New home

-

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah :) how are you?


I have now moved to a new home and new area. I'm really happy and I already feel like I'm home. Alhamdulillah I got help from my friends and now this starts to settle. I'm still waiting for my roommate to arrive. Someone might call it a pet, but no, he will be my roommate in sha Allah :)

I have been sleeping well and even though moving is always stressful, I feel so much better here. My anxiety has been very high past days but same time I am feeling so much easier. 




...


It is actually so funny how anxious I have been during this move. A million little things have been like an ocean of tears and I just have been trying to swim through. But I haven't cried, not once! I can describe it best by telling what made one of my best friends laugh so hard. I asked her, does she have all her real friends and I'm her friend only because she feels sorry for me, lol. I have been anxious about going to market, going to work, going to wash laundry in the laundry room, men, my body shape, cooking too much food at once, talking too much about my anxiety to my friends, my new pet in sha Allah and getting all right kind of equipment for him... and I was so anxious about the moving. To a new area. How are the neighbors, where is the market.. And after all, everything has worked out so fine. I don't have nothing to worry, alhamdulillah. But this is the reason I have to keep my life easygoing and peaceful. Because when I stress, it just goes so overboard.


But, alhamdulillah, I still have my friends, this is a nice place to live, I have managed to do my laundry and go to work, go to market. Well, men haven't changed (yet) and my body shape is something I have to accept :) But still, alhamdulillah. Have to laugh a little at all this. 




...


So right now I can feel happy and grateful. It feels good to be in a new environment and be able to start on a clean slate, once again. I always promise to write more often, and I will try in sha Allah. Just always something comes on the way, like now.. of course I have to tell you the good news, and then after we can discuss the other topics. :) well, I guess you are already used to this, my dear readers. Thank you for reading and take care!

 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

Hello hello!

 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,
