Heart Desires
A post about the daily struggle of someone trying to hold on to his values no matter what.
This is a post about the daily struggle of someone trying to hold on to his values no matter what.
Fear nothing but fear itself
Live on nothing but hope itself
Cry for nothing but loosing yourself
Enjoy nothing but improving yourself
Hate nothing but destroying yourself

I curse my heart for its unending desires.
I’m a solider, waking up everyday to fight a war. A war that unfolds inside of me where the two sides are parts of me. A war of me going against my heart desires.
Somedays I win the battle, and live to fight another day. Other days, I survive barely and acquire new wounds that I carry with me as a reminder of the consequences of losing to my desires.
Eventually, this war will end one day. Either my heart stops beating, or I fall into the abyss of desires. A vicious cycle of guilt and pleasure that drives the toughest of men insane. Until that day comes, I curse my heart desires.
How to hold on
- Never stay up late / Wake up as early as possible
- Take cold showers
- Fasting
- Sports
- Prayer and Dua'a
- Listening and Reciting Quran
- Reduce and avoid sins
- Donate to charity
