When Dostoevsky said, "Pain changes you, but it teaches. That is its mercy." but Kafka said, "Pain changes nothing. It just repeats itself until you forget who you were before it started."

"Have you become cowards O Ahlus Sunnah? Do you become cowards O grandsons of Umar, Uthman and Ali? Have you become cowardly, O my brothers, to the meeting with Allah? Do you not love to meet the Hur Al Ayn? Do you not love Jannah? That has been prepared by Allah for you therein, that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human heart has ever perceived."

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

عرفت الهوى من عرفت هواك
I came to know love the moment I found Your love (O' Allah)
و أغلقت قلبي عمن عداك
And I have closed my heart from everyone except You (O' Allah)
