I counted down the days....

NOW, what productive things can you do to fill those 1,680 days? Make a list. You can read Qur'an every day. You can go for a walk or a jog every day. You can volunteer somewhere (maybe not every day, but once a week). You can join a club at school. You can teach yourself a new skill or hobby.

*wrinkles brow* Just to be clear, this is a different crush than the last one, is it not? This is not the 12 year old girl, right?

I note that you'll probably change your mind oh in a few days or maybe in a few months or in some years.

So, what I'll tell you instead of doing what doesn't work is to enjoy your days of being a teen and not give your heart to anyone but the one who'll really and actually share your life in the future. These crushes are meaningless, ya know, because your mind is again going to change. But more importantly, you might have someone in mind, but only Allah knows who is written in your destiny.

Instead, use this time to benefit yourself with making duas (supplications) to God about your future wife and request God to give your future wife the strength and modesty to save her chastity, for her to like you immediately when you meet her, for her to understand you and willing to be your companion in life for good or ill whatever may come, and for you to recognize her when you meet her and for your married life to be blessed and full of laughter and verve.

Take care of yourself and your emotions, brother, because the only one who deserves such devotion is the one whom Allah has written for you; so, guard your heart. Barkallahu feek.

(And peace be upon you)
