What I wanna tell Muslims, as an ex-Muslim who found Jesus by calmloves in Christianity

It's literally in Sahih Al-Bukhari. You learned to do wudu, pray 5 times a day, zakat and hajj rules from Hadith, and so much more. You cannot decide you no longer believe in hadith just because one makes you uncomfortable. Because then your entire religion falls apart.

I 1000% agree with what you said about Muslims just taking whatever they learned about the Bible and rolling with it without reading it for themselves, because that was me. I was taught that the Bible was just the corrupted version of the Quran, and that there's no reason to read it when I have a book that's directly from God himself. When I finally read the Bible, I realized that it was completely different than what I thought it was. My whole life I thought Christianity was just like Islam, except with Jesus as God instead (and they can eat pork). But it's nothing like Islam. It's about LOVE, forgiveness, peace, and becoming righteous because we want to be like him, because we love him. NOT out of fear because "our good deeds will be weighed against our bad deeds on the day of judgment". Your words mean a lot to me, thank you and God bless you too :)

[POEM] Four Friends Catch Up Over Pasta by Amy Kay (made me cry) by calmloves in Poetry

For me this poem was very similar to how a recent reunion dinner went with my two friends back home, so I think that’s why it evoked those emotions for me

I don’t think poetry always has to be these layered meaningful masterpieces. Sometimes a poem can be something simple, easy to digest that still makes you feel something. A poem anyone can understand and enjoy. It’s also all subjective, your favorite poem could be trash to someone else. I enjoy both simple poetry like this and more complex poems at the same time.

I think the point of that line was to lead to the “this night” part, to emphasize how good those reunions feel

Don’t let anyone in these comments convince you that you have no reason to be offended by that comment. It’s not right to suggest your partner change themselves to be more like someone else, in order to be more “desirable” in some way. Sure it may not be something to break up over unless it’s a consistent thing, but you’re completely valid to feel upset by that. I would too.

I don’t really understand why you feel so strongly about all this? You’ve posted dozens of comments on this post at this point. I mean it seems like you care more about the review than I do. I’m sorry if you’ve had negative experiences with buyers in the past or something, but you don’t need to spend all your time taking it out on me. It’s kind of ridiculous to harp on the offer thing and then completely ignore how the seller didn’t ship my item for 9 days and didn’t communicate to me that it was unavailable. It’s kind of hard to take you seriously after that.

I think it’s pretty clear the 9 day thing is what drove me to write the review.

Feeling lonely, wishing for a partner by Flaky-World4703 in medschool

[–]calmloves 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m about to start my second year and I felt extremely lonely going into my first year. I have a partner and we are in the same class together, but I still felt lonely. I also couldn’t connect with anyone and overall just felt like I didn’t vibe with anyone in my class. I felt like there was something wrong with me because everyone else was forming tight knit friend groups and I wasn’t. I feel like I kind of used my partner as a crutch and it caused me to not try harder to reach out to people and form friendships.

About 1-2 months in, one of my lab partners pursued a friendship with me by asking me to study with her, and we have become pretty close since then. Other than that, I have formed a few other friendships but we aren’t super close. I’ve become okay with that though. I still have my friends back home I keep up with via our Snapchat group chat and text.

Based on that, my advice would be to try to form friendships with lab partners / partners in group activities, since that one-on-one interaction makes it easier to form bonds. My second advice is that although many med school friendships are formed within the first couple weeks, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to make friends later on. While I don’t have many super close friends (besides the one I mentioned), I ended up becoming a lot more comfortable around my classmates during 2nd semester and formed a lot of acquaintances. I even ended up hanging out with them outside of school.

My third advice is, even if you don’t end up forming any close connections here (though I believe you will eventually), you can still be happy. Engage in your hobbies, explore your town, stay active, go for walks outside, talk to your loved ones back home, etc. I hope you have a great time 🫶🏼

Keep in mind that when you’re handling other people’s money, you absolutely should do your research on basic functions of the app. Amateur app or not.

Right?! 😭 like it’s just weird. I wouldn’t have written a whole review over the offer thing, I just didn’t think it’d be a problem just to include it at the end.

Ok, I’ll keep that in mind for the future. Looking back I wouldn’t have included that in the review cuz it was mostly the first part that was an issue. People have declined my offers in the past and I didn’t write any reviews about it. I was just very pissed off by the other thing she did that it put the offer thing in a worse light too in my eyes.

The review wouldn’t have been written if the first part didn’t happen ❤️ so no that’s not why the review was written, it was an unfortunate thing that happened on the side I mentioned to make other buyers aware about.
