Sweet doses of life? Not too sure whether anyone can relate to this. Just want to post my thoughts as I have run out of ink and paper.
Basically life is great! Or it is what you make of it I suppose. Born innocent and grow to be good. Well that is exactly what I have done all my life. However, I have never complained about it. I've always seen things in a good light, guess that's exactly why I can get a little distressed upon realising that some things only seem pretty on the surface but deep down things are really nasty which can almost shatter that picture perfect world you once thought you saw.
Miss may I have your permission to go to the toilet? Can I have some more sir? Why can I not go to the cinema with my brothers daddy? Shall I even bother asking? Okay, I'll not give into any temptations just so I can attain your trust, I won't or can't fall in love? Why was I born a girl? Do I need permission to take a breath in this world? What is it with all these restrictions? Am I not good enough?
Ask those questions that are worth asking. Live fully but remember why you are here. Early restrictions in life for a Muslim girl or any girl don't mean that they are trying to disadvantage you. Moreover they are trying to shape you up (prune you) to be a better individual (beautiful tree) in the long run.
I'm a Muslim and I'm proud to be me. There were times that I'd wonder why things were the way they were and why i was being treated differently, but now it is all beginning to make some sense. Never lose hope in the things you believe. Being good is not a curse as it can sometimes seem. Patience is a virtue. Learn it and harness it. The results will be sweet. Just believe and it will all happen for the better. Insha'Allah
JazakAllah
