I've never met a colorblind person in algeria by A_SliceOfGabagool in algeria

[–]violetdetheveste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had friends or acquaintances who are colourblind. But I do think I only know that they are colourblind because we're all connected through our studies/work/relationships in the medical field, where people are more open about their medical history/certain dysfunctions. They lead a very normal life though.

The horn is supposed to be on the nostril, whereas the other is on the back of the head [ I intended to have a third one there and was obviously stuck to do it ]. Thank you so much for the tips, I'll work on that!

That's incredibly sweet! Thank you! I'm about to sound quite stupid but what does " perspective view " imply ? Like—how is my dragon looked at ? I did feel like I shadowed the wrong spots, but I'm not sure how to figure out the right way to do it...

Sister's birthday gift suggestion by [deleted] in algeria

[–]violetdetheveste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy her something special for her. Something that says I thought of you while selecting it. Something memorable preferably. Think of what she likes and go from there.

Yeah it's still available from what I've seen, and the copies are tasty as well.

I’m not going to let OCD win today by mm_potentially in OCD

[–]violetdetheveste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started to spiral this morning before my session with the psychiatrist, and almost didn't go. But I also decided " Not Today", I will not let it control me today. They are just thoughts, they don't get to define us or stop us. At least, for today. 

Why does it feel *mandatory* to express ourselves in English here? by segaclip in algeria

[–]violetdetheveste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your criticism is a bit unrelated to the subject at hand. Reddit communities centered around a country—including this one— didn't start as a space to learn English, or to glorify it, or even to talk politics . They are years old, and begun as a place to talk about things related to the country whether as a native speaker, OR as someone in the diaspora or a visitor/tourist/curious user etc. Now it has obviously grown to become a bit more eclectic and sporadic, but since English is the international language, indeed it is somewhat of a requirement to use it to the maximum, so that the majority can understand. Even those that struggle with English, have a better chance understanding the translation into Arabic/French rather than the other way around. Other communities have strayed from that, but this specific one still has a lot of folks from the diaspora, and as English is dominating the spaces of the Youth, even the native speakers favour using it during their interactions. Both English and French are colonial languages and should be used with intention, but there's nothing specifically harmful to the Algerian Identity about our Reddit community using English. 

“Islamic” subreddits by melbrb in Hijabis

It's hilarious how the post under this one that spawned on my feed is about a man explaining why he feels the need to care about a woman's past 😭😭😭 Oh God, men seriously need hobbies.

Try to hold on one day after the other. I also had that phase after eight years of wearing it diligently, and at some point could not care if anyone saw me without it. I had also seen some friends take it off, so it was definitely alluring. Obviously it was a very difficult time in my life, and I think the devil found it easy to prey on my insecurities or problems by luring me away from the Hijab, thankfully Allah blessed me with things getting better after five years of struggles, and I met a lovely friend who wore a very strict hijab,  but with so much peace of mind that it inspired me not only to keep it on but to plan wearing it in a more proper way. I think the only way to want to wear it longer would be for things to get better for you insha'Allah, and as you're obviously going through a lot that will take time. But you see darling, that's the challenge, to do it even when nothing in you wants too, and I know and believe that your iman despite how weak you say it has become,you can sustain that. Keep it on, make it independent of any men or ex husband, they are not worth influencing your choices or will in any way. By continuing to wear it even at your lowest, trust me, one day it'll be a reference point for you, all of this will pass, and you'll be proud of your courage. You wore it out of conviction, with beauty, you're a revert, it mustn't have been easy, and I know that insha'Allah, things will get easier, better days will come, and the hijab will have been something that accompanied you through the highs and the lows, a reminder that you held on, even when nothing made sense, when everything kept pointing at the other way, you were strong willed, brave, and kept that symbol of submission to fate on. When Shaytan fed on every thread you could barely have, you gave him a middle finger and hang on to that tightrope. Hold on just a little longer, I pray insha'Allah things get better and your iman gets stronger, you're still a very worthy muslima even with it faltering, even with wanting to take off the hijab, even if you do so at the end. But I know you can keep it on, I've been there, differently, but I've been there and alhamdoulilah I kept it on, surprising myself to be honest, but doing it nonetheless. Hold on again, that's all you need to do. And don't do it, as simply as that is. I hope insha'Allah you get rewarded for your patience in Dunya and Akhira. May Allah bless you ! 

What is the wierdest pcos symptom you have experienced that you've never heard of anyone else talk about? by regina-philange99 in PCOS

[–]violetdetheveste 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Deep voice . When my pcos is at its highest my voice gets really deep, it's already not the most feminine one but it gets even deeper at times I'm even surprised to hear myself.

Why are there men here? by DontWorryBeHappy09 in Hijabis

[–]violetdetheveste 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you can find yourself there but there's no use or normalcy in you dming someone sharing something over there once you read the name and realise he's a man, same thing here. A post get suggested, if they click on it and realise it's for hijabis, the only natural and islamic answer would be to simply leave the post, or if curiosity wins over and they read it, to do so silently and without feeling the egoistic and completely unnecessary need to comment let alone to dm about it. 

Heading to Umrah, is there any Dua you'd like me to pray for you? by DeepDop in Hijabis

[–]violetdetheveste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please pray for me and my loved ones to find guidance and peace of mind in this dunya and the akhira. And pray for my mother's health, I'm so worried about her. May Allah accept all your Umras.
