Where you are, why you're there

Destiny is inevitable.

You will be where you're meant to be, when you get there.
If you try to catch a cup as it is falling and it still drops, it was destiny. (lol)

I often reflect on how I live in terms of far removed of the way I used to. I realized a few things:
  • I have become a better person - I can read people's emotions better.
  • I understand the concept of hospitality.
  • I learned to be more patient.
  • Maybe God is keeping me away from worse things.
  • Maybe He's saying it's time to grow up already!
  • People deal with worse things.
  • At least there is peace.
  • Everything in life is a stepping stone for something else.
  • Trials and tribulations are a way to self-purify.
  • Many of the things I want to do or think I may are worldly desires. Having fun all the time doesn't serve me right.
  • Things that are for my own good can be done even without always having my way.
  • If my husband was into doing half the things I'd rather do than stay home, my house would be a mess, we would be stressed, my in-laws would respect me less.
  • I've seen the easier steadier type of culture practiced.
  • There aren't as many dawaths as there were when I first moved.
  • There are some cultural things that cannot and will not be enforced on me - don't drive, don't get out of the house, don't go to Islamic programs, don't talk to other men (when necessary), have your husband do everything for you non-house related but do everything for him.
  • Staying in my room will eventually lead me to clean it.
Ahh and I'm done for now!
