The Quran: “your Lord does not allow the deeds of any of you to be lost, whether you are male or female” (3:195).

There’s a certain grief in looking back and realizing you weren’t really present in many years of your own life. Just surviving on autopilot, not living. The thought of growing older becomes less if a journey and more about running out of time that was never really spent.
Genuine friendship is about showing each other grace when life gets in the way, not about expecting perfection. 🙏💕 Adulting can be challenging, life can be difficult, and showing up isn't always feasible, but love and understanding are always accessible. 💯

Even with all its twists and turns, life is a precious gift. Whether it’s a moment spent with a good friend, listening to your favourite recitation, learning something new/interesting, reading a book or celebrating a milestone, prioritizing self-care helps to smooth the journey.
An "OLUBAWI" is not necessarily a family member but someone who candidly and fearlessly points out our mistakes regardless of whatever our ego would go through, helping us grow and become better versions of ourselves. Everyone who desires personal growth and development needs one
