I think one way I have grown this year is reflecting on my own experiences in life and trying to better myself in shaa Allaah. Blogging has also been really helpful and enjoyable الحمدلله. As you grow in life and reflect, you realise the many immature things you have done along the way; it’s not about wanting to erase those memories but trying to better yourself after those experiences in life. That’s not to say I don’t still do immature things because I do. Maybe in the future I will look back and think the same as I do now with past experiences in life. Some days you do better mentally, physically and most importantly in your deen and some days you don’t. It’s not about pulling yourself down but motivating yourself and staying disciplined for whatever goals you have in life. Whether those goals are being a good wife or mum, doing good in your work or doing good in Islamic or secular studies etc. It doesn’t matter what it is but as long as your intentions are pure, that’s what matters. It is not about trying to please the people in this world but about pleasing Allaah, our Creator. May Allaah guide us all Aameen🩷

Don’t forget to say Allahumma barik and as always blogging is also a form of reminder for myself always. Blogging is not a persona for me, but at the same time it is a reminder of many things. TheUmmWhoWrites is imperfect just like all of you out there and learning as she grows because no one in this world is perfect.
