  Bismillaaah     Ive been inspired lately by a close friend. And she really encouraged me. She write to me,   " Wen I m down, u lift me up"     And I think this is my inspiration for tonights piece of writing. What a great thing to hear from someone close to you. You know I have this thing, I love to be supportive. Although I wish I could be more supportive, I love being there when someone is in need. Call it an emotional need, or  a spiritual need but I love to be there for someone. To be that one they can confide in, to share secrets with, to trust. To be that person they can turn to when in difficulty. Its a such a pleasure to see that I made them smile or made their situation lighter for them. Its so amazing.   You know I get the weirdest fantasies sometimes. Not what your thinkning trust me. But its the type of fantasies that are about being there for someone when no one else will be there for them. Like sp...

 Bismillaah I came across this poem, and it reflects what Im feeling so I'd like to share it. I've learned you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I've learned that no mater how much I care, some people just don't care back. I've learned that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts. I've learned that it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it. I've learned that you can do something in an instant. that will give you a heartache for life. I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I've learned that it's a lot easier to react than it is to think. I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I've learned that you can keep going long after you ...

Bismillaah Ive noticed something. And maybe I can use it to my own advantage. Words and presence are powerful. Powerful enough to lift the spirits, to inspire and to mend broken hearts. Powerful enough to change one's life. For the better or for the worst.   And from now on Insha Allah I will do my best to use my words to enhance the lives of others. To make life enjoyable for my family, my friends and even strangers. I will, Insha Allah be direct in my speech, direct and courteous so no one will be left to wonder what I meant by what I said. So much problems can come from relationships when words are spoken in an ambigous manner. Did we forget shaytaan that loves to brew discourse between us? From just the words we utter? So Insha Allah I will be straightforward without being rude or blunt. But rather gentle but to the point.      There are some people you meet that know how to uplift your spirits. After a day of feeling frustrated and sad they can put a...

Bismillah I had dream today. And it scares me and at the same time gives me hope. I dont want to mention it here, as badly as I want to. But what I understand from it is that I think Im gonna die. Soon. Im not kidding. Ive been getting dreams likes for a while now that I expect it to be any time now. Maybe this dream is a wake up call or something.   Because lately I have been worrying about my dunyawi issues (I made up the word, I dont know if it exists or not but hey, I like how it sounds) Many issues actually, so much so that I forgot that time here is limited. Too limited. And my mind was so preoccupied with other things that when I would randomly see something about someone dying I would panic, thinking "Oh my God, Im gonna die too" Hello....you are gonna die just like everyone else but the problem was that I actually forgot about it.  Sometimes I wish I could have an intimate companion I could share all my dreams with, regardless of how ea...

 Ways to make Quality Time Fun So you want to have time for just you and your husband to just chill out, but you dont know what to do. Your tired of watching him watch tv. And he's probably tired of you nagging him to do something together. Here are a few tips to entertain each other without naturally with just you and him. No TV. 1) Fashion Shows You know how on a typical fashion show there's a woman walking down the run away modelling something. That all it is. If you love to be admired and have the body to do it make a pretend run-way in your living room. Dim the lights or add some stage lights to put the light on you. Women love shopping, so lets say you bought something nice. Model it for your husband. Im pretty sure you would rather him look at you than any other woman. So doll yourself up and walk down that run way. Do the catwalk better than anyone else can. If you love to sew, make something attractive and model it. *If your not in shape, nows th...

Bismillaah     I dont know, these past few days Ive been getting the urge to just express myself. I dont know what it is. Im just bursting with emotion. I dont know if thats too healthy. But what can you do? I love writing. Its my way of venting, or just getting the heat out of me. I prefer it better than awkward conversations where you may be misunderstood. But all you want is someone to just listen without giving you a solution or making a judgement. I just need someone to listen sometimes. And the writings perfect, cuz sometimes there's no one around. Or if they are, but they probably have their own problems to deal with. lol. Life. Thats life I guess. Ive come to love writing, I feel so much better afterwards like a mountain has been lifted from my shoulder.     I have other ways of dealing with stress and writing is number one. I also love singing. Growing up  I was taught that singing wasnt good.  Taboo bro. Like my p...

 I believe in soulmates. That person who was made for you to live with in peace and tranquility, that person that helps you elevate to the highest spiritual ranks. That mate that you knew even before you were put on this earth. And when you think of them you feel a familiarity, a connection, a type of love that makes you want to be with them, forever.   Finding this person is not easy. You might go through the most difficult time finding such a person. You may go through momments of sadness and emptiness trying to find the one. But when you find them, and you see they're a decent person and have good character and deen, then do not let go. Its rare to find them. Its rare to find the sincere, God-loving ones that appreciate love and beauty. Especially the young ones, who happen to be attractive too. They are like a diamond in the dust, a rare jewel, a precious stone. Their rarity makes them even more apealing. And ofcourse, it may be difficult to hav...

Bismillaah Sometimes I wonder how long I have to live. I dont know but I get this feeling that my time will be soon. Its okay, Im kinda looking forward to seeing the other world anyway. Sometimes I have the most beautifulest of dreams, I can almost cry thinking about them. Everything from the crystal clarity to what I see is spectacular, and I  can still remember them to this day! Sometimes I wish I could be friends with a dream interepreter, because I have the strangest dreams sometimes. I think about them throughout the day and no one really gives me a satisfactotry intrepretation. They just look at me surprised.   But they're so beautiful. Ive been getting alot of signs in the past year or two about death. Whenever I go for a basic intrepretaion I see death. death. death. Very interesting. I have hope though of going to a better place. Sometimes things get so tough here, and it feels like I am holding on to hot coals sometimes. Its insane how hectic things get, and ...

A Cute Letter from a newly married girl to her mother Dear mom, Like every normal girl, I was excited about marriage right from my childhood days. I never thought beyond the time that I would spend happily with my prince charming. But today when I am married, I realize that marriage is not all roses. It’s not just about being with your beloved and having a gala time. There is so much more to it. It comes with its own share of responsibilities, duties, sacrifices and compromises. I can’t wake up anytime I want to. I am expected to be up and ready before everyone else in the family. I can’t laze around in my pyjamas throughout the day. I am expected to be presentable every time. I can’t just go out anytime I want to. I am expected to be sensitive to the needs of the family. I just can’t hit the bed anytime I want to. I am expected to be active and around the family. I can’t expect to be treated like a princess but am supposed to take c...
