somewhere there is a version of me that has survived this and is watching me with love and pride and joy in his heart.
