Mr. Lonely

Abdul-Hadi in blog
This blog is an attempt to catalogue the motives & thoughts that landed me here on ShiaChat, as well as to better understand myself and why I am so interested in and find Islam (specifically Shia Islam) so intriguing.
Some of the topics that will be addressed:
-Personal & family history
-Mental & physical health (potentially triggering, will be marked)
-American culture & alienation
-Hopes & fears about the future
-Barriers & obstacles to my embracing Islam
-Contradictions within my own faith tradition (Eastern Rite Catholicism)
-My concept of self & identity
Occasionally I may also post poetry or my artwork (Always 'G' rated).
Thank you for reading
