Stuck in the middle with you

assalamu alaikum,

I'm stuck.

I've always known, even before my parents wished me to, that I don't have to do anything I don't want to do.

The problem comes when there is something I DO want to do, that perhaps I shouldn't. Even if the harm will come only to me. Like, traveling (hello, I'm an adult!) on my own. And I want to. And I know it'll be okay. But it might not be. Ah, the vagaries of adulthood.

InshaAllah I'm headed to Chicago for the Independence Day holiday. I have not eaten anything with added sugar in it since June 13th. I'll have to tell you all about that later; suffice it to say now that on the 4th I'll be celebrating with some sugar! (The rule is: no added sugar unless it's a holiday or the 13th of July.)

Hope you're all doing really well.

love
twenny

  1. Doing and planning things on our own when we enter adulthood isn't a bad idea. We could always do what we want as long a s we know the difference of right doing and wrong doing. muslimah
