Filling the Emptiness

Image
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم Sometimes we are caught in a state of emptiness. There's this hole we feel, like we're missing something, and we will find whatever we can to fill it and so we can feel whole once again. Some of us try to fill that hole by eating. We'll eat, and eat and eat haha. We'll even eat beyond our capacity, anything just so we will no longer have the emptiness lingering. And yes, we know. We're going to see the weight sooner or later. But that's okay. Some of us also try to fill that emptiness by seeking validation from others. We want to know that we are prized. Or atleast liked. We want to know that others people find us attractive. So we'll post countless selfies on Instagram, or any other social media platform. We want to feel like we are admired, like there is something we have and others want it. And when we know others want what we have, then the feeling of emptiness is partially covered up. Artificially of course. Th

Expectations

Image
Its crazy how sometimes we look to others to make us feel happy. We expect them to cheer us up when were down, to bring flowers when were sick, to just stop by every once to say hello. In the essence of it all, we have unrealistic expectations. You can find this in family relationships, among friends, besties, any kind of relationship, you name it. And this unrealistic expectation can ruin things. You could have an amazing relationship with someone. But then that moment comes when you expected them to be there for you. You thought theyd show up, to visit you when you were were sick, to have your back when you were in trouble, to just say hey and greet you randomly when you were lonely. You expected. They never came through. And now you feel hurt. But honestly. Who should you be more upset with? Yourself for expecting too much, or upset with them..?  Its not really fair to be upset with anyone but yourself really. Because you were the one who somehow thought that the world ki

Honesty

Emotional vulnerability is what you need in any good relationship with your family and friends and everything else. The layers have to come down. Honesty has to be there, open communication, open mindedness in fact. A healthy relationship is where you can openly speak your mind with out fear of critism or disapproval. We keep ALOT of things to ourselves, even those things tht need to be mentioned sometimes. Why? We are afraid of what the other person will say. What they will think. If they will no longer love or respect us anymore. So we don't say jack. But those unspoken things eventually find their way out eventually. They build up gradually leading up to a full blown heated argument that barely ever ends nice. Because you just couldn't keep it all in anymore. And that's kinda natural. We weren't meant to harbor these kinds of things within us. The thing that us humans have that's made us so specialized is our ability to communicate by speech and gesture t

She's beautiful...

The beauty of a woman is beyond her physical appearance. Her value is not dependant on her looks. Her value does not depend on the acceptance and validation of other people. She is more than the gorgeous eyes you see, more than the lovely smile you catch, more than the clothes she wears, more than the perfume you smell as she walks by. You can tell her she’s beautiful, she’s gorgeous, she’s stunning. She might smile, but deep down, she may feel….unsatisfied. That of all of her qualities, you only noticed what appeared to on the surface.. But what about her character, her personality, they way she carries herself. Her. Doesn’t that matter too? What about what makes her different from the rest, her emaan? Her faith? A woman is a valuable creature. Now and forever. It is from her that generations will come about. It is from her that man enters into the world. She’s the school, the playground, the hospital, everything that a child would need to fully grow into a healthy hu
