My dear daughter....

My dear daughter,

The perception of oneself by others can vary greatly, depending on the lens through which they view you. It is important to recognize that people's perspectives are influenced by their upbringing, beliefs, and individual experiences. Consequently, the way you are perceived does not necessarily reflect your true character.

In the narratives of some individuals, you may be portrayed as a terrible person, while in the stories of others, you may be seen as a Godsend. However, these perceptions are not indicative of your actual self. Some people may find your bright personality endearing, while others may find it annoying. Likewise, some may perceive you as weak and emotional, whereas others may feel comfortable being themselves around you. There are those who consider you rude and selfish, but at the same time, others respect your ability to stand up for yourself. Similarly, while some admire your pride in your appearance, others may perceive it as conceit. 

It is crucial to remember that none of these perceptions define who you truly are. You should not attempt to control how others see you because you have no authority over their perspectives. Ultimately, when the day comes to a close, the only thing that truly matters is how you genuinely see yourself—your own perception of your character and worth.


Your loving Mom

The Shifting Sands of Parenthood in Pakistan: Are We Raising Entitled Children?

 It's disheartening to observe how modern child-rearing practices in Pakistan seem to have inadvertently turned parents into servants of their children. The essence of parenthood has become clouded by anxiety over fulfilling materialistic demands and a pervasive sense of guilt. My daughter once remarked that many children in Pakistan are "entitled, spoiled brats" with an inflated sense of self-importance. This, I believe, is a consequence of contemporary parenting styles that over-pamper children, fostering overconfidence without a foundation of real-world understanding. Parenting should not be about raising selfish, self-absorbed individuals who are ill-equipped to face the realities of the world. Our goal should be to nurture compassionate, empathetic human beings who contribute to society with kindness and a sense of humanity. Another significant challenge is the interference of relatives in a child's upbringing. All too often, an aunt, uncle, or other close relati...

Dearest Young Girls ❤️

 The way you treat your mother reflects how life will treat you. A mother embodies love and life itself. A mother's love is unconditional—something no one else can provide. Don't judge her without understanding her. How often have you taken the time to listen to her? Have you engaged in conversations about her past? She may never have shared the struggles she endured before you came into her life. Consider the wounds she carries, the scars that reopen with each memory. Think of her painful past, the difficult moments when no one listened, and the mistreatment that left lasting impressions of harsh words, fears, and social abuse. Remember, your mom was once a lively, carefree soul, unburdened by worries or responsibilities. She lived a vibrant life full of energy, but everything changed with your birth. Suddenly, she began a new journey as a mother, transforming from a carefree girl into a protector, a responsible caregiver. Gradually, she started to lose herself, living solely ...
