An act of love can do beyond what you think it can. When the people we love are in a dark place, reminding them you love them and being patient is one of the most supportive things you can do. Another thing to remember is to practise self love. It can become stressful when waiting for someone to come out of their dark place. Remember to talk about things if you need to with others (people you trust) and get enough sleep, nutrition and do the things that help you connect with your safe place. Your loved one will come back soon As lovers and lovees, you are strong, amazing people. You bring light into one another's lives. Remember to remind each other that they do xxx . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #igers #instagood #instadaily #bookish #bibliophile #bookstagram #robot #writerscommunity #comic #l4l #girl #life #happy #love #artistsofinstagram #beautiful #art #colour #cute #picoftheday #Illustrator #hijabi #catsofinstagram #colourful #London #travel #doodle #journaling #neuroscience
I always fall for it. Every. Single. Time. A little light-hearted post to break the awkward 2-week-long stereo silence :3 Hope you've all enjoyed your Easter holidays! What did y'all get up to? . . . . . . . . . . #igers #instagood #instadaily #bookish #bibliophile #bookstagram #quoteoftheday #writerscommunity #comic #l4l #girl #life #happy #love #beautiful #artist #colour #cute #picoftheday #Illustrator #hijabi #art #catsofinstagram #colourful #London #travel #doodle #cat #journaling #neuro
Patient is probably one of the most difficult things to be. So much so that when it comes to being patient with yourself, you're not always willing to give yourself the time you need to do things, relax, and refresh. As I get older, I realise more and more of my flaws - the things I need to work on and the time I will need to take to master new skills. And I realise the little time I have to do things, to hand in work, or to just step back and relax. It's exhausting, both physically and mentally, to be overworking yourself or under appreciating your own efforts. Sometimes it feels like life is getting ahead of us; our friends are married with kids, our colleagues are getting promotions, our childhood neighbours are moving away to bigger, better places... but what we don't realise is that 1) we're also changing and growing and learning and 2) it all takes time. You've come a long way from who you were last year, month, and week. You're doing the thing and you're doing it well. And when the things you do don't go so well, you get up, identify the problem, change something and try again. So remember this: give yourself the breaks you need and surround yourself with the people who want what's best for you. Be in an environment that encourages growth, not stunting. And let yourself be happy; give yourself the space to be so. It's all going to take time, but it's all going to be worth it. ❤ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #igers #instagood #instadaily #bookish #bibliophile #bookstagram #quoteoftheday #writerscommunity #loveucl #l4l #girl #life #happy #love #beautiful #artist #colour #cute #picoftheday #Illustrator #hijabi #art #catsofinstagram #colourful #London #travel #doodle #cat #journaling #neuro
Life has a way of sometimes making us believe that we're not good enough to tackle the roads ahead. That the things we've been through and come out the other side, somewhat unscathed, are nothing in comparison to the things we're yet to see. We trick ourselves into believing that the challenges we face will be too difficult to make it through; that giving up before we've even tried will be better for us in the long run... But it isn't always. Sure, the things ahead look difficult, but nothing worthwhile has ever come out of an easy ride. We risk ourselves in the way of gain, good gains and losses too. But we always come out stronger. A little bruised, but tougher too. I made this piece because my mum did her job of being a mum alone. She took a challenge like me on and she didn't rest until she felt her job was done. Today, on mother's day, and on any other day of the year, take those strong souls around you as proof that, yes, things are definitely going to be tough, but, m'dear, you're most definitely tougher. Happy Mother's Day :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #igers #instagood #instadaily #bookish #bibliophile #bookstagram #science #writerscommunity #loveucl #l4l #girl #life #happy #love #beautiful #artist #colour #cute #picoftheday #Illustrator #hijabi #art #catsofinstagram #colourful #London #travel #doodle #mothersday #journaling #neuro
