"No amount of guilt can change the past, no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by God’s decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee."
― -Omar ibn Al-Khattab

‘i always wanted to be pretty. i wanted to look like the girl they called the town tramp. she wore tight clothes, too much make-up and had big yellow hair. i thought she was the prettiest thing i’d ever seen. people would say “oh, she’s just trash’, and i’d reply, “well, that’s what i’m going to be when i grow up. trash”’.
