For better or worse. Small scale or large. Personal or shared. What is an event you’ve experienced that changed the way you act, live, feel, etc. It could be short-term or long. Share what you feel comfortable with. Triumphs and tragedies alike.

    Nah, elsewhere. Sitting in class, watching one plane hit the building on repeat (teacher brought in a television and put the news on). For a few months we kept being told that Islam is a religion of hate. Piqued my interested in learning about Islam because I thought to myself, “how can a hateful religion even exist today?”. Boy o’boy, 9/11 was both a disaster and a blessing, that’s all I can say.

      Hey, glad you found yourself. while I don’ practice Islam, the peeps I know who do have a lot of drive for the family. And I believe they showed that collectivism is far less lonely than individualism. And ritual helps with stability. So I hope you found that and more on your journey =)
