From human behaviour to neurodiverse perspectives, explore how we think, feel, and experience the world 🧠
@Its_Airin
Why I prefer someone close to where I've built my life?
The answer is simple.
I don't want to leave behind 17 years of hard work, my job, my independence, my friends, and a place that already feels like home.
Love is beautiful, but reality matters too.
I don't want to lose them, chasing a dream that may not become my reality.

I want to get married, but only once, without divorce, or infidelity, being two people who love eachother always until death.

In a bustling corner of the city lived a woman named Chika.If you knew her,you would know she was the complete package : witty,full of jokes that could fill a room with laughter,firm in her principles,yet grounded by deep piety.Behind her cheerful laughter,Chika carried extraordinary tenderness,a compassionate soul that knew no bounds.
Yet,among all the stories of her life,there was one name that never failed to touch the deepest corners of her heart : SYAHRINI.
Syahrini has now turned 22 years old.However,destiny painted her path in different colors.Born as the youngest child of a very humble family,her late father was a rickshaw driver and her mother was a homemaker,Syahrini grew up as a child with special needs,living with DOWN SYNDROME and autism.
Although her body has matured and her biological clock keeps ticking,Syahrini’s world seems to have paused in her early childhood.She behaves like a four-year-old,and her physical frame remains petite,much like a primary school child.She cannot string words together,but her eyes,the unmistakable eyes of someone with Down syndrome,speak more honestly than a thousand sentences.
"Syahrini may not be able to say 'Mami',but her warm hug always knows where home is."
Ever since Syahrini was 7 years old,that special bond was forged.Chika,who was her neighbor at the time,saw Syahrini's innocence and resolved in her heart to become a MAMI (mother figure) to her,a title that stayed with her as Syahrini grew up. Every time they meet,the 22-year-old girl immediately rushes to embrace Chika.It is not uncommon for Syahrini to sit comfortably in Chika’s lap,utterly affectionate and unbothered by her weight.There,they joke,laugh,and briefly forget the harshness of the outside world.
Syahrini does not live with Chika.Her biological mother,an elderly woman in her 60s, cannot bear to be separated from her youngest daughter.Thus,their bridge of affection is kept alive through time and regular visits.
Whenever Chika has spare time amidst her busy schedule making a living,she visits the small rented house where Syahrini lives.Conversely,Syahrini’s mother sometimes holds her hand and brings her over to Chika’s home.
Chika always arrives bringing whatever small joy she can offer :
👉 Pocket money and Syahrini's favorite snacks
👉 Milk to support her health
👉 Clothes and various toys that never fail to make Syahrini's eyes sparkle.
For Syahrini,the world is simply about EATING,PLAYING,AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.And Chika is one of the main pillars bringing those vibrant colors into her world.
Yet,behind the laughter and playful moments during every visit,a quiet sorrow creeps into Chika’s heart.Every time she gazes upon Syahrini’s innocent face,her heart melts into a tangle of emotions.Syahrini currently lives with her aging mother and an unmarried older brother who works odd jobs. Her three other siblings are married and live hand-to-mouth in their own rented homes.
Questions often weave anxiety into Chika’s mind :
👉 What will happen to Syahrini when her mother eventually passes away?
👉 Who among her siblings will be able and willing to carry forward this baton of care?
Chika knows she cannot predict the future.But as a pious woman who trusts in God's decree,she surrenders all her fears through her late-night prayers (sepertiga malam).
For Chika,Syahrini is both a source of spiritual blessings and a reminder of unconditional love.No matter how old Syahrini gets,and no matter how the world frames their lives,in Chika’s eyes and heart,Syahrini will always be a little star who deserves love as vast as the ocean.

Between an ugly man and a handsome man, which one will you choose?
Ugly men tend to cheat coz they are not use to the attention. ( women/girls still be chasing after em’ ugly mf, I don’t know why but they do. know what I mean 😉..lol )
But even under the handsome category there are different types:
If they are only handsome after a later stage in life, (#3) they have a higher tendency to cheat.

@Hassan98135
Honestly!
Who keeps spreading rumors to make Muslim men sound the most awful men in existence?
I think most of you have an issue with the culture rather than the men. Also, your issue with Islam, is literally the issue with how each culture deals with Islam.
So it is not that Muslim men are toxic, they are operating in a culture that hasn’t kept up with time, they were raised according to outdated standards. The men themselves, if they moved elsewhere, got incorporated into a new society (abandoning their OG culture) then you’ll notice the difference…..
Lastly, please understand that your value system must be culturally sensitive before you pass judgment. You can’t apply California Laws in Por Sayeed! Logic!

Never judge by appearance alone. True value lies beneath the surface.
