Cup of tea with Aisha

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah 🌸 The weather has been rainy for weeks. Alhamdulillah. Rain can be loud and dangerous even, but it has a calming effect. I like when can stay inside and listen the sounds. Or sit outside at the balcony. Here's one bird which's song sounds like glass. It's a rainy day bird, apparently, because I always hear it sing during or after the rain. ... I am a rainy day bird too. And a deep sea creature. Could be a phoenix.. but I've been distinguished before I can go through my natural process.  I am also like the weather, changing every day. And I often feel like I'm just air. Even to my dearest. One could say, "we need air to breathe, it's a must". But it is the oxygen that our lungs crave, constantly.  I find it hard to find my light and spark. Everything has turned into mud. Sticky and I rather just not go there. ... I feel like home here.  And it's like always, home home or here: I am alone. It's getting hard to ke

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah 💕 I could continue the theme of my last post easily.. at least what comes to my what's-going-on. More harder days, also lots of love and happy moments.

So, I've - met family - written poetry - made decisions And alhamdulillah, I am happy that I can have new opportunities. In sha Allah. Each new day is one, and I want to make good use of it. I have also learned a couple things. For example, - I still like to write poetry - I am not repeating myself, but staying as who I am - Honesty brings out goodness - Patience may eventually give happiness and

 Assalamu aleikum 😊❤ how are you, dears? I posted on instagram (@cupofteawithaisha) day before yesterday, that I'm still here and all is fine, alhamdulillah. And it's true. By the mercy and will of Allah (swt) I have been able to gain a little more confidence in what I'm doing, alhamdulillah. Past few days especially have been good. Some moments might feel more difficult and giving up is lurking around the corner, but all in all I feel things might take now a better turn, in sha Allah. And I understood something that makes it easier to face obstackles on my, or our way. ... Now I firmly believe that hardships can be blessings in disguise. As muslims, we are supposed to thank and praise Allah subhaana wa ta'ala during good and the bad times, and there's a blessing in that too. But personally I often have to go through certain lessons, that I can really feel the true meanings of the words that I might've heard many times. In one very famous ayah from Qur'an,
