the part where Hannan talked about being in a state where you need to be alone and praying and looking forward to getting what you want (friendships etc.) is really beautifully said. But for me, being alone my entire life... can't help but see that this isolation that is still currently happening just worsend my character and just made me even more weird and bitter. Now of course nobody likes me.. YIKES
as a almost 24 year old who never had a real or deep friendship. This topic really depresses me. I just can't seem to connect to people my age or older, I just feel so alien. It's literally destroying me. People are meant to live in a community. I have nothing like it...
Ah, I have yet to watch this video, but I just came back to your channel and hoped you were back to posting, and Alhamdulillah you are! I remember watching you all the time in high school and benefitted so much from your content. I've been wearing my Hijab since young, but it got more difficult as I got older. Seeing your videos really reignited my Eemaan and inspired me. I even bought your "Buy Yourself Flowers" hoodie and to this day love it! I would also love to see the "Buy Yourself Flowers" slogan brought back into this channel somehow, it was such a nice reminder, maybe you could do reminders or a specific section for it. May الله سبحانه وتعالى bless you and your new journey sister! بارك الله فيك 🤧💞💞
MashAllah ❤ i relate to both of your stories, and its important to share this, so I really appreciate it Edit: not to be a nerd, but also small typo at around 25min mark
The end convo: I'm wondering if you want to be celebrated but "never had the opportunity" or you just don't like that kind of thing for yourself? It wasn't clear when you stated it. I'm not a celebration person personally, but I love celebrating other people that are big into or just want that. On my B-day I want to be in reflection mood, eating, going, and doing anything or nothing as I please. If my make plans to go eat on that day then wake up and not feel like it, which has happened, I just don't go and because it's an alone day, I don't have to worry about other people's feelings on the matter. I order all my favorite foods or cook and watch whatever. It my personal Whatever Floats My Boat Day. 😂❤😂
Honestly have the same difficulty as someone who moved to London as a 23YO after uni, getting married and becoming a new mum. But I’m glad I’m not alone as many have it hard at this age range🥹 may we find the best of friends in eachother Ameen
I feel like this is the type of content that I need in this period of my life. Just a deep conversations between two Muslim women, discussing life and religion. Also Shahd, it's a relief to see that you're back alhamdulillah. May Allah swt reward you two for spreading such positivity on this platform, Allahumma Ameen❤❤❤
I found your channel the perfect time. I’m in chapter of just slowing down letting God lead me the way and trusting everything will work out. Balancing the deen and dunya can be very hard but may Allah make this journey easier for us all🙏🏽
Assalamualiekum girls, thank you for this video. Im in the same boat as the both of you, we've all moved to Dubai and left behind our sisterhoods and friendships. Hearing you both speak, gave me some solace and helped me get through a tough day.
Don't take this the wrong way ladies, but does anyone else feel like this episode was a bit too surface level? It covered usual talking points on making friends, loneliness, and balancing friendships, but it didn't go beyond what we hear everywhere. Would love to hear more in-depth discussions with specific examples and personal experiences. It would be great if you could let us into your world a bit more to help make this topic more engaging and interesting. 💞
Amazing video made me emotional because we are all sharing this same experience. I really related to Hanan so much so thanks for sharing! I long for that sisterhood again but I’m also okay with being besties with myself and one homegirl who really has been an amazing support system for me and vice versa. May Allah allow us to befriend people that bring us closer to him ♡
100 things to do First .1.Halal Legal credit unions, Same Ways A to Z" Some 🕙 % of Halal& Haram? For example in Quran Kareem ," Muslims may to eat pork? Some terms & conditions ? Thanks Where Co- Education more chances sins? To see toxic natures? .
This is a blessing. To be able to have these conversations with another person openly. This level of communication is difficult to achieve esp in your 30s
This episode was like free therapy for me, it's always comforting to know that you are not the only one experiencing those relationships challenges , may Allah bless u keep this series going ❤️
This was excellent! I am 52, and I am just learning the importance of healthy friendships. Much of what you ladies are saying are things that I have recently contended with. I enjoyed this so much that I shared it with my daughter, who is your age. Great conversation.
Loved this video. I relate to this a lot!! As a person who is in her late twenties and moved on to another country. Please make a podcast that would be AMAZING!!😍❤️❤️❤️ May Allah bless both of you with everything you good you wish for and grand you the highest place in Jannah Ameen❤️
I absolutely agree with Hannan in terms of learning different things from different friends and not everyone has be exactly in the same place in life as you. Cherish the people around you 100!!!!
Thank you for talking about an important topics and also having safe space to share thoughts. Watching this episode is therapeutic. Please continue these episodes❤️
This is a well needed video ❤❤❤ I feel like I’m going into my loneliness faze and I totally understand everything that was said here so now I’m prepared for everything that’s coming my way
this may or may not help, but for me re-orienting myself and my outlook on my life has been so helpful. i noticed when i leaned into loneliness as an era of my life it set the stage subconsciously for how i viewed a lot of social interactions, and made me feel like things were progressively going downhill. now, i instead focus on myself rather than the lack of socialization with others and call it my "level up" era, where i spend all the new free time i have becoming the best version of myself i can be, so i can be the good friend i want when it's time to make new friends! watching videos like this are so helpful in that process like you said, and i really think coming into these phases with excitement and optimism for what's next is so helpful. when you really get into becoming the best version of yourself it becomes much easier to wait on those friends to come. <3
