It's been a while since I last posted! I got a lot of feedback on the No'Vice thang! I got an out pour of Facebook messages. My friends read the blog, but don't want to create their own, which is fine by me :) It can be a distraction and definitely a pain in the ass to maintain, so I totally understand. One question that hit me a little close to home was from a good family friend of mine. She is a really good kid, she prays, she listens to her family, she doesn't date, etc. Her issue is that she is in love with a guy her parents disapprove of. She is basically asking me for advice as to what she should do. Here goes...
Well, first off, parents have this inner feeling that is almost always true- call it instinct if you want... It's almost like they can predict the future!! Lol, it sucks to hear it but they are probably right about the guy. No matter how in love with him you are, you really need to look at why your parents don't like him. For example, my parents hated this one guy I liked. They just said they don't like the way he looks. Now obviously, I was like "wtf?!?" about it and didn't pay it any mind. I continued to hang out with him. We were basically dating, but not really, for almost 4 years. In this 4 year time frame, he put me through hell and back. I mean physical and emotional abuse, continuously, but I continued to stick around. Why, you ask? Because he was my first love. We make big mistakes when we are blinded by love. I know it sounds stupid and very cliche, but I think you need to get to know the guy more, before you hurt your family by going behind their back and doing what you want. Not everyone has a bad experience, but I did....so my two cents would be to take things really slow. Get to know the guy's family and get to know the guy before you end up breaking more than just your heart. </3
On a brighter note, I did really well on my LSAT and got into John Marshall School of Law in Chicago. Too bad my parents won't let me go. I know it's ridiculous. You might wonder, why would you apply if your parents wouldn't let you go? Well, my dad told me to go ahead and apply thinking I wouldn't get in (thanks for having faith in me, dad. PSHHH.), and when I did, he was happy for me. Things are just not where they need to be right now, though. I need my relationship to be stronger before on depart on a path I'm not entirely sure about. Plus, my dad is recovering from surgery and I myself am not in perfect health. So with all these factors, I think I'll take a semester off from school and start in the fall. Inshallah, this is what is best for me :) Until next time.....
