Just checking in 😬

Hello everyone! I know it’s getting tiring saying this every time I post a new blog, but it’s been over a year and I’m back officially. This isn’t going to be long, just breaking the silence and giving some sort of update on what’s been going on and I promise I won’t go MIA again 🤞

If I remember right, the last update I gave was my move to the UK to pursue an MA, getting married and figuring it all out. Well you’d be excited to know I have actually finished studying and have graduated early this year 🥳. Married life has a little bit different from the “single” life, I won’t get into those details but if anything, its just more phone calls everyday than normal because it’s long distance and I’ll be honest, those phone calls are the highlights of my days 🤭. My sister’s friend calls my husband my “halal boyfriend” because apparently we’re dating but in a halal way 😅

How have you been? I know with everything that may be going on in our personal lives, we tend to hop online to “catch a break” or even as part of our jobs or otherwise. But even that becomes such a mental task because we get exposed to an even crazier outside world! If it’s not a live footage of children being killed, it’s someone being absolutely inconsiderate to people’s feelings and so on and so forth! I think back in the days (I mean just a few years ago and that’s if I’m allowed to say that because I’m apparently too young to use that term) we would go online to escape our day to day realities but that has become an illusion over the years. In this life of continuous turmoil that we live in and the overwhelming online world, where does one go to then to wine down and have a temporary escape? I hope we’re surrounded by loved ones who hear us and see us. This may sound like the most cliche thing you’ve ever heard but if you need a break, take it, it may be easier said than done in most of our cases but whenever you can, take that break because it helps 💖
