You never have to be scared of the trials but of standing alone in the trials without shelter (Allah's help).

To empty the heart does not mean to not love. On the contrary, true love, as God intented it, is purest when it is not based on a false attachment. The process of first emptying the heart can be found in the beginning half of the shahada (declaration of faith).

Keep praying, even if you have only a whisper left.

The sin of Kibr (arrogance) is actually worse than many of the sins that we would be advising [other] people about.

Stop hating on yourself for not being perfect. If God wanted perfection, He would have made you an angel.

How could you feel worthless when God has honoured you by creating you and choosing you to be with Him, in this life and the next? You are worthy. You are worthy of love. You are worthy of respect. You haven't failed. You're beautiful. Only the beautiful can see beauty. Never doubt your beauty. Never doubt your worth. It's not about how much you make, your grades, what people say or think. It's about you and God. It's about your heart. The blinding beauty of your heart.

Don’t despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes that’s how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.
