Salam everyone, this may seem like a weird question, but I’d appreciate any feedback. I recently got a job offer that I’m seriously considering. However, it requires me to relocate to the Midwest from the west coast where I live near my aging parents. This is important to me. My current job is secure but I’m just not happy with where things are. Don’t have the peace of mind. Would appreciate any advice on how I should be thinking about this. JzK!

Moving away from aging parents is tough esp if they somewhat rely on you but if not, it could be a good move and you can use it to find another oppt. to be back in the west after a year if you want. Living in the midwest can be a bit boring though. All depends on your situation at work, if it contributes to your career, wlb, etc. Moving across the nation also is a big move so not something to take lightly imo.

Pretend it’s been 5 years and you’ve achieved everything you wanted and more with the move, how are you feeling about it then?

Is it worth it? Is there another possible route to the same achievements?

The amount of time with your parents will decrease, but resentment is worse. Would they consider moving with you?

How different is it from your current job

I wouldn't have nearly as many issues with conservative principles if they weren't so hypocritical in how they enact them.

I'm not opposed to lowering taxes, smaller government, and respecting individual rights, but they simultaneously support bailing out big businesses, expanding church and state, and massive deficit spending to pay for dumb wars and tax loopholes for hedge fund managers.

I'd rather see our government provide food, healthcare, and shelter than any of the above things.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
