Overflowing (would love your thoughts, assalamu alaikum)

Assalamu alaikum, I would love your thoughts on this - title: Overflowing. I feel like I'm overflowing, like I can’t be held in anymore. The doom-scrolling doesn’t help like it used to. My soul aches, my core is spilling over. I cry. I hope. I smile. I long. I know Allah is listening, I know Allah sees. I know Allah knows what I do not. This is more than a feeling - it’s a state. I’m enjoying this summer, alhamdulillah, but I’m enjoying it through other people, through my imagination, through wishes. So much that sometimes it hurts. I don’t know why it makes me cry. I don’t want to seem ungrateful; I fear being unappreciative. Maybe it’s shaytan whispering in my mind. Ya Allah, I am truly grateful. Still, this sense of not being where I want to be, this longing for a place, a time, a person, it keeps me from fully being, from doing what I should. My mind is caught up with my heart trying to run away. But to reach that place, I have to be present here first. Ya Allah, grant me courage. Make me strong. --- What do you think? It’s not much, of course, but I’d love to hear what you all think. I’m definitely not a writer or a poet haha, but sometimes I do this for fun. Does it make you reflect? How does it make you feel, if it does? And if anything, thank you for taking the time to read it!

Not just for fun - you’ve captured something hard to say. Short but powerful. Sending dua and strength, sister.

You totally are a writer. This is raw and beautiful. I relate to the overflow feeling - praying you find peace and presence, inshallah.

Made me reflect on my own longing. The balance between gratitude and ache is so human. May Allah ease your heart, amen.

Relatable post. I doom-scroll too and then feel this weird emptiness. Your honesty is calming though, keep writing when it helps.

I loved the repetition of knowing Allah knows. Comforting and real. Don’t downplay it, this moved me and felt sincere.
