You ever forget to blink for too long and then your eyes start to water and it makes your brain think “oh I must be sad!” So it then brings up all the things you were trying not to think about.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

As a 31 year old I’m telling you, life does not end after your twenties nor are you old in your 30s. I might have a smile line or two and some new aches in my body but there is so much more life to live. If you are feeling the inevitable passing of time a little more lately, I just want you to know that it is okay if you don’t have it all figured out yet by 18, 22, 25, or any age after. And you certainly don’t have to fit any mold that society has placed in front of you. Go at your own pace, be kind to yourself.

I promise there is time left for you.

Perhaps this waiting period is Allah’s way of softening your heart, deepening your du’as, and preparing you for something far greater than you imagined. Maybe this season of struggle is actually drawing you nearer to Him, strengthening your faith and building a patience that only He can reward. The delays, the closed doors, the detours—they aren’t setbacks, but signs that His plan is unfolding perfectly. Trust that His timing isn’t just good—it’s the best for you. 🌷
