The world is certainly a far more mystical place than what the eyes perceive.

But that mysticism isn't for us. 

For we have been warned against turning to it. 

There is a single source, a single supreme being to turn to. 

And no partners in association. 

And he may give a portion of power to man or jinn, but ultimately all power belongs to him. 

We have a choice, to choose to turn to him, or fall into temptation 

and turn to those that rebel against him. 

Stay clear from the grey area. Its darker than it seems. 

Quiet presence

Embrace your shy demeanour

The way you touch hearts

with soft words of reassurance.

Feel not the need to shout, to be heard.

For those who wish to listen, pause. 

In your shyness lies elegance,

self-assurance,

dignity. 

There is nothing but wonder

in the one who's quiet presence

for one reason or another,

simply cannot be ignored. 

The first step to asserting ones needs is acknowledgement and awareness of them. All of them.
Whether that be the primitive, the carnal or the emotional.

High value

1) Know your core values. Don't ever compromise them.

2) Pay attention to your feelings. Its not necessary to react immediately, but allow yourself time to take them in and act accordingly, working in your best interest in the process.

3) You are in no need of validation or attention from others. You exist peacefully as you are, good people merely add to an already contented life. They are not the source of contentment. That is in you.

4) Mind, body, soul. Work towards nourishing and connecting all three in order to attain balance and contentment. Take care of your mind by feeding it positive thoughts, affirmations and setting realistic long term and short term goals. Nourish the body by feeding it that which it needs. And nourish the soul through self awareness, seeking meaning, minimising negativity and using the heart as a guide.

5) Self improvement: keep building and working on yourself and find ways to utilise the skills and talents you may have. Find your self worth in the way that you are, not the way that you look.

6) Know your worth and only keep those who recognise it within your close circle.

7) Have high standards for the quality of love and friendship which you give and receive. It will make your life more beautiful.

Signs you've found the one

1) You feel at complete ease in their presence

2) You find a sense of peace in them

3) Familiarity 

4) There is mutual respect, appreciation and awe

5) You see their 'flaws' yet they don't bother you

6) You want to give

7) You trust them

8) You want to be close to them

9) You love yourself more

10) You feel safe around them

11) You feel supported and protective

To the ones I love. My inner circle. 

You have my all. No problem is too big or too small for me to sit and work it though with you. No dream is unrealistic and know that when I say I believe in you, I mean it. When I say I see a beautiful future for you, I have full faith in it. If you cannot see it, I will, and show you.

I see you. I see your flaws, yet I find beauty in places you hadn’t looked. I accept you. Just as you are and will remind you why you should perhaps love yourself a little more. I will give, every time I find you in need. What I have to offer is love. Safety. Comfort.. A home.  

All I ask is the same in return.

The same love. The same commitment. The same generosity. Because I have seen too many women lose themselves, to those who take. And I cannot allow myself to be a fool. 

Because she who gives is in need of another who can too. 

It is in these very moments where I usually mess up.
Do I acknowledge these feelings of attachment and allow myself to be vulnerable?.
Or do i reject them due to fear of abandonment and create an emotional distance? Turning cold to hide the fact that i care?

I choose the former. No good comes from the latter.
