Don’t ask Allah for happiness. Ask Allah for peace. You can’t find happiness during sadness but surely, you could be peaceful in the saddest of moments, darkest of places and wildest of storms.
There’s a new girl in my kindergarten class who’s autistic and it’s like she’s barely / not really verbal but like idk she opened up to me a little, I don’t tell people I’m on the spectrum at work because they already treat me horribly because I’m the only poc there but like she’s a little Latina girl who I know exactly how she feels and like I was like “hey Nina, If you don’t wanna talk it’s okay, just thumbs up or thumbs down if you understand the (math) problem? Okay?” So we sorta made like a thumbs up and thumbs down thing between us and today it was the most surreal thing because I like “I know they tell you to make eye contact but I’m gonna tell you a trick, look at their neck, chin, hair, and whatever is behind them, I don’t like eye contact very much either? Thumbs up?” And she said with the smallest voice “Thankyou , for not saying I’m dumb” I wanna be the person I needed when I was her age
Lately, I’ve found myself awake at 2 am a lot and can’t seem to sleep. I actually found that playing with my phone sometimes helps calm me and helps me get to sleep. Anybody else feel this too?? Anyway, these are the sites I’ve been using:
Commaful: i’d stay away from the horror stories at night, but the humor, romance, fanfic, and poetry sections make really nice late night reads
Wikipedia: if i’m going to be sleep deprived, might as well learn something. surprisingly entertaining
Headspace: meditation app/site i use to calm down and practice breathing
Math homework: cuz i can never stay awake doing math
FML: because it’s nice knowing that other people have more fucked up lives than me
The Onion: don’t try to cut it or you might cry. jk. it’s just amazing satire
lamebook: dumb stuff from Facebook. surprisingly funny
Free Rice: makes me feel like I’m changing the world, one grain at a time
What sites do you use when you can’t sleep at night? Sadly have had a lot of these nights so looking for more
lol commaful and lamebook are the reasons why i don’t sleep. honestly the best way to sleep is to just put your phone away
