My favorite breakup logic will always be this: the people who hurt us have moved on with their lives and are doing whatever they want, so should you. Stop waiting for them to feel bad about the things they consciously chose to do. It wasn’t a mistake. It was a decision

Meanwhile you’re sitting in pain, holding yourself back and letting time pass, while they continue living freely. And as much as you should take time to heal, never let your entire life slip away for someone who hurt you. That’s how you lose your power

Take your time, but never lose yourself

قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

Say: "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector)." And in Allah let the believers put their trust.

“Do not be afraid, I am with you all the time, listening and seeing.”

— Al Qur’aan [20:46]

Lately, I’ve been having some overwhelming feelings of disconnection, happiness and gratitude.

Recently divorced and content with the decision, thankful for all the blessings coming from it and the opportunities that lie ahead.

I hold resentment, mainly for giving you my prime years and having to come to terms with the reality that you never loved me.

I wasn’t hurt because of you. You’re inconsequential… I was hurt because my delusion of who you were, was shattered by the truth of who your are.

You will probably never be able to empathise with the feelings that brew within me. I cannot make you think & feel as deeply as I do and that is my tragedy. Because I understand you completely, but you cannot understand me the slightest.

Our marriage emptied me in every conceivable way and like the moon we must go through phases of emptiness to feel full again.

The one lesson I have learnt from our time together is that I can’t make someone love me by giving them more of what they don’t appreciate.

AlhamduLillaah for all that is me.

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The most truthful word ever spoken by an Arab poet is the saying of Labid:

Everything besides Allah is vain

أَلاَ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ مَا خَلاَ اللَّهَ بَاطِلٌ

Sahih Muslim 2256

Measuring a man’s value based on his finances genuinely one of the worst things that has infiltrated Muslim psyche, there is no kheir in a man who is rich but lacks courage, mercy, wisdom and kindness and plenty of kheir in a man who lacks money but has those attributes “High value man=rich” is such a terrible metric. Wealth comes and goes and Allah swt bestows it upon whom he wills but a personality built on goodness is enduring and will be rewarded in the hereafter.

He said...

"I really sayang you. I cherish you a lot. Thank you for being in my life."

This man who is usually not expressive, said those words to me.

🥺

He continued saying, "You had every chance to leave me but you didn't. I don't even know why."

Then when we left he asked me where did he park his bike. I replied, "How can you forget where you park your baby?"

He said, "Because I have my big baby here." 😳

Oh I just love to hear all the good things. Hehe. It makes me feel loved. Hahaha.

I need to keep the lists of things he does so that I will constantly be reminded to appreciate his efforts.

1. Agreeing to do the things I love to do.

2. Finishing the food that I ordered even when he's a fitness buff and is trying to watch his diet.

3. Eating Mcdonalds just because I want to eat it. This man only eats McDonalds once in a blue moon and here he is eating fast food with me.

4. Going Macritchie with me even when it was a bad idea; walked in the dark with just a light from the phone guiding our path and it was pouring rain.

5. I was telling him that I wanted to go JB to find The Family Mart sausages and this man went to almost the whole family mart in JB to get me the sausages. I have already given up because it seems like our efforts were futile. But noooo, this man told me he wants to try another one and finally I got my sausages.

6. Told this man that I wanted to buy Roti Boy and the nearest one is at CIQ. Mind you this man doesn't ride to CIQ area because to him these areas are unsafe. But he rode to CIQ just because I wanted to buy Roti Boy.

7. Fetching me from work to home. Fetching me from Woodlands to Bedok then to Woodlands then to JB. This man lives in Woodlands and I live in Bedok.

8. Spending hours with me talking about everything under the sun and telling me those cringey pick up lines. Even though I always cringe, he still does it anyway.

9. Told him once before that he should dress up nicely and not stick to just tshirt and track pants. Boy, today he wore a collared shirt with cargo pants and boots. My ovaries were exploding and he looked so so good.

10. Seeing him unshaved one day and asking him in the alpha why didn't he shave. 12 hours later post shift, I noticed he was clean shaven.

11. He is not really a texter but he attempts to text me and tell me about his day.

12. Met my family and was able to carry a conversation so well despite it being his first time meeting a girl's family.

13. Always telling me life stories where we both can learn from it.

14. Reassuring me that he's serious about this and repeating it like a broken record 🤣

15. I had to stay back after work to finish some work and he waited for till 12am so that he can send me back home 🥹

The lists will continue ....
