Returning to Islam, alhamdulillah

As-salamu alaykum. I was born into a Muslim family, but over time I grew resentful toward people and how religion was presented to me, so I told myself I wasn't Muslim anymore and stopped caring. Now, as I've matured, I see the problem wasn't Islam itself but certain people and cultural habits. Islam is beautiful and peaceful - honestly, one of the most caring and structured ways of life when it comes to community. You don't feel alone when you're with other Muslims. I'm going to start reading the Qur'an with sincere curiosity, not because someone forces me, but to really try to understand what I'm reading. I'll begin praying again to feel a connection with Allah, not just out of obligation or fear. I want to read the stories of the prophets, learn how they lived, and see who they spent time with. With so much negativity coming from inside the community and from those who don't understand true Islam, I want to block that out and focus on myself and the One above. I hope to live with the same respect and integrity the prophets showed, insha'Allah.
