I think it's like the old stereotype that nothing tastes as good as your mum's cooking. You're used to a certain thing and another style seems weird. Though to be fair I've never tried Dutch mayonnaise, I may taste it and never settle for anything else again.
That does make sense. Especially since I haven't been to too many places outside of holland and england. Been to germany couple of times though.
Welcome Walal,
Fellow Somali here. I can understand what you're going through. I mentioned on another thread that I never loved Allah. I was more afraid. Allah behaves like an spoiled idiot, look at the rain and you dont worship me so I will wait till you die and burn you for all eternity. What kind of bullshyt is that horta?
Creating people different for the sole purpose that we can know each other (WTF, as if that is a reason), and then burning the larger part of humanity, turning around claiming to be the most merciful. Ultimate Saqachanimo! Dheeg ha u digin deentan bas (dont give this horrid religion an ear), get your education, try to have a decent relationship with your folks but if they refuse realize that even though its hurtful life goes on. It would be worse to live your life a shell of who you are to placate the emotions of others.
Your parents will pass away and you will be faced with yourself, live your life for yourself. That doesnt mean you forget about family, it means be decent but dont be a fool.
Rant over did I say welcome already? lol Sodhawow!
Hello, nice to know that there are fellow somalis. It makes it that more believable that my situation is surmountable
Yeah I had pondered about those specific problems too. Although, other dilemmas such as the contradiction in trying to love someone by also fearing it. That never clicked with me. It was also very problematic for me to see the prophet muhammad as a PERFECT rolemodel for all muslims, ever since I learned of his marriage with aisha. I mean fuck! The imaam/sheiks in my mosque werent even denying her age. They simply spouted some nonsense as to how girls in those times were more mature than nowadays. It is just absurd. However, I am afraid having a decent relationship with my parents is near to impossible to achieve. I have very little in common with them. I can hardly talk to them openly about something before they start in lecture mode. I remember, when I was reading a manga book I got from a nearby library (it was deathn ote, a phenomenal series btw) he found it and read a page and when I came home already started to tell me how I am wasting my time, with this weird book.You should read Quran etc... and this goes on pretty much on repeat whenever I have a dispute with them. This basicly is why I dont even feel comfortable at home anymore. I can only talk straight business with them, hardly anything else.
Yeah hopefully I strategy plan pans out of studying psychology, with a placement year. Cause, living on my own is probably the only for me now to escape this toxic environment and build a more honest relationship with my parents.
Sorry for a sudden follow-up story, but it had to come out. I never really experienced a forum as much, definetly not a forum where I didnt need to put my guard up. So yeah, all I can say is do expect some incoherent rambling from to time, everyone. Sorry
