This time it's different

 Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh everyone :) how is your weekend going?


I'm getting better from the flu, alhamdulillah. Just a bit of a runny nose but nothing more. Today has been good, we went for shopping in the nearby mall and got all sorts of needed things. And some halwa and chocolate too :)




...


It's true, January feels like it's been three months already.. I wonder what this year will bring. I wanted to think that this year would naively be the best for a while, but now we have wildfires and Trump, also there's ceasefire in Gaza which wasn't understood by IOF as they still have unalived people and attacked to West Bank. I haven't been following the news so much so I don't even know what else.. the cutbacks on our social security due to our own government can also be felt now. Our finance minister smiling with scissors in her hands, Elon Musk making nazi gestures.. ya Rabb.


It's important to have rest also and focus in living on your own little bubble to stay sane. I remember when I was younger, in my teens and late teens, suffering from the weight of the world. I remember how it felt. Sorry to say but then I had also more energy to be more active. I was vegetarian, I went to demonstrations, I was boycotting better than now. I believed in the chances to make an impact much more.

I still believe we constantly vote with our wallets, and I would like to add, our phones and social media too. It's important what kind of content we consume and demand. 

But same time I feel like there's nothing I can do. I can make duaa. That's what it has come to. But I will make duaa for all of you who still have energy to make things change for better. It's not a lost game and I think there is always the opposite force existing and waiting it's time. It's us, who wish peace and justice for everyone. And eye for an eye will make us all blind. It's important to answer to anything with good, or then at least a silence. We can't eliminate them who think differently, we still need to find ways for a dialogue and try to find some common ground. But I wish it would be as easy as said. The hate speech given doesn't encourage an understanding attitude so it's easily a dead end for both parties. That's why I sometimes pray that these type of people would get into a situation where they need help from a person of some minority. Maybe that would change their perception and humble themselves too. This land, whether it's Europe, Ukraine, US or Palestine, Sudan and Syria, it belong first and foremost to it's Creator, Allah subhana wa ta'ala.


...


Well, anyways.. I hope you all are doing fine and are well. I still want to say how happy I am you readers came back, whoever you are ♡ I was ready to quit.. but those of you have followed me longer time, you might remember that I often write about going always forward. I dunno, I kinda stopped for a while to see the view. It's not bad either. Slow progress is progress too, alhamdulillah. But this time it's you keeping me going on :)

 


 


Have a nice evening,



Aisha

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...

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, ...

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...
