 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. How are you doing?


New year, same situation, I guess. At least what's going on in the world. But we can't give up. I can't give up.


...


Christmas and New year can be difficult time to people. There has been so much going on.. I am doing fine, alhamdulillah. I have my own tests to carry and I know how letting things go can be so painful. In some cases it is also freeing. 


...


What has given me strength, is definitely my friends, old and new ones. We gathered together one evening and had so good time that in sha Allah it will help me carry on for months. I'm also waiting for one my friend to come over for the weekend, it's so nice to have company.

Because I have been frustrated, lonely, taken for granted, lonely again, and my period is coming in sha Allah, so it helps when someone can just be there with me and distract a bit.. :)




...


I'm sorry because I don't know what to write. I want to write about happy things, like upcoming fashion trends and recipes like I once used to (maybe in my earlier blog), but due to what is happening in the world it just kinda feels grotesque almost. Ya Allah, if only I could write the words that will make a change in this world, I would.

It's also the darkest and coldest time of the year in Finland, so maybe that has something to do with it also. I'm not depressed, but definitely a little lo-fi mode. 


...


But I thank you all for reading and being part of my journey. I'm so happy to see that people all over the world come together to read these simple stories I write about my life. I also promise you, in sha Allah, that the better days are ahead and sun will be shining again.

Good to see you

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dears :) how are you doing? It's the endless promising that I will write more often.. I don't know why it is like this. But I'm really happy to see that you, dear readers, come back even though my lack of consistency. I can only promise to try to be better ;) I have been a little sick and even now I'm having some migraine symptoms. I've been in flu and had sore throat. Usually I'm physically healthy so this has stressed me out a bit. But alhamdulillah, getting better just in time for Ramadan. :) ... So yes. I have some news.. I got married ♡♡ I'm happy and it feels easy. We are still a bit strangers, we got married fast, so it's a bit of a learning process still. My husband is very sweet and takes care of me. It's the small things, he helps at home, always brings something when he comes (we are not living together yet), and gives compliments and intimacy. Alhamdulillah. Everyone have their misdeeds and m

Night time thoughts

-
 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. How are you? I am stressing about some personal issues, so can't sleep. So, I'm making a cup of coffee, planning to stay up all night. And go market in the morning. I have the luxury to take a nap later, so staying up tonight is not a problem. This happens for me sometimes, I just have to stay awake all night. Night is good time for writing, as I feel a bit more creative. The vibe is different and the stimulation of outside world has shut down. ... What would I write then? I want to write about Palestine, I want to write about Sudan, Congo.. Afghanistan. Kashmir, Uighur muslims, Rohingya sisters and brothers.. Yemen, Syria. And more, that I know or don't, yet. The world is burning because of Western democracy, which means white supremacy and colonization. Certain countries supporting each other in this atrocity. Even Finland, a nordic, "real democracy", the "happiest country in the world", is delivering gun

 Assalamu aleikum everyone! 😊❤ How are you doing? It feels great to start over. For those who don't know, I used to write a blog with the same title, "Cup of tea with Aisha", for around five years until I decided to demolish the whole thing. 😌 And it felt good. It was one part of my journey, finding myself and healing, and also about all the stumbling along the way. But now that part, is a part of the past. I'm still on that same journey, but on another level - a lot has happened and changed. So this is it, same me but maybe a different perspective.. I hope that with sharing my thoughts and insights, you may find yourself not feeling alone with yours. ❤ in sha Allah. ... In my profile, I tell I write about daily life, food, beauty, travel, islam, mental health and relationships. So, for an introduction, here's a brief 411 of these subjects in my life.. Daily life Right now, my daily life is very simple. In Finland everyone starts by asking about work or school,
