Relationship Advice From A Single Girl #3: SELF LOVE!

   


             Assalaam alaikum my lovelies. This post in one of the hardest I can attempt to write. SELF LOVE . To love one's self.  That doesn't necessarily mean going to spas, getting pedicures and etcetera. In this case, I mean to love one's self despite all the irregularities and imperfections we have. 

Let me even ask Myself this question. DO I LOVE MYSELF?  I barely do. Honestly the struggle is real. When I look in a full length mirror, I see my thighs that are too fat, my stomach that isn't flat enough, my arms too muscular, my face too acne prone, and the list goes on. 

I don't think about the people that wish to be in my place. I have similar to suicidal thoughts sometimes. It's not even because of my body. It's because of people's perceptions of me. Maybe I'm too annoying, I'm too intimidating *trust me, you're not the only one shocked by this*, I'm not worth it and etc.

It's strange how we like believing others over our selves. I stay away from any form of medication for the safety of myself. I've learnt to love myself. Scratch that, I'm learning to. Little by little. Hana Hana. Step by step. It's not an easy task. When you look in the mirror say "Wow. I look pretty/handsome." For my Muslim brothers and sisters "Ma sha Allah" is a praise giving to Allah when appreciating the beauty of his creations. Look in the mirror and say "Ma Sha Allah." 

Tell yourself you are imperfect and your imperfections make you YOU. I've listened to my parents, my friends and ofcourse BTS. They all keep passing the same message which is to love my self, my imperfections, my SELF. It's your SELF not their self.

Ask me what it is to love one's self. It's is simply being happy with whatever you are, however you look, whoever you are etc. And I quote to all the haters out there "You can't stop me loving my self" -BTS Idol. Simple. 

I'm learning. Trust me I am. We all are. My lovelies, I'll try to always be here and to always love my self and so should you all. Love you❤❤❤ and Purple you💜💜💜. Allah hafeez and all the best today my lovelies. Until next time in sha Allah 💜😊.

Assalam alaykum my lovelies. It's been a long, long time but I'm back temporarily. Wie geht's? Yeah, I'm learning German .  So... my dressing. Guys being mature is a good thing right? At least looking mature should be a good thing right?! As you all know I'm in Lagos right now learning German and well... I've been told some weird stuff in this little period of time. It's a known fact that my dressing is on the conserved side meaning that I limit my dressing and I watch what I wear and stuff like that. Well... when did I start looking like someone's mother or someone's wife? I mean, I went to pick my cousins up from school and from afar, her friends  (referring to my female cousin) claimed that the lady they were seeing(Me) must be her mother (my aunt). You can imagine my reaction when she relayed this to me. I almost went ballistic. Some days before that day, I went to the super market. So some people doing advertising for a company that pr...

Just Because...

Hi guys. Well I've been trying to act like some one I don't know. I think I am starting to feel like going to university is starting to hit me badly. Is it bad that I want to be myself when everyone wants me to grow up? I haven't even started undergoing the transition and I'm already freaking out. I might just punch the next person who tells me to grow up in the face. Honestly I'm a strangely violent person but i try not to let it show too much. Anyway,the thought of getting new friends, classmates and being in complete control of my life is a really frustrating thing. It's amazing how people actually feel happy to be going through this transition. Come to think about it... I actually want to study medicine. How am i going to react eventually? i want to hear opinions on whether people believe that this crazy fifteen year old will be able to adapt.  May the almighty Allah bless you all. Looking forward to hearing your replies. Please reply in the...
