"I'm a Muslim. Of course I'm hard to get"

"I'm a Muslim. Of course I'm hard to get"

What's your initial reaction?

When my cousin said this, there was a  large part of me that took offense.

Was she saying that Muslim girls are considered ugly? Do we repel guys? Are we not fanciable???

I couldn't believe what she just said but then that small, rational part of me thought about it for a bit. And I saw the truth in what she was saying. As a Muslim, we should be hard to get. We cover ourselves and dress modestly to avoid unwanted attention. Those of us who wear the headscarf do so to identify ourselves as Muslims. I am a Muslim, it screams. And us Muslims, we don't just let anyone into our lives (in a romantic context). We are told to wait for 'the one' who was created for us. Designed especially for you. Your other half. The one that completes you. The one that will help you get closer to your Lord. The one you'll enter Jannah with Insha'Allah.

So play hard to get. Don't cheapen yourself by talking flirtatiously, or caking yourself up to attract guys. Don't make it easy for him to kiss you or touch you. You are a Muslim and you are hard to get.

Saying no is hard. But it will be worth it insha'Allah.

Please do say hi

I'm finding this whole blogging experience a little weird. I'm not really into tech and computers and stuff so I don't really know how to use this.
I was just checking my stats and it says I had 11 page views. Now, I know I haven't checked my own page 11 times. Lol. So I want to know if anyone is actually reading my blog(s).

If you are reading this, and you are not me, then please do say hi :)

And add me to your reading list. I promise I will become more interesting!

Peace out for now.  It is almost 2:30am so ... er.. goodnight?

little intro

Recently I have been thinking... I must be one ANNOYING person. I don't shut up. I'm constantly either complaining or dreaming.

There are so many things in the world that bother me. I have a feeling that if I stay committed to doing these blogs, a lot of my blogs will be rants. If I'm not ranting then the blog will almost definitely be about marriage.

If anyone is reading this, I hope you stay with me on this little new journey of mine and also enjoy what you read.

I was meant to publish this on the 1st of Jan but it's just past 1am now so....yeah.

Anyways about 25 hours ago it became 2015 and I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. Like normally when it's a new year I feel this wave of strength and renewed hope but this time I was just tired and quite moody. To be honest, I think it was because I had so many plans for 2014, most of which I did not achieve. 2014 was meant to be 'my year' but it wasn't.

But God is the best of Planners so I am not too upset. I do hope 2015 will be 'my year' though and for this reason, amongst other reasons, I chose to start a blog and share the happenings of this wonderful year.

So welcome!
