Likewise, @SC1. Met someone and thought it would work out but his parents couldn’t get over my blackness. Alhamdulillah, he’s found someone else now but I can’t help but wonder how many lives we ruin when we let things like race get in the way. May Allah swt make it easy on us all.

Yeah, his family was Indian and proud of it. My family is Nigerian and proud of it. We had more in common in cultural values than we didn’t but that didn’t matter. InshaAllah, they learn from their mistakes.

Mine has been just finding someone I'm compatible with enough to move forward. At times it's been attraction as the main issue, other times deen hasn't lined up, other times education isn't really there nor is the desire to make it a priority.

I resonate with this. May Allah make it easy for you.

My point is just in general having kids earlier allows you to not be so old when they grow up. Being 50 when your kid graduates vs being 40 is very different.

For me, it’s finding someone with similar balance of religion and worldly goals. I feel I am too old school in some areas, too liberal in others..

Do you mind giving examples?

For some people it’s literally they just don’t know how to meet potentials. For others maybe they’re not ready yet. Or maybe you’ve had bad experiences with getting into marriage in the past.
For me, I’ve gotten to know a few men for marriage and it turns out we are not compatible (different personalities, values, lifestyles, etc)

I was just thinking about it yesterday. It occurred to me how difficult my journey has been and thought no wonder it's called half your Deen.

Hi fishes,

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID. If I give, it is giving a warning that my account is already present in ibegin and telling me to login with another email ID. As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?
