i still love the scent of rain

from that moment, nothing is, and will ever be, the same.

the hardest decision is almost always the right one. the most hurt you’ll feel is the one you think you’re inflicting on those closest to you. when times are difficult, it becomes clearer who you trust… and who your friends are. the path to forgiveness is worth every obstacle. the love you’ve always known will prove itself in times when you most need it. in your darkest hour, you have to pull yourself out from being sucked into the abyss… and tell yourself, always tell yourself, to ask God for strength and patience to go through it, because it will end, and the struggle will be worth it. every hardship is a test, every joy a blessing, every mistake a lesson.

ask me about it, this time, next year and, insya Allaah, you’ll be talking to a much stronger woman than i am now.
