Dear God,

Thank you for all good you have done for me and my future and forever husband. We are very grateful for your blessings everyday life and can't wait to be together soon.

I'm fed up of hearing about my painful childhood every Sunday. As Gran always brings my past up and I don't like it. I'm angry with the constant housework and stagnation happening.

This started by me saying "Your only happy when the boys (Males in the house) find love and not happy whenever girls find somebody special. I'm not saying this to start drama but it's the truth, let me explain below.

Me

As you all know that I love Daniel very much and hope to marry him soon. My family had gave me a very hard time for loving a man of my choice. The love that he gave me was literally a fairytale love and been amazing.

I was forced to hide in the bush, read everyone's number plates and always on edge.

My older girl cousin

She found love with her boyfriend of 3 years ago and known he had been the one God sent her way. They both went to a place of worship said "You two will get married" and she was sure of it.

He is a different caste where my family look down on it. My girl cousin had tried to explain that her boyfriend's family don't believe in the caste system. She spoke in a calm, mature, civilised and dignified voice about this. She just got shouted at and had to lie she isn't with him.

My younger boy cousin

He is able to bring his girlfriend of 6 years over and has been spending time with the family for almost a year now. She is more liked in the family, than me as I got called "a burden" and always doing the housework.

They are able to go out everywhere together, holidays, dates and presents.

This results in me having to sit in a small room as can't sit in the lounge. It made me think about somebody who I used to talk to. How she would sit in the room, as to have no choice but hope things got better for her.

Just not with Daniel's presence or expense there.

My older boy cousin had got annoyed with finsing out that my older girl cousin had been dating somebody of a lower caste. He had got angry, then later he understood as also dating somebody of a lower caste and is also 4 years older.

He has been with her for a year or 2 years, not sure but he want to marry her. As I got told that by somebody today and nobody really tells me anything.

Then yesterday I found out that my uncle wants to get married to the woman who he loves. Even though Trinity is a Christian name, as I know there is a church called "Trinity Church" near my college.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy that my uncle had found love and wants to settle down. As he couldn't do that 11 years ago due to circumstances happening and how he deserves a break.

Of course he does, yet I'm angry with the fact how everyone had to crush me down for being in love with Daniel. Yet everyone else can build themselves up.

Then I got told "If you had found a nice man, who is the same religion and caste as you. What we would do is to find out more about the family and see if he is good enough for you. Then we can decide whether the wedding can go ahead or not.

That's just not right or fair, I will never be attracted to an Indian man. As I had never had good experiences with them because people would just "assume" that I would have an arranged marriage.

What happened to everyone having a right to marry somebody of their own choice? This is literally in the Human Rights Act 1998 and wish they could take it more seriously.

I can't believe how everyone thinks that my life path has to be chosen for me. Literally everyone outside of the house, apart from mum and Fluffy know that I love Daniel very much. He shows me more emotional love than any man in my life did.

Whenever everyone was arguring or misunderstanding, I couldn't just get in my car and say I'm going to be with Daniel. As to have that time to switch off and someone to console me. I had to deal with the arguments, not being heard and my voice not being valued.

All I wanted and needed is Daniel to be there to hug me and keep me safe. To have Fluffy with me because it's not fair on him listening to everything. He is just as innocent but I couldn't have that.

So many people who I know are all supportive and understanding of my love with Daniel. That we will have a wonderful marriage together and everything will work out for us.

I'm fed up of having to keep secrets but been put in no position. As everyone else apart from mum would start arguing and saying "It's not right to be in love with someone outside of your religion" yet God made human beings.

No religious book says "In order to follow your religion, you need to hate another religion what had upset your ancestors."

By the way, my uncle is getting married next year and hopes to get a place with the new woman he loves. I hope that me, mum and Fluffy are able to get a home soon. Since, we will just be forgotten about and just have to clean up after everyone else.

I have also made a list of people to invite to my wedding too and forgive me it won't be many family members. As deep down they will never support me but deserve to be happy. That's why I'm part of racial Injustice project, as I get unfair treatment for loving Daniel. Get made to feel bad, even though I'm respectful to my religion and there for everyone.

I don't want to spend any more days cleaning up after everyone else. Housework is not a good enough reason to force two people apart and it's not seen as embarrassing.

Since, me, my older girl cousin and older boy cousin are seen as "shameful and embarrassing" for loving a person who isn't the same caste/religion.

This type of thinking is what caused racism to happen and it shouldn't have to be like this. Please get a long term change for me, I'm fed up of hearing my painful childhood past every Sunday.

Maths Prayer

Dear God,

Thank you for all good you have done for me and my fiancé- Daniel (My soon to be, future and forever husband) we are very grateful for your blessings everyday life.

I always found Maths hard but recently started to understand it better now. As to cut out the negative people and making sure to discipline myself with revision. Every night possible, as I would like to pass the whole of my Early Years and Childcare Level 1 course. As do know that I'm more than capable of doing this. Since I passed my GCSE English, 3 years ago.

Also I would like to progress onto Level 2 Early Years and Childcare or Health and Social care. This won't be possible if I'm not studying or asking for help. Can't let negative people get to me or listen to their rude comments. Thinking I'm in capable of this when not.

Today I had came up with a positive and uplifting comment what helped me alot. "I'm not just dreaming about having a beautiful relationship and marriage with Daniel. (My then unknown future and forever husband at highschool) now I'll be making a future with him. Since working hard for my GCSE Maths to pass in the summer. Really do pray that your blessings everyday will be poured onto me. So I can pass this with a SOLID GRADE 4.

Please allow me to have any opportunity possible to allow me to revise for Maths. As I really do want to get married to Daniel, support myself and help the health care and child care sector out. Every time I'm in Maths or revising it, I always see double numbers. Hopefully this is a "yes" to God - you accepting my prayer request and to finally pass GCSES Mathematics next summer.

I trust your divine intervention and know that you will bring everything together in your timing.

Thank you.

Dear Future and Forever Husband,

Daniel this prayer is for you.

I pray you are as loving as you are loyal. I pray you are as handsome as you are honest. I pray you have an unbreakable bond with God along with your family. I pray that you're intelligent enough to teach me how to learn more, be more and see more, while not being too stubborn to listen and learn from me as well. I pray when I ask you things you do them out of love, and I pray when you're mad at me you won't do things out of spite. I pray your actions are so powerful that I never have to underestimate your words. I pray you have a sense of humour that can move mountains on days where I can't even move out of bed. I pray you protect my heart as if it were your own. I pray you understand and accept me as if I were a spitting image of you. I pray you love me enough that you'll never turn your back on me because the bond we have is way more important than any disagreement, confrontation or misunderstanding. I pray our love is living proof that true love does exist.

I desire neither earthly kingdom, nor even freedom from birth and death.

I desire only the deliverance from grief of all those afflicted by misery.

Oh Lord, lead us from the unreal to the real; from darkness to light; from death to immortality.

May there be peace in celestial regions.

May there be peace on earth.

May the waters be appeasing.

May herbs be wholesome and may trees and plants bring peace to all.

May all beneficent beings bring peace to us. May your wisdom spread peace all through the world.

May all things be a source of peace to all and to me.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti (Peace, peace, peace).
