your daughter would be happy to learn to cook and bake and sew and clean if you taught it to all your children as basic life skills. now she's in her 20s and learning off the internet and you're missing out of bonding time w her bec you think she's born to serve someone else

I think often about what it must mean to lose someone irretrievably and then how you must feel to find them again in someone else: the grief, the love, the gratitude, the fear, the way you wait at the edge of the water so it’ll ripple the same way twice

A good daughter can't be a happy daughter. A happy daughter can't be a good daughter. The only way for you to protect your own happiness and live your life is to lie to your parents. Learn this as early as you can. Sacrifice will get you nowhere with them.

When a grandparent dies, they take with them the part of you that you barely remember but that they always see when they look at you. When a grandparent dies, it's like receiving news that your childhood self has passed away. You've lost two family members in one go.

Instead of being jealous of friends or cousins for having more mobility, realize that their mobility also requires some lying. Every parent has some unrealistic expectations; stop trying to meet your parents' demands. They're designed to control, not to be actually met.

Muslim men consider Andrew Tate because he is a power fantasy to them: a man who can abuse women and get away with it. They don't consider Bella Hadid Muslim because Muslim men's fantasy Muslim woman is a wife they can abuse and subjugate. And it's always about their fantasies

Sacrifice will not earn you unconditional trust or some lifetime pass to be free once you reach a certain level. The expectations will only increase as you show compliance, as you age, etc. You have to drag them down either with outright rebellion or by lying.

This is Peoples Bus, bought a few months ago. Not the elite but the working class benefits from such initiatives. It took years for such a service to arrive in Karachi. One bus approx cost around 8 crore PKR, and 4 such buses are completely burnt or destroyed.

if you're a good daughter who's also a happy daughter, one of these two factors might be at play:
1. Your parents' love is actually unconditional (so rare it's almost unbelievable)
2. Your identity already conforms to most/all of your parents' demands so you don't need to rebel.
