me pretending i have enough social experience to make an mbti chart ...🥀

this is literally just based on the people i've met irl + my online friends, so it's very much biased and personal… my sample size is tiny lmao....

some placements are based on genuine experience and some are just me being silly lmaooo

anyway i had sm fun making this 😭🫶 ( yes i am that stereotypical infp )

the second slide was necessary btw :)

Basically a visual representation of the person I would be if I had my life together.

Anyway, INFPs, what would you put in yours? 😭

a little life in shades of green...

So I was studying and couldn't focus, so obviously instead of studying I opened Reddit

andd here I saw a post about INTP x INFP....and umm... that got me curious

So naturally I went on Pinterest to look at INTP x INFP stuff for “just a minute”

And BROOO

I ended up finding INFP x ENFJ, INFP x ISTP, INFP x ESTP, INFP x INTP... and then I started looking at “INFP compatibility” and apparently we're compatible with like EVERYONE 😭😭😭

Cozz whenever I search it, it's always something different... ENFP. ENFJ. ISTJ. INTP. INFJ. And then probably five more depending on which website I open ...like fr

meanwhile my INFJ friend once told me that since ENTP is supposedly one of his most compatible types, he actually does find ENTPs attractive. And my ENTP friend says she finds INFJs SO cute and that they're basically made for each other

And I'm just sitting here like...

WHERE IS MY DESIGNATED TYPE????

Coz I wanna do that too ...I wanna be able to pick a type and be like “yeahhh this is my fictional dynamic, I'm going to romanticize this for the next six months”

Andd honestly the Pinterest artists are making this WORSE because why are all these ships drawn so beautifullyyy 😭💗 (like so why so pretty and dreamy and ...)

I'll see one and be like “wait... this is actually so cute" Then I'll see another and go “okay but this one though...” Then another...

And suddenly I'm making fake scenarios in my head with 7 different MBTI types while my textbook is sitting untouched...

I've also never been in a relationship, so I have literally NO idea which type I'd actually be attracted to in real life ... Like maybe I'll meet someone one day and he won't even be any of the types I spent hours daydreaming about...

But for now I need to know...INFPs, what type do u actually find attractive / have u had the best chemistry with ?? (Mostly they r saying it's enfj ig)

and do you have that onee type you always end up romanticizing, or are we all just out here collecting fictional MBTI ships?

and these drawings are so pretty btw 😭 I found them on Pinterest and don't know the original artists, so if anyone recognizes them please let me know the credits!!

(Ik it's corny...I should go study fr now)

Umm well… where do I even start

So yesterday while everyone was having dinner, I was journaling... After writing I just put my diary in my bag and forgot about it. It’s not like I even write my actual secrets in my diary btw ...obviously I can’t because somewhere in the back of my mind I always knew she’d read it one day

AND GUESS WHATTT

I woke up for Fajr today and saw my diary LYING ON HER BED .. UGHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭

Yeah...I genuinely don’t know what to say. It just feels like such an invasion of privacy (I know, I know, privacy in a desi household is basically a myth but stilll...)

Lately my family has been pretty overprotective...I understand why, especially since I’m the youngest, and I know they love me Alhamdulillah. I love them too. But sometimes it gets really overwhelming and I don’t know how to deal with it. I’m also not very good at communicating my feelings...That’s actually one of the reasons I journal... It’s easier for me to write things down than to sit someone down and explain what I’m feeling...khair.

And it’s not only my diary either… She sometimes reads my friends chats too. I don’t hate her or anything (coz I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with friendships, so I do understand where she’s coming from) and I know she’s probably doing it because she cares about me... but I still feel like I need some sort of personal space

The problem is I’m scared that if I actually tell her to stop... she’ll just become even more protective of me

(Also the other day she read the letter I wrote for my other Appi’s future self 😭 which is honestly so embarrassing because why was I writing a letter for someone to read in 2030 in the first place 😭🙏 I really thought I was being deep and now it has been exposed four years early...LIKE HELLO???.. Why am I like this 😭🙏)

Anyway..how do you guys actually communicate boundaries with your family?

Especially when your family is loving and protective and you don’t want them to think that asking for privacy means you’re hiding something or pushing them away... How do you make them understand that you can love them and still need some things to be private?

Umm i was trying to sleep after praying tahajjud...but my brain decided to play all of the things that happened today...and I remembered I experienced one of the most embarrassing moments of my life today (Not really )

So today was Sunday, and we went for shopping coz obviously Sundays are meant for going out, right? Well... we forgot that Sundays are for everyone. The entire town decided to show up at the mall.
Anyways...

We entered the mall...and my appi wanted to buy stuff for the house first... She told me, "We'll shop for your things later" I was so happy...

But i didn't know What she actually meant was that I'd be following her around the entire mall for the next 3 hours with the trolley. ..

Khair... At one point, I got so tired that I told her, "Appi, I'm going to look for my own things now"
She was like "Okay, go"

Now guess where I went first...the snacks section. (Obv.. clothes can wait) I don't know what it is about the snacks aisle, but it's just so peaceful...I was literally standing there comparing different chips, looking at the flavours, checking the prices...

When suddenly...

I felt a tiny tug on the sleeve of my burqa.

Before I could even turn around....i heard,

"Mama"

I froze...

Before i could even process that...she goes like...

"Mama, waha chalo na toys lene"
"Mama, please"
"Mama, chips baad mein lelena"

GNG .... I AIN'T YOUR MAMA!!!! 😭😭😭

I genuinely forgot how to function for a second...I just stood there without even turning around....like?!?!

Then I heard a man say "Beta, woh mummy nahi hai hahahaha"
...I turned around.

It was her dad..THIS MAN WAS LAUGHING 😭

And for some reason...I smiled ((I genuinely don't know why....like why did I smile bhai)

Then the little girl looked at me and realized ki i am not her mama...somehow she looked even more embarrassed than I was

She immediately started saying "Sorry! Sorry!" ..and literally ran away while her dad was still laughing and trying to catch up with her (UNCLE....HASNA KYA THA ISME?? )

Then I looked at one of the employees..she was trying so hard not to smile (matlab itni bhi koi badi baat nahi hai...aesa toh hota rehta hai haina?...isme kya hasna)

Khair ... I quietly went and stood behind my bhabhi...

ONLY TO REALIZE...SHE WAS LAUGHING TOO...ufff

A little while later, I saw the little girl again with her actual mom...and honestly...It made so much sense...Our burqas looked almost identical....Same style...Same niqab..Everything.. From a little kid's height... I completely understand why she got confused

I even caught myself thinking "Oh......so that's what I look like in a burqa"😭

Also...Her mom had really pretty eyes....like mine (I am js coping atp)

Anyways...I was so embarrassed that I didn't even buy my chips...I literally waited until everyone had left before sneaking back to grab my usual snacks...I don't think I'll ever look at the chips aisle the same way again...like wdym I was someone's mama for approximately 17 seconds

ok y'all i need help 😭😭

I'm DONE with romance for a while...

I'm on a STRICT no-romance diet... Like genuinely....I have consumed enough fictional men for one lifetime...My standards are already in the stratosphere and I refuse to make the situation worse😭✋

i don't need another 6'4 emotionally unavailable man who only speaks in smirks and trauma. i need THERAPY (Maybe? [Obv] idk)

PLEASE recommend me a book that's just... insane

i want the kind of book where you finish it and immediately have to sit in silence for a minute...ki bhai yeh kya padhh liyaaaa

literally any genre is fine....mystery, thriller, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, historical, non-fiction, Kuchhhhh bhiii , idc...

i just don't want romance. like at all. like zara sa bhi nahi...if two people start looking at each other a little too long i'm closing the book 😭

drop your "i wish i could read this again for the first time" books because i'm in the biggest reading slump and i need something that will absolutely wreck my brain (respectfully)

(pls... i'm starving)

Edit: One comment was all it took to make me realise this is considerably cornier than I believed it to be at midnight. I have reviewed the evidence and, regrettably, the claim has merit.

Mhm kya hi likhu...

I hate saying goodbye...like it's just a very ughhh feeling

And pata nahi kyu ...situation aesi ban jaati hai jahan mujhe hi logo ko goodbye bolna padta hai.

(Like no I don't want to say goodbye...I want u to stay ...but at the same time no ...coz I am saying goodbye for a reason...but like just be here for ..2 min 5 min 10min hamesha? )

Koi hamesha hamare sath kyu nahi reh saktaa...

It hurts 💔

Don't want to say goodbye...just stay...sablog...aaplog sab chhor ke chale kyu jaate ho?

Khair...Allah ne uss shaks ko hamare zindagi mein sirf utne waqt ke liye hi rakha hota hai...jab tak ham dono wo na seekh le jo seekhane ke liye ham ek dusre ki zindagi mein aaye hai(wth am I even writing anymore...uff I can't)

Fi amanillah (so sad so beautiful)

Comebackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 🥀🥀🥀

Mine (in no particular order because that's impossible 😭):

Gajar ka halwa
Rasmalai
Malai barfi
Shahi tukda
Ice cream & cake

your turn!!

Saw this meme and immediately remembered something that happened recently 😭💗

So this one uncle came to give qurbani ka gosht to us and my appi opened the door...

She didn't know him so she asked, "Aap kon hai?"

And uncle was like, "What? Mujhe bhul gaye?"

My sis was like, "Umm... your name?"

And uncle probably realized ki naam bata ke bhi kuch nahi hone wala 😭

So he goes...

"Are mujhe kaise bhul gaye... tu chotaa baccha tha, main tujhe road cross karwata tha... jab tu madarsa jata tha."

He literally said this like a song 😭

Then my appi was like,

"Ohhhh uncle, that must be my little sis." (Lil sis is me)

And uncle was like,

"Ohhhhhh bohot same dikhte tum dono."

WHICH IS CRAZY because we literally don't 😭✋(Pata nahi logon ko hum dono same kyu lagte hain.)

Then my appi remembered he's actually my brother's friend and both of them said Allah Hafiz and that was that.

BUT... The road-crossing wali kahani is actually real

Like for some reason mujhe road cross karna nahi aata tha. I think I was around 10 or 11...

Toh bachpan se my brother, sisters, parents, teachers, and even my friends used to help me cross roads.

Like meri ek friend ka ghar literally dusri direction mein tha after school but pehle woh mujhe road cross karwati thi and THEN apne ghar jaati thi 😭💗

Like omg???

Wdym people were out there holding my hand and making sure I got home safely???

I love them sm 😭💗

Khair.

When I used to go to madarsa, my brother's shop was on the way...

Most of the time my brother would help me cross the road, but if he was busy... this uncle would...

He used to ask me what I learned in madarsa that day, teach me random little things, and then help me cross the road...

That's literally it 😭

I thought he would've forgotten me...

But apparently some people remember the most random things...

And now I've found out that my childhood legacy is...

girl who needed assistance crossing roads 💀

Which is lowkey embarrassing 😭

But also kinda cute because it reminds me how many people were looking out for little me ..💗💗

thinking of making a skribbl room

zero artistic talent required because i have none either 🥲🥀

if enough people are down i'll make a room and drop the link

(MAGHRIB Ke baad dekhte hai 🥲)

bhaiii mera har saal ka yahi drama hai 😭

mehendi ke liye pinterest open karo… itne pretty pretty designs dekho… phir ekdam hi confused ho jao ...because literally kuch samajh hi nahi aata hain🥲

Anddd jab sis poochti hai “konsi lagani hai” toh end mein wahi simple si tippu tippu circle wali mehendi lagwa lo 💔

now i genuinely don’t know what vibe to go for 😭 simple? detailed? Minimalistic ?? floral?

because EVERY person i’ve ever made that dua about got removed from my life almost instantly 💔💀

like i’ll be emotional at 2am making heartfelt duas…

then BOOM next day:

they start acting strange

we stop talking

i suddenly notice every red flag i ignored (i love to live in delusion ✋🏼🎀)

or Allah removes them so cleanly there’s not even a comeback arc 😭

and the worst part is i’ll be crying throwing up devastated like “ya Allah why would this happen to me 😔😔”

then halfway through being dramatic i remember…

oh wait.

i literally asked for this 😭😭😭

The scary part is the reasons always end up making perfect sense later...

atp i make that dua and get scared to check my phone the next morning...

need to hear other people’s experiences because there is NO way it’s just me

I was just sitting and thinking about how Urdu is such a beautiful language. It literally has a word for every tiny emotion, doesn't it?

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with these two:

🎀 Ikhtiyar (إختیار)

🎀 Shayad (شاید)

They both sound so whimsical and soft, but they carry such a deep, heavy meaning at the same time...

One is all about having that power or agency, and the other is just that beautiful, lingering "maybe" that makes life feel like a movie...(😭🫶🏼)

What about you guys??? What’s that one word that you think is just chef’s kiss???
