Need guidance, feeling completely lost

As-salamu alaykum. I embraced Islam two years ago and initially felt so much joy, but now I’m sinking into sadness. I know seeking a spouse outside of marriage isn’t right, but living in the US and being around mostly Moroccans, I’ve ended up meeting Moroccan sisters in ways that aren’t ideal. It’s like my world flipped overnight, and I can’t find a connection-either she’s very practicing and I feel unworthy, or the opposite, and it leaves me thinking I might as well have looked outside the faith. I have tattoos, so many parents won’t even consider me. My family isn’t supportive of my deen either. I’m at my lowest, feeling utterly alone, and my prayers have become so scarce. Please, any advice? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Brother, don't let your past define you. Tattoos don't erase your iman. Focus on rebuilding your salah, even if it's just one prayer a day. Allah's mercy is vast.
