Alright, here’s my feedback, first of all i really really love that your Muslim character is Indian, there’s a good percentage of Muslims in India that not many people are aware of although it isn’t a Muslim country and so they get quite underrepresented, secondly, the concept of someone comforting someone else by mentioning Allah’s plan and that He is the force that is capable of guiding us is all okay, i feel like even though  “or whatever God you believe in” does make sense, I don’t see why a Muslim would say that because Muslims believe that Allah is the only true god, if someone believes in God in general they believe in Allah-as Allah is just the Arabic word for God- this is probably only seen differently in religions that worship multiple Gods. Thirdly, when you say Barakallahu Feek it is usually in response to “Jazakhallah”, these two words are almost always used as a “Thank you” (Jazakhallah) (that’s not the meaning of Jazakhallah btw it’s just used as a thanks, the literal translation is May God reward you with goodness) and “You’re welcome” (Barakallahu Feek), the meaning is technically May Allah bless you, kind of like a thanks, so hearing it in a conversation to literally replace “May god bless you” definitely seems a bit out of place. I hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions if there’s anything that needs to be explained clearer, so far your extract seems epic :)

@miracle_ninja  OK hi, so in this scene I have a Indian character and she's Muslim. she tells the main character line right here: 
          	  
          	  
          	  "Child, whatever *Allah has planned for you will take effect in its own time. You must trust him or whatever God you believe in. He will not steer you wrong. I can't help you any further but I can encourage you my dear. I love you like one of my own. Big things are gonna happen for you. I just know it. May Allah continue to protect you and keep you safe from danger and *Barakallahu Feek."
          	  
          	  did I use those words correctly? I researched galore but I just wanted to make sure. And don't be afraid to be blunt and correct me cuz I really need the advice

Hi guys, yes I'm alive and well. Short update: since my last update I've been through a little bit of a lot. Stress with school especially with it being my junior year, losing friends and overall just craziness. However as this year's coming to an end I decided that I want to focus more on myself. I've gotten out of touch with drawing and writing. I let go of my job and any other things that were stressful. I'm focusing on myself and my happiness. That's why I decided and I hope that I'm able to stay true to this, but I want to continue the story. I honestly miss writing it and this story was the best thing that happened to me. It brought me so many friends and supporters online. Plus I feel like it would be a nice thing to go to when I need to relieve some stress. As long as you guys are still interested and still supporters of mine I would like to bring back some Nova but better than ever before. Hopefully I will start my updates in January which gives me enough time to write and thoroughly plan everything. I probably won't be back on here to update until then so Merry Christmas and Happy New years! Luv y'all ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just need to rant, I know I only show up here every once in a while because I haven't had any motivation mainly because I've just been going through it frfr. I'm a junior now in high school and I know a college is gonna be way worse but I'm taking 3 AP classes. First of all wtf was I thinking? Then! I have always been A and A/B honor roll. And I know I shouldn't even be worried about it but I have two C's right now. And the grading periods over in like 3 days and there's nothing I can do cuz my teachers won't give extra credit. Then I've been having problems with my self-esteem lately and I'm just not generally happy Idk. Then ofc you must add boy problems to the list, I randomly added his guy on Snapchat from someone's story he texted me and was talking to me and everything. Asked me if I went to the same school, what grade I was, what I looked like, etc. He's new and I had never met him before, so of course we were trying to see each other in school to make sure everything's legit yk? He texted me one afternoon like I saw you today and I'm like when? He says at lunch and that we make eye contact. And I'm like that's oddly specific yk but he says he doesn't like approaching people too. Which is cool cuz I don't either, but yk I would have thought the next day he would've maybe. I tried texting him today and he texted back but when I replied to his text, I've been put on delivered since 4 p.m. so atp I'm like fuck it then... And my mom is kinda mad at me cuz she thinks I don't want her involved in my crush shit so now she's like I don't want to be a part of your love life or whatever cuz I feel like I'm interfering. I've been telling her everything about him so I'm like idrk what to do. I'm so just so stressed and upset. I just wanna sleep and forget everything and become a new person. What's wrong with me and why can't I just be happy for once in highschool?

@Cole_ninjagocake321 listen, high school isn't really a happy time for anyone;; its so confusing and you're still figuring things out and ill tell ya- ya, college is worse and you'll still be confused for a while but trust me, things do get better in their own ways..  I never told my mom about my "realtionships", we aren't that close lol, so I can't relate.. but!! Just focus on surviving and enjoying this free part of life while you can! Do what makes you happy even if it means letting a grade or two slip. Nothing is more important than you enjoying yourself and your life. Now is the time to figure out what it is that makes you enjoy living! Life sorts itself out one way or another so hang in there;; I hope that helps;; good luck :')
