Taboo
The reason behind my why
Time and tide wait for no one. Life is a sprinting race of the survival of the fittest, you have to hustle your way to the top. We all have heard this haven't we, while existence is over-commodified and hyper-fixated on the materialistic drawls we achieve and external praise that is showered upon us on striding on the contingencies of the timeline that is presented to us, we often forget living with intent and gratitude for all that we have and run in the rat race of proving our worth and accomplishing what we need to, essentially not even wanting to be a part of this glorified way of living, yet doing so to be validated and accepted as someone worthy. If you have been through this or are going through this, I want to remind you that you are not alone.

Tuesday, 28 May 2024 By TB Obwoge I've written about the issues of racism and colorism in Africa before, as a matter of fact it is one of my favorite topics because its the most ignored topic. Black Africans, mostly, are so quick to proclaim that they're the most accepting people in the world. Even claiming they're too accepting. Which is really odd because skin color and shade matters more to a Black African to even some white people.

The Schizophrenic MomPublished 3 days ago in Confessions Muslim Pronouns
The term "pronoun" (they/them) has become normalized over the past decade, often used to refer to individuals who identify as non-binary or genderqueer. This concept, commonly referred to as third gender, has been a topic of much discussion. I've often wondered about its origins and why some people reject the traditional binary understanding of gender as male and female. While I can't speak for Western and European beliefs, it is universally known that humanity began with the creation of the first man and woman, and traditionally, there are only two genders as created by God. Each is destined to play their specific roles.However, the notion of a third gender is seen by some as a human-made concept with hidden agendas that have impacted our generation negatively. In Western cultures, there might not be as clear a moral objection to this as there is in Islamic teachings. As Muslims, we are taught from birth about the sinfulness of adultery and the severe punishments that come with it, as clearly outlined in the Quran, particularly in the story of the people of Lut.Despite these teachings, a significant number of individuals in the Muslim community identify with the LGBTQ+ spectrum. This raises the question: why have some Muslims embraced this when our faith provides clear guidance against it? Many interpret religious texts to suit their personal beliefs and circumstances, simplifying what is forbidden in Islam.This article will explore whether such actions are considered a forgivable sin in Islam or if they warrant severe punishment, shedding light on the implications for Muslims who grapple with these issues.

We had reached Saturday am , failing to take my anti depressants on the evening before I woke with a killer headache and felt as rough as a badgers backside.

Rape is a particularly complex crime to analyse. In several parts of the world, it is very rarely reported. Women in some countries are much less likely to have their complaint recorded, due to the extreme social stigma cast on women who have been raped, or subjected to violence or the fear of being disowned by their families.
