“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.” ― James Baldwin
…and so I am busy with these for the next few days. insha’Allah.
What a beautiful quote, thank you so much. It spoke to me because it was in a book that I first read that my feelings and responses to a particular life event were normal when everyone around me was telling me differently. It was a confusing time. Thank God for books and the wisdom, revelation and comfort they carry.
As I read more I too find the same revelation – Everyone goes through a quarter life crisis and it is alright.
Thank you for stopping by ! 🙂
