I GOT THEM!!
Assalamu alaikum!
So, I ordered a trial caftan from Desertstore.com, and it arrived today! It's this very pretty light blue one with dark blue embroidery! Subhan'Allah, I love that store!! So, now that I know what size to order, I can start ordering the various abayas and caftans .. whee! My plan, insh'Allah, to fully let go of skirts etc, and start wearing abayas and caftans w/ dusters full-time. Yay!
Anyway, so I've been thinking and...
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.
I am me. I cannot be anyone else. I have faults. I concede to this fact. I have everyday hopes, dreams, aspirations. But in the end, I am me. Allah, SWT, made me unique. He crafted me with a specific personality, an inclination to do right or wrong. He mapped out my future, and my destiny. So why do I try to be someone else? I've been working to be a good servant of Allah, Az-Wajaal, and although, I have fallen a few times, I think I'm on the right track. There's obviously more ground to cover, but Alhamdulillah. :D
Also, in response to Na1ma's comment about Shisha -Hashish, whatever- in Montreal. Well, a few of my friends wanted to go, and I've never been, so I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Needless to say, I probably wont be going again, but it is one of those things that you have to try just once. I hope you're not judging me, because I know now it wasn't the best atmosphere to be in, but it was a learning experience. Sometimes, the more bad things you do, the more disgusted you become about those actions, and you just don't do them.
Okies, so that is all.
