I asked my niece what she thought my jeans were giving and she said “an aunt that doesn’t wanna be 30” - so how’s your day going?

I’m the type to bring a full Syrian breakfast spread to work. You’ll never catch me not enjoying the little things in life 😋

I think people massively overestimate my willingness to argue. Somewhere along the way, can write long paragraphs became synonymous with must enjoy debating. I assure you, those are two completely different skill sets.

I’m probably the most conflict-avoidant person I’ve ever met. Even my thoughts are conflict-averse. They don’t argue, they hold a committee meeting, find common ground, and adjourn peacefully. So when someone tags me expecting an intellectual showdown, I fear they’ve picked the wrong person.

Truth be told, I’m terrible at it.

You’d actually have to be incredibly skilled at creating conflict to get me to participate. Halfway through, I’d probably be explaining your side better than you are, wondering how we got here in the first place, and questioning whether any of this is worth the energy.

By the time you’ve written your third paragraph, I’ve already considered your point, my point, the socioeconomic factors, your childhood, three alternative interpretations, and at least five reasons this conversation probably isn’t worth anyone’s blood pressure and whether we should all just drink some water and move on. If I have to pick a side, I’ll happily pick the side of common sense.

What I won’t do is spend my day trying to reason with people who have no interest in being reasonable. Reason only works with those willing to reason. Beyond that, you’re not having a discussion you’re just donating your peace to someone else’s entertainment.

Despite what my unnecessarily long paragraphs might suggest, I’m neither a debater nor a conflict resolution specialist. Being articulate doesn’t automatically qualify me to referee internet disagreements, and I have absolutely no interest in auditioning for the role.

I’m just a professional yapper. I can write an unnecessarily long essay about the most random observation that absolutely nobody asked for. But the second it turns into conflict, my soul quietly excuses itself and leaves the room.

The internet can keep the conflict. I don’t even take sugar in my tea, let alone drama.🥲🫢

Someone just sent me a NGL 🤭

If he/she doesn't reply these days, don't worry, he's/she's probably busy with the World Cup.

Anyone who is really serious about marriage

Salaam

Take this however you may, just don’t think of it as a universal or an absolute truth as it’s based off of my life experiences.

I just wanted to share one of the lessons I’ve learned throughout my journey of wanting to become a husband. “Please find someone who fits & completes your puzzle instead of trying to shape them into a piece that you want them to fit into” especially past the ages of 25 when frontal lobes are fully developed, it’s a lost cause to expect adults both men & women to change for one another (speaking strictly from my experiences alone)

The most humbling lesson I’ve learned so far is to make sure that the person you’re talking to shares the same fundamental values as you. No it’s not as simple as exchanging “deal breakers”.

I’ve met so many amazing women on & off of this app. Truly, they’ve been respectful, honest & positive. Despite all of this without fail, there has always come a moment of realization for me showing that there’s no potential for marriage.

Most of my matches even reassured me that they’d change for me as they thought they were changing for the better. I actually entertained this idea for the first few times. Soon enough it was evident that even if someone wants to change at their age of post frontal lobe development, they just can’t. Temporarily they’ll try and think it’s working, until they feel suffocated, losing themselves in the process and dimming their light. I’d hate for any man or woman to go through that.

For example, ppl who have opposite gendered besties & are in constant contact with them through insta, snap etc will always continue living their life in such a way as those relationships have been with them for far longer than I will ever be. I’m not even using Islam as a guilt trip tactic, it’s just one of my deal breakers due to me having protective jealousy for the woman I choose to marry. Women can have male friends as long as it’s not my woman 😂

I won’t blame incompatibility issues for 100% of my failures of not having been able to accept any of my potentials in the past. I’ll also take accountability for how picky I tend to be and lean towards being a workaholic which isn’t good for a healthy relationship of any nature. I remember missing out on so many family events due to my work - birthdays, weddings & even family get togethers on Eid at times during my earlier years of career development.

I hope this adds to your journey of finding your Naseeb. All the best, iA Khair.

Anyways enough of the serious talk. I’m officially on vacation starting today 5pm CDT.
Flying to Toronto tomorrow morning at 5:3am & I haven’t even started packing yet. It’s a two week trip to Canada so I’m thinking of packing light & buying summer outfits from Toronto, yay or nay?
