what you don't know won't hurt you?

Is it true that people say, what you don’t know won’t hurt you?

To some extent, I think it’s true. That’s probably why I don’t ask questions because the truth hurts and sucks the life and energy out of you. But sometimes, knowing the truth is just what you need. It is in the truth that you see where you stand and in the truth is where you find answers that you’ve always been searching for.

I don’t know what it is that’s making me write this. But actually, I know. I just don’t want to tell. You might curse me for bringing it up when I never had the intention to disclose anything to begin with. I know you probably don’t understand what the hell I’m ranting about, but... I’ve just gone through something traumatic, I don’t know how I’m even going to start.

So, to make things simpler, I won’t start to tell at all.

Suffice to say... what you don't know won’t hurt you... so true... but if the truth is something you actually want to know and you discover it at a stage where everything is irreparable, then... the truth will hurt even more. If you get to know the truth at an early stage where you can mend fences and fix hearts, then, know the truth. What you know will hurt you, and the pain is better than not knowing. Not making sense? I know.

I know I’m just rambling. But ignore and leave if you don’t like it.

Will update later.

Dedicated to You

To the girl who practices patience in her everyday life,

To the girl who controls her temper, and guards her words,

To the girl who gives out sincere smile to strangers,

To the girl who brightens another person's life with her loving nature,

To the girl who has taken the wonderful step to cover herself in hijab,

To the girl who prays she will be given the strength to start donning the hijab,

To the girl who supports her friends for donning the hijab,

To any girl who wakes up wanting to be a better person today, than she was yesterday

And to anyone who does even an atom of goodness with a sincere heart,

To each and everyone of you,

Just remember:

In Jannah are things:

An eye has never seen,

An ear has never heard, 

A mind can’t even imagine.

(Hadith Sahih Bukhari)

A mind can't even imagine, MasyaAllah. Those beautiful mansions we wish were ours, the perfect fairytale wedding that we have dreamed of since we were small, the handbag(s) we drooled over - nothing compares to the ultimate reward of Jannah. I hope these short lines will inspire you to do good as it did me :)

Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may cheat you;
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough;
Give your best anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
