I was having a conversation on MSN with my best friend today and yesterday about a certain subject. She is away on vacation for a month in Jordan and stuck 24/7 in front of her parents. She is at the point where I was or still am in my life. The parents that drive her crazy and want her to get married and have a life. She kept complaining that she felt like she has no direction in life and she is feeling old and ugly (she is very pretty by the way). She is exactly a year younger then me and cursed with the Capricorn traits. hehe.. aren’t we all? I just told her to be patient and avoid Geminis! Anyways, she kept complaining to me cause who else will listen and help her with her dilema? She said she is getting mad and angry so much like an old bitter lady. She kept talking about how much she changed and becoming too serious and gloomy. As she was telling me these things I felt like I was reading my blog all over again. I mean the only reason we get along and we are friends is because her life is no different than mine. However, I had suffered longer than she has and I am older.
Out of no where I was trying to be more of an adult and trying to be realistic. I wasn’t going to say things to just make her temporarily happy. I was giving her advice that I should have given my self a year ago. So I kept telling her to just accept life and not try too hard to find someone, and thinking that life will be better if she had a guy. Then I thought to my self, yah that’s good advice. I should practice what I preach eh? Then I told her to be realistic. People younger than us are getting engaged and married. How many of those girls have a successful marriage? How many of them just marry for the sake of marriage and not love? I told her we both had a relationship that deemed unsuccessful. We were trapped and we decided to free our selves from it. I told her can you imagine if we were just traditional Arabs and just had an arrange marriage or something stupid like that and had a miserable life? We would be divorced! So what’s better? A bad relationship to learn from or divorce? I don’t know if I convinced her, but I think she wants the whole experience of engagement and marriage and getting away from her parents. Like most Arab girls!
So what to do? I don’t know. For me I don’t care anymore. I don’t believe in love anymore. All a bunch of mambo jumbo. I do believe in destiny and just waiting for life to take it’s course.

My name is Mona and I am an internet savvy and technology obsessed girl. I am originally Palestinian and I live in the province of Ontario in Canada. That's some info about me, and you can learn more [
She passed by me as I was walking down the street with her tight white pants, short shirt, and an underwear streak that is as visible as lightning in the night. I never understood such motives of covering your hair with a veil or scarf, and your body being as visible as daylight. [
In other words, gossip. Ladies and gentleman, tonight I shall discuss the biggest sin known to man, gossip. Since I am an Arab representative, and I tend to speak on behalf of Arab ideology, I will not reiterate that again today, ... [
... Love, it is such an obscure concept in a male oriented culture. I noticed that some Arab men believe in love, and others, well, if the girl is not like his mother, he will never ever love her. [
... So Arabs don’t discuss love at all? It is forbidden? Are Arabs so secretive? Or is it a blasphmey to even discuss it? You know what the problem is with Arabs and love? The problem is that they don’t know how to love someone before they get married to them. [
A girl this morning asked me by email about living a double life in an Arabic culture. The cause and reasoning of why this thing is quite common within Arab societies. Especially for us that live here in the western world. [

Yeh your friend sounds like she’s in the
same boat you’re in. But she thinks finding a guy and getting married to him is going to solve everything, but it’s not. What’s so sad is that her parents could care less about her feelings. They’re only thinking of themselves.

She is just a minority, most girls like the ones they marry, even if their family help them find them…she should accept her parents wisdom and not become a western slut.

I find it funny that you used the word slut and your preaching Islam.
