“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.”
— Andrew Carnegie
Admit to yourself that you want things.
Admit to yourself that you're hungry and then don't settle for less than your fill of life.

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

A reminder for my ladies: EVERYTHING TAKES TIME. YEARS. So start right now with the little that you have and stay consistent. Drink a glass of water instead of soda this time. Do one workout. Take a walk. Take up a class. Read a book. Start the treatment. Learn that language. And try that EVERY SINGLE DAY. A little bit every day, but I tell you something, you will see the results in YEARS. Yes, you will get that degree AFTER A FEW YEARS. Yes, your hair will grow long, AFTER A FEW YEARS. Yes, you will be in shape, you will become who you want, you will heal, you will speak that language fluently AFTER A FEW YEARS.
Just keep doing what you're doing and don't give up. Ok? Ok. Love you, bye bye 💌
Every season is exam season when you have an exam a week!

Just because they’re nice to you, doesn’t mean they value you. When you value something, you deeply understand it’s worth. It’s precious and means the world to you. If someone values something, they take good care of it. They’ll check up on it, make sure it’s needs are met and keep it safe.
Sometimes it's hard to move away from pain because it just gets familiar and "comfortable" despite how much it hurts us. And it may also be the only thing that connects us to what brought us pain in the first place (especially if it's a connection/loss). In our subconscious mind, the idea of healing may feel scary: what will be of me without this pain? What will I do? It's true that maybe our pain and "secure/known" current situation helps us think we are safe as per how things are, and we are also saving ourself from the chance of getting hurt in other ways, but is it really worth the amount of mental and physical hurt it brings to our present and future self? I hope you find ways to bring yourself compassion and find the strength to move on from that, even if it feels scary to leave a "comfort zone" for a totally unknown one. You'll find a new way to balance yourself in it and find a new safety in it too, I promise. It won't be bad. You deserve to feel good and at peace. And to heal.
It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

الغراميل في العلا، تتبع إداريًا لمنطقة المدينة المنورة، شمال غرب المملكة العربية السعودية.
تعد الغراميل من التضاريس الملهمة في محافظة العلا فهي تكوينات صخرية ذات أشكال متفاوتة نحتتها الرياح على مر الأزمان لتصبح أيقونة فريدة في مشهد صحراوي ساحر.
منظر الغراميل لأول وهلة يبهر الأنفاس وكأنك في مكان آخر غير كوكب الأرض. فتتساءل: هل هي هضاب خيالية، أم جبال منحوتة، أم جذوع نخل من صخر؟! إنك في مشهد خيالي في وسط الصحراء. تقع الغراميل في شمال غرب المملكة العربية السعودية، في محافظة العلا باتجاه منطقة تبوك. إنها رحلة للبحث والاكتشاف.
جبال الغراميل، أو غراميل العلا تعد مكانًا مستهدفًا للمغامرين ومحبي التصوير ليلاً إذ يتكون مشهد باهر وساحر بين الغراميل والمجرات والعناقيد النجمية، وهذا لا يتأتى إلا مع مكان نقي ومظلم فتنعكس المجرات على كائنات غرائبية كالغراميل.
في ليالي الصيف ومع بداية الشهر الهجري ينطلق المغامرون والمحترفون والهواة إلى الغراميل لعلهم يفوزون بالتقاط صورة باهرة من مشهد خيالي وكأنها من كوكب آخر.. بينما هي غراميل العلا.

Re-parenting yourself is like: I will hold you because no one ever did. I will show you tenderness because all you ever knew was hardship. I will protect you when everyone else left you to fend for yourself. I know it’s not fair what happened to you. But I am here for you now.
