୨୧ dear diary #2: this is a reminder to build yourself from within first ୨୧

This is my second chapter of my journey towards self-improvement. In this chapter (and quite a few chapters thereafter), I will focus on how I can gradually change myself from within before I can demonstrate such matters through my actions. The ultimate goal I am striving for is to see a clear, positive evolution in my behavior and lifestyle. Only then can I truly become happy with myself and my…

i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.

You deserve to make room for yourself the same way you do for others.

⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹

Just like others, you are a person! If you are struggling to love yourself, consider how you treat yourself. Would you authentically love someone who talks to you the way you do? How can you expect to love yourself when you wouldn't even be friends with someone who treats others that way? It is an act of self-disrespect to ignore your own needs and desires.

I don't say this to make you feel ashamed of your self-talk, but rather to invoke a look outside for a change. We are always looking inside ourselves so often that we don't notice our simple worth as a person, a human, a being on the earth. Millions of people consider themselves the one exception.

You deserve to eat yummy foods like our friends do. You deserve to be treated with respect like our peers do. You deserve to feel the sun on your face the same way a flower does. You deserve to forgive yourself for things that you regret. You deserve more than "I'm used to it." You deserve to move your body the same way a dog deserves to be taken on a walk. You deserve to live a fulfilling life where your needs are met.

It's time to apologize to yourself. It's time to take accountability for all the ways you antagonized yourself. It's time to mend the relationship with your own body and your own mind. You don't have to keep fighting with yourself, you are allowed to repair things that have been broken. Offer yourself grace and kindness, just as you would for others. Forgive yourself by making it up to yourself.

Just because you’re always honest, don’t expect everyone to tell you the truth.

Just because you wish the best for others, don’t expect others to wish the same for you.

Just because you love and work for the sake of Allah, don’t expect everyone to have the same sincerity.

Just because you value friendship fisebilillah and go the extra mile, don’t expect others to be just as invested as you.

Just because you see goodness and hope in a future beautiful world according to Islamic standards, don’t expect others to share your dream.

Just because you want to be your absolute best, don’t expect others to have the same standard.

Remember that expectation leads to frustration and disappointments!

Keep going for the sake of Allah and let it be the fuel of your energy and not the people's negativity or lack of interest or guidance.

Remember that harder the conditions, higher the reward is from Allah. Remember that Allah reward for intentions too and He see and appreciate the efforts no matter whether they're appreciated and accepted or rejected and belittled by others.

Take care of your intentions, put on serious efforts and leave it in the hands of Allah. Leave it in the hands of Allah on all conditions... before, throughout the process and after it.
