To the Girl Who Feels Lost in Her 20s

-

To the girl who feels like everyone else has their life figured out except her,

I know how heavy it feels to wake up some days and not know where you’re going. To scroll through your phone and see people building their careers, getting married, chasing their dreams — while you’re still trying to understand yourself. To smile when people ask, “So what’s next for you?”

When the truth is… you don’t know. And maybe that scares you more than you let anyone see. Maybe you feel like you’re running out of time. Like you’re falling behind or like you missed some invisible deadline everyone else seems to be meeting.

But listen to me gently, okay?

You are not behind. You are not late. You are not failing at life just because your path doesn’t look like everyone else’s. You are in a chapter that most people don’t talk about — the in-between. The becoming. The unlearning. The quiet rebuilding of a self you are still getting to know. And I know it feels uncomfortable. It feels like standing in the middle of a road with no signs, no map, and no clear direction.

But what if this season isn’t you being lost…What if this is you being guided, slowly and softly, into the life that is meant for you?

Not rushed. Not forced. Not borrowed from someone else’s timeline. Just yours.

You are allowed to take your time figuring out what you want. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to start again as many times as you need. There is no shame in growing slowly. There is no failure in taking a path that is quiet, unseen, or different. And even on the days where you feel like you’re going nowhere…

Allah S.W.T. sees the steps you are taking in silence. The prayers you whisper. The effort you make even when you’re unsure.

Nothing about your journey is wasted. So if all you did today was wake up, try your best, and make it through — that is enough. You are still becoming. You are still unfolding. You are still on your way. And one day, you will look back at this version of you — the confused, searching, quietly hopeful version — and you will thank her for not giving up.

Until then, be gentle with yourself. You are allowed to find your way slowly.

With love,
Luna Ayra ðŸ’•

To The Eldest Daughter Who Grew Up Too Soon

-
To the eldest daughter who learned responsibility before she learned how to rest, I see you... You were the first experiment.  The first child your parents learned to raise. The one expected to understand things before you were old enough to. Somewhere along the way, childhood quietly slipped through your fingers. You became the responsible one. The strong one. The one who should now better. When your siblings cried, you were told to be patient. When things went wrong, you were expected to set the example. And slowly, without anyone noticing, you started carrying weight that was never meant for your shoulders. The pressure to succeed. The responsibility to help the family. The silent expectation to be mature, dependable and understanding. Sometimes, you wonder what it would feel like to just be the daughter - not the helper, not the fixer, not the one everyone relies on. Just the daughter. The truth is being strong for everyone can become a lonely place. But I want you to...
