This is a re-write of the 25 things about me post that I'd thought I'd do for fun as things have really changed since the last post which you can find here.
- I love cats and anything cute, although my definition of cute is more like silly
- I have 2 beautiful children under the age of 5 who I love dearly and who I think of as my little kitties sometimes.
- I don’t know what to do with my life - I used to want to program video games but now I’m not so sure about that anymore
- I haven't finished playing a video game since having kids - I keep starting them only to drop them mid-way.
- I want to die young doing something that pleases Allah.
- I honestly don’t see the point of asking for a long life when we’re going to die one day and live our forever lives in the hereafter - may Allah grant us all Jannat Al Firdous without hisab.
- I love learning about respectful parenting and learning to parent the way the Prophet (saw) did
- I live in Pakistan now after living in Saudi for most of my life and it honestly has it’s plus points and negative points.
- I love talking about psychology with my sister - I love hearing her ideas and sharing what I’ve learned as well.
- After finally experiencing seasons, spring is my favourite season - it’s not too hot and not too cold, also the fruits are delicious.
- I love oranges in the winter.
- Fruits in Pakistan taste the best - this is’t much of a fact about me as it an opinion. Although I consider it a fact.
- My favourite Pakistani sweets are gulab jamen and barfee.
- I’m lactose intolerant so I have to take lactaid before eating anything with milk in it.
- I love dipping Sooper cookies into a freshly made hot cup of tea. Let’s just say I’ve turned into a tea lover.
- One of my favourite places to shop for books is from tadabburbooks.
- I love the smell of coffee.
- My favourite exercise is running.
- I’ve got stomach problems - can’t really eat spicy food otherwise my stomach gets upset. Outside food is also a problem.
- I’m a terrible designer. Been trying to design something for a blog idea but haven’t gotten anywhere
- I am on bipolar medication - I nearly had.a full blown manic episode in the summer but alhamdulilah because of my family and Allah’s guidance I was protected.
- My medication makes me very sleepy and restless - sometimes sitting still can be very painful.
- I am not ashamed of being bipolar and would like to talk to people about my experience.
- My husband is my best friend - after my sister Sundus of course :p
- Travelling with small children can make me anxious but I like travelling to different places with my small family and would like to do more travelling in the future.
