SubhanAllah this question amazes me. For personal reasons ofc. I’ve chased everything and found nothing more logically mind freeing than the deen of Allah. I’ve met so many people and found no friend as loyal to me as Allah. I’ve found fashion and fun and laughter and nothing more fulfilling and nothing that brought me more contentment than the boundaries of Allah. And I fight every day trying to keep my faith alive, and it’s so so hard, I’d say more so being a girl, with fashion and entertainment and the mindset of other girls (girls know what I mean) - it’s so easy to get carried away, but in the end, SubhanAllah nothing makes more sense, nothing is more satisfying, nothing will leave your heart in more peace and contentment than the obedience of Allah, chasing anything else is exhausting because things change in this world every five seconds and no matter how fast you run you’ll never be able to catch up.
My advice? Slow down. Its not a race. Your life is about you and Allah. You don’t have to be into the same things or on the same level as every other girl. Don’t corrupt the contentment of your heart to be around those that don’t understand it. Don’t chase things you can’t catch. Don’t let people take away from the woman you already are or from the goal of a woman you aspire to be. Let go of negativity and crush bad vibes. And I really do mean crush, completely out of existence. Live for your peace but know that all peace is from Allah.
