hello and Assalamualaikum 🌷

it's been a while, my dudessss hahaha ok well, not really.
anyways, today I will be writing about being 'heartless' and my thoughts about it.

like I said in my instagram story, once people are fed up with being hurt, they will declare that they want to be 'heartless.'
but what does that mean anyway?
well, from what I understand, it means not caring about other people in order to prevent your heart from being hurt again.

you're hurt; because the words those people said cut you down so much.
you're hurt; because you cared so much but they're just shutting you out.

so what are my thoughts about this?

there are two possible situations in 'not caring about other people' here:
if you, not caring about what others think, means that you won't let any negativity or mean words from people stop you from your healing and your growth, then that is perfectly fine. it helps to shield them away from yourself and if you know, that whatever you're doing won't hurt others and is right then, that's fine to me. you're being 'heartless' in that situation.

but if you literally do not care about others, doing or saying whatever you want and it will hurt or affect them, for example, being a so-called savage etc, then what good does that do? harming others in order to protect yourself? it's childish and immatured. let's say people start criticizing you for what you're doing or say, and you lash back at them, then the situation will just get worse.

personally I think, you have to be in between.
being 'heartless' in situations where people are bringing you down for doing what you think is okay and generally right but at the same time, not harming others just for your own good. be true to yourself.

what do I think about people who are 'heartless' because they want to protect themselves?

like I said just now,
it's fine if they're not harming others.
we all have to protect ourselves. I understand.
I hope if they are hurting others in a way, I hope they will realize what they're doing. I pray that they will come to their senses and stop doing so. because how can you grow like that? how are you able to heal by hurting others?

we all have a point in life where people will keep bringing us down but it doesn't mean that we have to bring others down too. we'll be just the same as them so what's the point? being kind to others could also help us with our process in healing.

with His guidance, I hope we will all heal in our own pace,
slowly but surely. InsyaAllah 😊
