Welcome to my blog!

This blog is an honest look at what life is like for this particular American convert to Islam. We're taught in Islam to cover our sins, to not air them, for fear of lessening the severity of sinning. In this blog, I may relate past indiscretions from time to time. This isn't to make light of them, but in the interest of educating Muslims and non-Muslims alike as to the realities of life as an American convert, I present my mistakes honestly. I make no excuses for them, nor do I claim that they were okay to make. I am not perfect, and I make no pretenses as to that. If others can learn from my past, know that Islam, and religion in general, is open for people no matter what mistakes they've made, then I will gladly air my sins when needed.

Public shaming will help me succeed.

DEAR EVERYONE!

Good news! I have decided my life's path! Now to get God to agree with it.

Anyway, God willing, I'll graduate in December with my Associate's. After that, I'm going to apply for, and be accepted to, CalArts' BFA in Character Animation.


This is where you come in:

I AM SPREADING THIS TALE ABOUT THE INTERNET SO THAT THE SHAME OF SO MANY PEOPLE KNOWING MY FAILURE WILL GUARANTEE THAT I SUCCEED. SHOULD I NOT SUCCEED, YOU MAY COMMENCE SHUNNING, JEERING, AND TAUNTING.

DO THAT ANYWAY. MAKE ME SUCCEED.

Thank you,
Me

  1. Salaam sister, I just stumbled across your blog and just from one Muslim to another, I wish to congratulate you and I praise Allah who guided you to the way of all the prophets from Adam to Abraham to Muhammad (peace upon them all)!

    Stay patient upon God's revelation and work hard in this life for all good causes - I will try to do the same!
