I graduated last year from dental school just started a new job. Education is very important to my family and I so I want to be able to have a career and family. I feel with hard work and strong relationship with my spouse can make this doable. I can be quiet but it usually just takes me a while to get comfortable and open up. I have a lot of empathy and a large idealistic streak, almost to a fault because then world events can really make me feel down. I feel that I really fire up when I'm passionate about something and I can at times be opinionated but more than anything I like to have a discussion. I don't need to be right all the time but I do feel like I need to be heard. To be completely honest I had a "falling out" with Islam a while back and have since then been circling back. I kind of broke lose from the textbook version of the religion that was all rules and regulations and was lost for a while. I've started to create a deeper and stronger faith however and it's definitely a work in progress but I'm proud of the journey thus far. The best way I can describe it is back during the Prophets (pbuh) time he would go to Cave Hira and meditate and have all these questions about life. Then Angel Jibrail appeared and gave him his answer which was Islam. Ever since then we are taught Islam (the answer) but we were never really given the opportunity to ask our own questions. Its confusing I know and its been a rough path but I am a firm believer that everything is written and everything happens for a reason. Other than that I'm a complete nerd, I express myself and relax through painting and drawing. Also I've kept a diary since I was in 5th grade that I still write in often.
