I don't know who needs to hear this out but; please, please don't give up on your deen. It doesn't matter how many sins you have done or for how long, just come back. Start again, try again, pray again, cry, yearn, JUST DON'T GIVE UP.

Zainab Cobbold (Lady Evelyn Murray) was a Scottish Muslim diarist, traveller and noblewoman who was known for her conversion to Islam in the Victorian era.
Cobbold spent much of her childhood in Algiers and Cairo in the company of Muslim nannies. She considered herself a Muslim from a young age despite not officially professing her faith until later.
โ excerpt from Pilgrimage to Mecca by Zainab 'Evelyn' Cobbold
Her story is interesting because it provides a peek into the lives of Victorian-era Muslims of Britian, such as herself and other historic pioneers such as Abdullah Quillam, Lord Headley and Marmaduke Pickthall, among others.
Quran 59:19 โก
And be not like those who forgot Allฤh, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.

โBear patiently, my heart โ for you have suffered heavier things.โ
- Homer, Odyssey
They used to comfort each other upon facing calamities by saying : โIt is but a few days and Jannah is the promise โฆโ
