What is an event that altered you in some way?
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.

9/11/2001.
Were you there, or elsewhere?
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 =)
