We replay the past in our minds. We wonder what could have been, what should have happened, what might have changed if we had just done things differently.
The “what ifs” creep in, making us question our choices, regret missed opportunities, and hold onto a version of life that no longer exists.
But no amount of overthinking will change the past. The doors that closed were never meant to stay open. The people who left were never meant to walk the full journey with you. The opportunities that passed were never written in your story to begin with.
You are not living Plan B. You are exactly where Allah (SWT) decreed for you to be. His plan for you has never been fragile. It has never depended on you making all the right moves. What is meant for you will always find its way, and what isn’t meant for you will never be yours, no matter how much you strive for it.
The weight of regret is heavy, but you don’t have to carry it. You did what you could with the wisdom and strength you had at the time. That was enough. Allah does not ask you to control the past, He asks you to trust Him with the future.
Take a deep breath. And release it.
Release the regrets.
Release the guilt.
Release the need to rewrite a story that has already been perfectly written for you.
What’s ahead is still unfolding. And He holds the pen.
Love Always
Your Tranquility Partner ❣️
