They say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.

My Nafs screams out for what it desires. But my will to be free screams louder.

We will be asked, "what did you love most in this world? What did you spend life doing? What did you run after? Will it last? The things that you chased, will they last? Will they help you, or will they hurt you when the illusion of this life has passed?"

If you want to focus more on Allah in your prayers, focus more on Him outside your prayers.

Don't get attached to moments. Good or bad, they all pass.

Everything is as it should be. God's design is perfect.

Stop trying to make this life into what it cannot and never was intended to be: jennah. Only then will it stop breaking your heart.
