I used to have partners that rolled their eyes when I treated myself to a nice cappuccino every single day or when I bought pricey Japanese denim when I could have picked up Levi's at target but honestly treating yourself well is like a muscle and you can easily look touch with it if you stop doing it. Life is too short to skip your favorite breakfast bagel sandwich even if they charge a little extra for the salmon lox! There's a difference between spending money and time you DONT have vs knowing the value of your joy and knowing it's not worth skipping out on!!!

Be gentle with yourself, it’s only Dunyā.

I'm gonna tell you a secret.....

Allah swt repeatedly refers to the dunya in the Qu’ran as a mata’a - مَتَاعًا. translated as a “resource for transitory worldly delight”; it’s a resource, a tool, a path - not the destination.
