The Difficulties of Multicultural Marriages

This blog post is for the people who left their country in order to be with the one they love, and the people who have a partner that did that sacrifice for them. I feel like in most cultures and countries, it is usually advised to marry a person that comes from your culture or background.. I used to not understand the advice of people who usually advised that. I mostly thought it was racist but…

The Advantages of having a Breakdown

So lately I´ve been feeling a bit down. I sit in the sofa and ask myself, “What do I want from this world?”, “Will I be able to achieve my dreams?”, “Actually, what are my dreams?”, “Am I good person?”, “How does one know if they are a good person?” All these questions are meaningless and meaningful at the same time. Sometimes when you fall deep down in a hole, everything seems dark. These…

The People Who Think They Can Change People

This post is for the people who try to fix things that are unfixable. The people who think they can change other people. The people who believe in others more than they believe in themselves. Some will understand exactly what I mean, to the ones who understand this. This post is focused on you. It won’t be a very nice one, it will be a criticizing one. So, if you can´t handle it then don’t read…

"You need to find Yourself, in order to find God" -Rumi

“You need to find Yourself, in order to find God” -Rumi

I watched a lecture a couple days ago and it was a lecture about Rumi. He’s a philosopher and islamic scholar that is known around the whole world. The quotes and poems he wrote all had something in common, “in order to find God you need to find yourself”. Knowing who you are, what your qualities are, personality, morals, etc, makes it easier to seek God. Everyone has an image of who Allah (swt),…

"I wish I learned this earlier.."

“I wish I learned this earlier..”

Wisdom from Earl Nightingal When a boy is born he usually talks, thinks, and acts like his surroundings, copying his surroundings. He then starts in school and usually in school he wants to be liked by the other boys and so he follows these boys. Which as we all know are not leaders. He does this maybe from 1st grade to maybe 8th or even more. He then graduates and goes maybe to the military…

Having to Learn German is the Hardest Part of Moving to Germany

Having to Learn German is the Hardest Part of Moving to Germany

A lot of people have parents that moved to a country to afford a better future for them, some have people who moved because of safety, others for education, etc. My parents also moved to the US to afford a better future for us. I never knew how hard it actually was for them until I moved to Germany after I got married.  We can never understand truly what someone went through unless we went…

Greed isn't A Financial Symptom

Greed isn’t A Financial Symptom

So a couple days ago I got a free ticket to London! Which to me is crazy because I´ve always wanted to go to London! There are many places I’ve wanted to go to, and thank God I did. But this city is different because it’s connected to my father, he lived and studied in London. He talked a lot about it and would even make sandwiches that he ate there for us for breakfast. So I’m really happy to be…

Who Are You Aside From Your Roles and Relationships?

Who Are You Aside From Your Roles and Relationships?

We all are surrounded by people who are either our friends or family, and on the other hand we are also surrounded by people through society and our careers.  When we look at the roles these people have on us and the roles we have on them, we realize who we are to each one of them. When we realize that we then can tell that we are a different version of ourselves to each one of them. How a son…

The Questions They Didn't Ask Us Before Choosing a Career

The Questions They Didn’t Ask Us Before Choosing a Career

In our twenties or thirties we were dragged into thinking what career to have when actually that should be the time we think about what life we want to have. Instead of asking us “What do you want to be?”, they should ask, “What kind of person do you want to be?”  They tell us to put the time and effort into getting a job or degree instead of telling us to think about how we want to spend our…

The Five Regrets Before One Dies

The Five Regrets Before One Dies

“The last hour of a person’s life is the most important hour of a person’s life”. There was a nurse that worked at a hospital with patients who didn’t have much time to live. They had about 3 to 12 months left. She worked there for years and she would always ask them, “What do you regret the most?”. She would write down their answers in her notebook and as the years passed she realized that…

Don't Be Stuck In Pain

Don’t Be Stuck In Pain

When a pain is too strong to handle, the body tends to protect you by making you numb sometimes. It makes you not feel anything at all towards a topic or situation that is meant to make you feel pain. Your body knows you better than you know yourself. It listens to you, sees what you’re going through and it knows exactly how to help you. A lot of times when it numbs us, it gives us time to grasp…

Lets Go To Venice

Lets Go To Venice

So a couple days ago I was in Venice Italy, and just three words explained how I felt about the trip, “It was perfect”. A country that is full of life, people who know how to enjoy the small things in life. A society that dances and sings in the streets. People that smile all the time, say hi, and restaurants where the workers love to communicate with you. Most streets were narrow with plants…

We All Have Arrogance In Us

There are many people in the world searching for the right path. The path that makes them the best version of who they are. They start searching, whether it’s for a certain religion or a way of life, when they find it they then start to study it. Why is this the “best” path? What makes it the best path? For some, money makes them the best, the more money the better you are than most people.…

The More You Give, The More You Get

“A fight is going on inside me,” said an old man to his son. “It is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and…

Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

Don’t Give Up On Your Dreams

When I was young I loved going to school a lot. I loved to study, get good grades, see my friends, and I loved my teachers. I went to college afterwards however I had to drop out. I was majoring in Biology and minoring in Psychology. At that time I thought I knew what I wanted to be. I thought it was all planned out and now I just need to follow the steps for it. Then some situations happened and…
