VLOG: Spend The Weekend With Me As a Lonely Girl

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

Without really spilling the tea, I would love to hear about how you’re approaching love and finding a partner moving forward, dating in your lonely girl era, cultural pressures on that front, etc.

[@dpat74]

Also what lessons she has learned over the past year regarding her seperation

[@serrakmo7959]

I know from myself if you spend your alone time reading/ memorizing Quran and praying more than usual you'll look forward for your alone time. Hope you feel better soon ❤️

[@HawaAbdulKadir-bw4to]

Indeed.

[@jeniferjohnson374]

Yes. Always

[@leastidyworld4365]

That’s such a lovely idea. Or the Bible, could also be great (I am Christian).

[@wahidarahman1858]

Sometimes, loneliness is a blessing in disguise. Give yourself time to bloom to the fullest, Insha'Allah Allah will help you with everything and make things easier for you. We love you no matter what. Hope you are happy and healthy Loren ❤ . This duniya is a prison for the believers indeed. So it is what it is!

[@fsh1213]

Hi Loren! This is totally unsolicited but I just wanted to share some advice from a fellow Muslim divorceé. When I got divorced, I moved somewhere new, I got my own place, and I tried to be as independent as possible. What happened next was the start of the most beautiful phase of my life Alhamdulillah. It was lonely at times - but a few things that happened to me: I learned to love ME and pour into ME. Suddenly, there wasn’t anyone else to take care of me (not my parents, not my partner), and I learned so much about myself as I learned to love me - my boundaries, and what I was and wasn’t going to accept in my life. When I met my new husband, he always said that he was inspired by the way I honored and treated myself, and knew that if he wanted me, he had to treat me even better than I already treated myself. I also learned to have high standards - if someone wasn’t going to love and honor me the way I loved and treated myself and them…I was so much more confident to walk away because I knew what it felt like to truly be independent and I wasn’t scared of being alone anymore. Lastly, I was in the best shape of my life because all I had to do was go to work and then focus on me :) . Moving out and living alone was truly one of the best periods of my life, and when I look back at it with my girlfriends (Muslim or otherwise) we all agree that a woman should live independently at least once in her life. So many of my girlfriends who got married young, had babies young - look back at the time I got with myself when I was young and wish they had had the same experience. Maybe pick a spot with other single girlies! Maybe Austin to be near Amanda and her SILs? They seem to have a ton of fun and not everyone has kids yet. Also wanted to mention - I became so close to my faith and Allah SWT during this time, because I used the quiet, vulnerable moments to talk to Allah SWT, and the alone time brought me closer to prayer, duaa, and seeking knowledge about our beautiful faith. I also think as you grow and get older, so are your followers. I’m sure living on your own and cultivating your own space, and the day by day of adulting on your own (not that you don’t adult now - it’s just different living with your parents!) would probably resonate with your followers now too as they navigate their different stages of life. Give it a try 🩷 sending lots of love and a big hug! You got this and you deserve the world.

[@leastidyworld4365]

I’ve never lived alone and I am not independent as a result. Tbh independence kinda scares me. I get scared that I can’t take care of myself. Wow, I feel like I am in therapy. 😆

[@fsh1213]

@@leastidyworld4365anyone can do it, as long as you have a steady job! I lived paycheck to paycheck for my first year and spent very carefully, but as a result I had a lot of time curating every single piece in my apartment at the time. It passed the time, gave me something to focus on and brought me joy! It’s great things like investing in yourself and your space that helped me battle the loneliness when it came!

[@dpat74]

im happy you feel comfortable opening up more. would love to get a Q&a about your personal and career life. Do you see yourself moving out of your parents home anytime soon? Maybe moving to a larger city gives you a chance to grow as a person. There a loads of hobbies you can do that don't really require to always go out: book club, creative things like painting/knitting etc., take a online class to learn a new skill or language, I know you are really into fitness I could see you training for a 5k or half marathon.

[@AC-iw5mv]

I hope this doesn’t put any pressure on her as I find it lovely and wholesome that she lives with her family and near other family members. I think that is much more healing than anything else. But I don’t know

The hobbies are all good ideas though

Loren this vlog is much appreciated I loved to see you pray and your prayer outfit looks amazing. I also loved how authentic you were in this vlog and there are a lot of people out there feeling lonely including me. Life is not easy but if we strive to live on the right path we have so much to win. Love you sister 💕.

[@hiba7170]

You're a resilient person and this chapter of your life will be the most meaningful. There's a poem called love after love that talks about at some point we meet ourselves again to learn to love the person that's been there always (yourself) 💛

[@channel-p5j]

Just read this poem, it’s beautiful. ❤

[@mariajainem4157]

I’m a silent watcher and have been for YEARS! But I wanted to comment as someone who’s been through what you’ve been through! When my last relationship ended I never felt more alone AND broken. The only thing that helped me get through it was getting closer to the religion and our faith and I kept myself busy! Whether that was making random hair bookings on a weekend, facial appointments, wake up early grab a coffee and go for a walk. I also worked 2 jobs purposely to keep myself from feeling lonely. And definitely focusing on no one other than yourself! May Allah grant you ease 🤍

[@imanebahnane6568]

I get what you were saying in the beginning. Just because sometimes we feel lonely that doesn't mean we don't enjoy our alone time ❤

[@aye.sha88]

Embrace the loneliness. Use the time to get to know yourself better and work on your shortcomings! I'm going the through the same thing but Alhamdulilaa, I don't try to get too much into my head about it. I always remind myself that Allah is giving me this time to work on my relationship with Him and to be close to Him where otherwise, I would've had distractions.

[@leastidyworld4365]

Don’t be sad, you’ve got us viewers. No pressure to be happy, though, gotta be honest about your feelings, and I can understand that it’s sad, but we are here for you. xxx

[@candycupcake6795]

i commented last video about how it would be nice to show some vulnerability, and i wanted to thank you for listening to your supporters! I appreciated how you opened up about the hard transition and didn't fake a bubbly happy personality. I hope we see more of this and you can answer our questions, as followers we sometimes feel pushed away from your regular beauty content. As a Muslim girl, i know the societal pressure to be married by a certain age and the views on getting divorced, and it takes so much more strength to leave a situation that doesn't serve you. I would love to see you dive into these topics and give your perspective when you're ready, it would help a lot of people struggling through the same thing and puts into perspective that you're truly just like us, which i missed seeing from you 💗

[@vidamia888]

Loren, idk if you’ll read this, but I know how challenging it is to be back, living, with your parents. But, remember that you will only be this “commitment-free” for a short period. Your parents will only be this age, for this period of time. Learn to embrace this period, spend time and bond even more with your parents, family and friends. Find and create a more quality relationship with them. May Allah guide you, and continue to strengthen you. 🩷

I met a lot of great friends there alhamdulillah. And even if I didn’t make friends right away it was still great to connect and socialize with like-minded sisters. 💛

Loren, take your time. Theres alot of girls out there aged 25 and above who arent in relationships and its completely ok. I love that you moved back in to your parents, again totally normal and fine. You dont need to, like some have advised, to move out to an apartment and have more independence. Love and comfort within parents homes is such a blessing, time is too precious. You've been through alot and everything will happen when Allah wills it to. Take care of yourself, you are exactly where Allah wants you to be and theres hidden wisdom in that xx

Loren, thanks for saying that you were protecting your peace. Don't forget, this is just one chapter in your book of life. You're learning a lot and now you'll be more intuitive. I'm sure you've been told that " You're young and beautiful and you still have your whole life ahead of you. " As cliché as it is, it's true. Beyoncé never shares and that's why there isn't much negativity that can be said about her, lol. You are doing the right thing by taking your time.

[@MrsAZ0000]

No hate but you seem very stuck up. You seem like you look down on 80% of people. I'm not sure if it's the way you speak or the way you roll your eyes especially when you talking about detergent. Majority of your viewers don't have privileges like you do so maybe normal detergents are affordable. Just food for thought. By all means show your shopping and your lifestyle but plz refrain from words like "you guys shouldnt be buying" im sure if we all had the option we'd want to make better choices and more expensive choices but we dont all have the bank balances to buy all natural detergents oe expensive handwashes or natural free sanitary equipment. I get this vibe mostly from you and leena. Not from amanda. She seems much more humble

[@21972012145525]

Clean is not a regulated term. It's just marketing and has a higher price with no scientific benefits unless you have an allergy to a specific ingredient. Exception is fragrance, which can lead to skin irritation. If you have a preference , that's fine. But people need to stop saying toxic or not healthy etc when it has no scientific basis and the alternative has a premium price. Unnecessary fear mongering.

[@Sadiii-d7r]

We always enjoy watching your vlogs u don’t need to explain anything it’s ur life live it ❤

[@bananya122cliff]

Hi Loren, thanks for sharing your feelings on this - I am in my 30s and understand how you feel when you mention not seeing friends as much anymore, as all of mine are also married/have kids/moved away. The weekends when you're not occupied with work and don't have plans can be quite depressing! I think it's always a good idea to focus on switching things up when you're ready to - moving out, maybe to somewhere new (but still close enough to family and friends), solo travelling and just really getting to pour into your interests and passions. It doesn't eradicate the loneliness, but it makes life feel like it's slightly more in your control, if that makes sense? I lived at home with my family until I was 28 and I felt lonelier then weirdly (even though we have a great relationship), as I didn't feel fully grown up. Now when I see my family at the weekends, it feels more special! Sending you love

[@21972012145525]

But Islamically you're not supposed to unless extenuating circumstances exist.
