Thirty feels so strange for me. I am really having hard time to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult.
In my twenties I was a DAAUUS/ A PEACOCK now I am a LION and I am dreading to turn into a camel.

1. What was/is it like

Fast, very tough, steep learning curve. Many milestones & accomplishments rolled over each other, blurred memories.

2. How different/similar are you now to who you were or thought you wanted to be

I'm a mum alxamdulillah! He motivates me to be the best. I'm less Black and white about decisions. Less confident, softer, more resilient & adaptable. Much tougher than i imagined alxamdulillah, but feel weak. Very jaded, glass half empty. Still quite idealistic & naive/gullible, I don't want to lose this in shaa Allah.

3. Advice

Don't lose sight of your diin & loved ones. Decide on what makes you, you, and resist changing those things. It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. You'll likely never achieve your childhood dream, or when you do you may be disappointed; it's perfectly possible to be quite perfect at the quite impossible, learn to adapt. With hardship comes ease, with hardship comes ease. Fully feel your failures so your successes taste sweeter. Let go of the bitter weight & you'll soar like a kite. Kiss your mother everyday; relent your will to hers plenty. Some people will be in places they don't deserve, not just because they're not worthy but also because they're too worthy; "can I have it in writing" is useful. Money is valuable, quality of life is invaluable. If you can close and open your heart 100x, let it be crushed, and still smile through the pain, you're tougher than most. It's possible to be very tough and weak, and very strong & brittle (something for fellow engineers).

All the best everyone in shaa Allah, don't give up.

I was a moody teenager and a rebel in my early 20s. Now in my mid 20s, I'm now a woman who understands herself and the people around me. I've come a long way. In the end tho what matters is, my hoyo is proud of me. :blessed:


As growing young adults we all go through turbulences and stages of doubt and uncertainty, but with perseverance, levelhead and a good family system we all make it. Alhamdulilah.

I'm sure you read this one somewhere before so here the female version... where males are animals women are a habitat (a physical environment that surrounds a species)!


15 - 20 a woman is like Africa. She is half discovered, half wild.
20 - 30 a woman is like America. Fully discovered and scientifically perfect.
30 - 35, she is like India & Japan. very wise and beautiful
35 - 40 a woman is like France. She is half destroyed after the war but still desirable.
40 - 50 she is like Germany. She lost the war but not the hope.
50 - 60 she is like Russia. Very wide, very quiet but nobody goes there
60 - 70 a woman is like England. With a glorious past but no future.

at 80 same as males a nothing at all or rather nowhere at all

Very valuable lessons, can I have it in writing, my God. Also if I may add taking the time to read everything you sign. Don't rush into deals you are not completely comfortable with. Keep a paper trail of important information, especially where finances and career are concerned

Don't be a prick :lol: I remember distinctly going from "oh my goodness look at how much these people who are older than me know" to "I know everything myself, I know exactly what it is best for me, how and why are you trying to stand in my way" and now back to just being able appreciate varying viewpoints. You don't have to take every piece of advice but you'd be a fool not to listen and hear what's being shared. Test yourself and the assumptions you've made
