Life?

Life is a series of unpredictable events. Nothing and no one is ever certain. Even your own existence might not be there for the things you have planned. The people around you, your friends, they are with you only if they truly value you not for what they can gain. True bonds are unconditional. You should be able to trust someone completely, eyes closed, without hesitation.

We spend so much time planning unaware of what might happen along the way. That is why it is important to live life on your own terms. You only live once. Make sure that when you leave this world you can be at peace knowing you never settled for the bare minimum just because society expected it. Most of us realize this after our mid-twenties and then life becomes a journey of self-exploration.

Make the most of the time you have before it is too late and you are left with regrets. Every moment should be cherished. The only thing we can control is the present and how we face it not the past or the future. Overthinking destroys our present. I do it myself and it brings anxiety. Sometimes all I can do is reach out to those close to me and let them help calm my mind.

Life is unpredictable but it is beautiful. The key is to live it fully, love deeply, and hold onto what truly matters.

Sehr.

Places, People, Moments: The Beauty of Impermanence

Leave a comment

“ But if you knew, you might not be able to see it again tomorrow, everything would suddenly become special and precious, wouldn’t it?”

— Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami

We move through life assuming continuity—believing the places we love will stay, the people we cherish will remain, and the moments we live will repeat themselves. But what if they don’t?

This quote from Kafka on the Shore is a quiet reminder of impermanence. It urges us to see the beauty in the ordinary, to treat today not as another page in a never-ending book, but as a fragile, irreplaceable chapter.

That hallway in your childhood home where the light always falls a certain way. The friend you always assume you’ll see next weekend. The elder who would guide you with their wisdom won’t be sitting at the table again as they did. The lazy Sunday morning filled with silence and coffee. They might not be there tomorrow. Not in the same way.

We often chase big dreams and future plans, but perhaps the real magic lies in the small things we take for granted. Noticing them. Being present for them. Valuing them—not because they are rare, but because they are fleeting.

So next time you’re with someone you love, or in a moment that feels simple and still, pause. Soak it in. Because knowing it might not come again doesn’t make it sad—it makes it sacred.

Between Culture and Compassion

Leave a comment

When a mother has a baby girl, people sometimes respond with comments like, “Don’t worry, maybe you’ll have a boy next time,” as if having a daughter is somehow disappointing. These remarks often reflect outdated beliefs or personal biases, rather than any real issue. The truth is, daughters are just as valuable and bring their own unique joy to a family. The connection between daughters and their parents—especially with their fathers—can be incredibly strong and meaningful. Every child is a gift, regardless of gender.

Let me be clear — I don’t associate myself with feminist ideology. But I also believe that expecting women to suffer in silence, to sacrifice endlessly without emotional support or understanding, is something I can’t accept.

We live in a time where women still feel pressured to marry based on societal expectations, not emotional connection. Many go through heartbreak, yet are expected to carry on — often having child after child in homes where love and care may be missing. It’s heartbreaking, and it’s real.

Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married Bibi Khadija (RA), a widow who proposed to him. Islam honored women and gave them the right to choose. But somewhere along the way, culture and customs overshadowed that message. Today, a woman taking a step forward for herself is often misunderstood or unfairly judged.

This isn’t about blaming anyone. It’s about rethinking what we’ve normalized.

Women deserve respect, choice, and emotional safety — just like men do. We need to build a society where both are treated with fairness and dignity. It’s not about one being above the other — it’s about walking side by side.

I will always be grateful to my angel of a father. He wasn’t a typical Baloch father — he gave me freedom, respect, and unwavering admiration. He loved me with a kindness and understanding that shaped who I am. Since his passing, I’ve felt permanently deprived of that kind of love and comfort. He was my safe place, my constant — the one I could turn to no matter how hard life got. My friend, my strength, my father — my everything.

I truly wish more fathers could be like him — trusting, loving, and always holding a soft spot for their daughters, no matter what.

Ten years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life — you didn’t settle for it. But remember… ten years isn’t guaranteed. Tomorrow isn’t promised. Life is short, and passing quickly.

So do what your heart wants. Follow it — fully, unapologetically. Say no to anything that doesn’t align with who you are or your life. No one else needs to understand it. It just needs to be real to you. You’re not here to merely exist — you’re here to live. And if you’re lucky enough to be here in ten years, make sure it’s a life that feels like your own.

There’s no such thing as perfect — not in people, not in choices, not in paths. Everyone has flaws, cracks, and contradictions. The beauty lies in deciding which imperfections you’re willing to live with — in yourself and in others. That’s what being human is. You won’t be perfect either, but to someone out there, you might just be the best thing they’ve ever known. So never talk down to yourself. Move like the world does revolve around you — and then choose your people accordingly. Choose the ones who get it. Who support you. Who see you.

And even on your fragile days — don’t let negativity in. The world/people can be cruel, but their bitterness isn’t yours to carry. Protect your peace, guard your worth, and never let someone else’s darkness dim your light.

This one’s for everyone born in the ’90s — before tech took over. We’ve officially hit the serious age. To those still choosing their path — keep going. And to those who followed the script and settled for what the world chose for you — may you find peace, purpose, and pieces of yourself along the way. ✨💛🥂

Cherish the time and people in your life—once they’re gone, you can’t get them back.
