Plant goodness

After what feels like another lesson I’m sat here journaling and thinking about the bigger things. 

I’ve come to realise that despite the numerous battles I face and overcome, I choose to greet the world with a smile. 
To most, I appear resilient and untroubled, my struggles hidden behind a smile and warm greeting. 

Only those who are loved and close to me see the truth, for it is in their presence that I allow my vulnerabilities to surface and here we hold space for each other 

My strength is not my own; it comes from turning to Allah, sharing my tears and sorrows with Him. In those private moments of salah, I find solace and renewal. 

How I respond to life’s challenges defines my power, a power rooted in faith and the present moment. 

As the Quran reminds us, “No one will reap except what they sow” (6:164). I strive to sow kindness, patience, and resilience, trusting that Allah sees my heart and my efforts, guiding me through every trial
