“If you have feelings for someone, let them know. It doesn’t matter if they can be in your life or not. Maybe, it is just enough for both of you to release the truth, so healing can occur. The opposite is true, as well. If you don’t have feelings for someone then never let another person suggest that you do. Protect your reputation and be responsible for the wrong information spread about you. Never allow anyone to live with a false belief or unfounded hope about you. An honorable person sets the record straight, so that person can move on with their life.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they become the worse type of person. Unfortunately, they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They don’t want to hurt other people. It is against their very nature. They want to make amends and undo the wrong they did. Their life is a wave of highs and lows. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing, and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“و الله ما طلعت شمس و لا غربت
إلا و حبك مقرون بأنفاسي

و لا جلست إلى قوم أحدثهم
إلا و أنت حديثي بين جلاسي

و لا ذكرتك محزونا ولا فرحا
إلا و أنت بقلبي بين وسواسي

و لا هممت بشرب الماء من عطش
إلا رأيت خيالا منك في الكاسِ

و لو قدرت على الإتيان جئتكم
سعيا على الوجه أو مشيا على الراسِ

و يا فتى الحي إن غنيت لي طربا
فغنني واسفا من قلبك القاسي

ما لي و للناس كم يلحونني سفها
ديني لنفسي و دين الناس للناسِ”
― الحلاج

“اذا هجرتَ فمـن لـي ومـن يجمّل كـلّي
ومـن لروحي وراحي يا أكثـري وأقـلّي
أَحَبَّـكَ البعض مـنـّي فقد ذهبت بكـــلّي
يا كـلّ كـلّي فكـنْ لي إنْ لم تكن لي فمن لي
يا كـل كـلّي و أهـلي عنـد انقطاعي وذلّي
ما لي سوى الروح خذها والـروح جهد المقلّ ِ”
― الحلاج, الحلاج: الأعمال الكاملة
