All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir

All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir is a powerful contemporary novel that explores the emotional weight of grief, trauma, and intergenerational pain through the lives of two Pakistani American teens, Salahudin and Noor. As they struggle with the fallout of addiction, abuse, and loss in their small desert town, the novel reveals how unspoken pain and cultural silence around mental illness can deepen wounds. Through their journeys, Tahir highlights the emotional cost of carrying trauma alone and the importance of compassion, therapy, and connection. The story gives voice to the rage, sorrow, and resilience of young people navigating mental health challenges in environments where seeking help often feels impossible.

What if your struggles are trying to grow you?

Everything in your life —

even the hard, messy parts —

is a tool for your transformation.

Use it.

Ask yourself:

“What is this teaching me?”

Growth often wears the disguise

of discomfort.

Try this:

Write down one thing you're finding difficult.

Then finish the sentence:

“This is helping me become…”

Let the lesson reveal itself.

Ever grown from something

you once thought might break you?

Share below.

You never know who needs your story.

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Over the past six months, I made progress in a way I didn’t realize that I would

So tonight, I finally made the decision to walk away from someone I once considered a close friend. They basically started an argument over my so-called “anxious communication style”—which honestly isn’t even an issue for me anymore—while acting like I had no right to call out the toxic things they’ve done. This is someone who has literally stolen my medication, crossed countless boundaries, and made everything about what I could give them—whether it was money, time, or emotional support—without giving anything real back.

For years, I kept trying to have adult conversations, to make things work, but it was always one-sided. Meanwhile, they’re out here doing drugs while working in a mental health facility, and I just kept letting it slide. But I’ve realized that if I want to grow, to heal, and to build a better life, I need to surround myself with people who respect me and bring out the best in me. So I let the friendship go they started to use my mental health challenges against me, and I was like I’m not gonna tolerate that this time and it felt good. #MentalHealth #Addiction #ADHD #AddictionRecovery #Neurodiversity #Addiction #Autism #Depression #ADHDInGirls #MightyTogether

I'm new here!

Hi I'm HollieWrites, I’m a wife, a new mother, and a survivor of abuse and addiction. After years in an abusive relationship abroad that led me down a path of cocaine use and trauma, I found healing through family, faith, and recovery. I’ve been sober for over two years, and I’m passionate about sharing my story to offer hope to others walking through the dark. I write about motherhood, mental health, sobriety, and the power of grace.

If you want to feel better mentally—start with your mornings.

Here are 3 quick mindset shifts you can practice each day that will transform your mood, your focus, and your relationships:

1️⃣ Remember how short life is.
Instead of focusing on what’s missing, think about the possibilities in front of you today.

2️⃣ Decide: Today will be good—no matter what.
You can’t control the world, but you can control how you respond to it.

3️⃣ Help others feel seen.
Instead of seeking attention, give connection. When you uplift others, you uplift yourself.

Which one will you try tomorrow morning? 🌅👇
