Old Is Gold

“Old is gold” is a fallacy I’ve seen a lot of millennials, and the generation before them, cherish.

You always hear, “Oh, the good old days. Life was simpler. Things were better back then.”

But were they?

We have a habit of comparing an edited version of yesterday with the unedited reality of today.

We remember how people were supposedly more connected, but forget the uncertainty of not knowing whether someone you loved had reached safely, how they were doing or when you'd hear from them again.

We romanticise how people lived, but forget how much less we understood about our own bodies—illnesses went unnoticed, pain unexplained and answers were harder to find.

We complain about information overload, but forget when information itself was scarce. You could question what you were told, but finding the truth was another matter.

The brain slowly lets go of the inconveniences and struggles of the past while holding onto its better moments.

Time romanticises things that weren't particularly romantic when we were actually living through them.

And sometimes when people say, “Life was better back then,” what they really miss isn't the world they lived in.

They miss who they were when they lived in it.

So I use a simple trick whenever I'm going through a bad period.

I imagine my future self reminiscing about the exact life I'm living right now.

Because chances are, one day I'll look back at some of this and call them the “good old days” too.

Maybe the good old days aren't behind us.

Maybe we're living through them right now, and we just haven't been given enough time to realise it.

I think marriage is less about finding a perfect person and more about finding someone you can grow with. What do you think is more important: compatibility from the beginning or the ability to grow together?

I’m a 32-year-old Muslim man from Pakistan, currently working in Islamabad. I’m a simple, hardworking and responsible person, and I’m looking for a genuine relationship with the intention of marriage.

I’m open to meeting a Muslim woman from another country, as I’m willing to build my future outside Pakistan as well. For me, good character, mutual respect, religious values, honesty and understanding are more important than nationality or background.

I’m looking for someone who is serious about marriage and wants to build a peaceful, supportive family life together. I believe a good marriage starts with honest communication, mutual respect and trust.

If you’re also looking for a genuine and serious marriage, I’d be happy to get to know you and see if we’re compatible.

I wanted to share something that has been on my mind and ask if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Since becoming Muslim, I’ve found that one of the most difficult things for me has been finding a husband. I’m a sweet and caring person and serious about my deen, but sometimes I feel that being a revert makes people immediately hesitate or overlook me simply because I wasn’t born Muslim or didn’t grow up in a Muslim family.

It can be difficult emotionally when you feel like you’re not always given the chance to be known for who you are and the person you’ve become. Sometimes it feels like your background is considered more important than your faith, character and commitment to Islam.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar whether you’re a revert yourself, or even if you’re born Muslim and have experienced being rejected or judged because of your background, family, culture, ethnicity, or something else that was outside of your control.

For the brothers especially, have any of you experienced something similar when looking for a wife? And for sisters, have you ever felt that you weren’t given a fair chance because of your background?

How did you deal with it, and did you eventually find someone who looked beyond those things and valued you for your deen and character?

I’d really love to hear people’s experiences and advice. 🤍
