When things happen to us, we tend to replay them in our heads.
Over and over again.
We dissect every detail. We analyse every word. And somehow, we always find a way to blame ourselves for the situation.
Even when, if we look at it critically, it wasn’t entirely our fault…
we still carry the blame alone.The mind has a way of turning pain into self-accusation.
“What if I had said it differently?”
“I should have known better.”
“It’s my fault this happened.”
What often keeps us from healing is not just what happened to us , but the story we tell ourselves about it.
We begin to identify with the situation. We stop saying, “I made a mistake,” and start saying, “I am a failure.”
And that shift is dangerous.
You don’t have to keep punishing yourself. You made the best decision you could with the knowledge, emotional capacity, and awareness you had at that moment. You responded from the version of you that existed then.
Ramadan is a reminder that Allah allows renewal. If He allows you to grow beyond yesterday, why are you chaining yourself to it?
