“I just needed her so much and it never felt like enough and she wasn’t consistent and her inconsistency and my insecurity were this horrible match for each other, but I still loved her, because all of me was wrapped up in her.”

Now that I’m home and have calmed down
a bita lot (and am not telling everyone to go fuck themselves) I can actually write about the “life lessons” that have been thrown at me in the past 7 hours.
- Some teachers are bitches, but they all have hearts if you dig deep enough. And by dig deep I mean argue with them about the serious problems you are having in your life. They will help you. Hopefully.
- don’t talk to people from your past that you never really liked. especially about their relationship problems with someone you’ve had feelings for because it will ruin your whole day.
- cheating is never ever EVER justifiable. it’s forgivable, forgettable, of course but don’t ever try to justify cheating no matter what because that makes you the biggest asshole
- Depression is not an excuse for you to act like a complete bitch. I know, I wish it was too and it doesn’t stop me from being that way either but no one is going to help you or support you if you’re not giving that support back. if you want help you have to give it.
- that being said, don’t expect everyone YOU help to give you help back because you will only be disappointed. you should help someone because you are a kind person, not because you need help too or for other motives. It’s not give or take. it’s mostly give with sometimes take.
- i know that those last two bullets completely contradict each other. but i guess what i’m trying to say is pick who you want to help carefully.
- or rather, don’t expect anything from anyone at all, including yourself. you WILL be disappointed. There are so many things i said i would never ever do in my entire life that i did in just one year. don’t do that. you’ll feel ashamed of yourself.
- it’s fun to figure out other peoples problems before your own
- just kidding, don’t do that. your problems will always have to come first if you want to be happy.
- If you’re having trouble in school and are missing assignments that you know you will never finish, don’t drag those problems out forever because you will only feel bad about yourself for not doing them. figure out a plan to get things done as quickly as possible so you can move forward.
the last one.
Well said, Senna.
- Imam Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib said: “The best of you at every time is one who whenever he sins, he repents. “
- It was said: “What if he sins again?”
- He said: “He should ask for forgiveness and repent.”
- It was said: “What if he sins again?”
- He said: “He should ask for forgiveness and repent.”
- It was said: “What if he sins again?”
- He said: “He should ask for forgiveness and repent.”
- It was said: “For how long?”
- He said: “Until Iblīs is defeated.”
“Sit with those who constantly repent, for they have the softest hearts.”
—Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (via imaan-daar)
