Couple of months ago in
class I was talking to my students about how me and them were ages apart.. And
how we are separated by a generation gap.. To their surprise (well, some of them)
and to my surprise, they didn’t seem to think what I was saying was true.. And
so that day went by in me being in a state of temporary happiness having been
thought I was younger than my age! :p
When of course my dear I am
beginning to feel the signs of aging and whatever else that comes with it. And
so that is life.. one moment you’re looking up for beauty tips to clear up acne then the
next minute you’re trying on anti-wrinkle cream or worse, using an ingenious
app on your phone that transforms your picture into some flawless young version of you..
Not that I’ve tried any of the latter.. but I’m just saying..
Anyway my
dearest Wawa, I pray Allah gives me the time and health to be there for you if
you need any beauty tips in the future. I may not be able to look like your
sister or a young and stylish mum by the time you reach that age where your looks matter, but at least I’ll
be able to give you some sound advice.. ;)
The most important thing is to be beautiful all around.. especially inside. Have a kind heart, think good of others and always remain positive..
Whoever beautifies himself on the inside, Allah will beautify him on the outside.
