i actually think "surface level" friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride or die. some friends are for the gym. some are for going out. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. those deep convos and connections are for the 2-3 people closest to you
I say, "I've left it to Allah," and genuinely mean it, but then I catch myself making dua for it all day, praying extra nafl, and overthinking it again. The battle between tawakkul and desire is no joke. 😭
I want to be so comfortable financially that gifting my loved ones becomes second nature.
“You passed”
Dinner’s on me.
“You bought a car?”
Let me buy you fuel
Gifting my loved ones would honestly make me so happy.
